Tamiya US 2.5 Ton 6X6 Truck (1/48)
This 1/48 scale model from Tamiya faithfully recreates the iconic US 2.5 ton 6X6 cargo truck, widely recognised as one of the most important logistical vehicles of WWII. Known affectionately as the “deuce and a half,” it was instrumental in keeping Allied forces supplied with ammunition, fuel, and rations across multiple theatres of war. The kit features a detailed chassis, realistic cab and cargo bed, and includes a driver figure to enhance diorama potential.
- Highly detailed 1/48 scale assembly model of the US 2.5 ton 6X6 truck
- Die-cast chassis with metal screws for secure assembly
- Removable cabin roof to showcase interior detail
- Includes 1 driver figure
- Two marking options, including Normandy and Red Ball Express units
The M35 2.5 ton truck was a true workhorse of the US Army, with over 800,000 produced during WWII. Its design prioritised ease of maintenance, making it reliable in harsh conditions from the beaches of Normandy to the mountains of Italy. The truck was central to the famous Red Ball Express, a rapid supply convoy system that sustained Allied advances after D-Day. Its service extended into the Korean and Vietnam wars, where its adaptability allowed for various field modifications, including improvised armour for convoy protection.
