Academy 13410 - 1/72 US M35 2.5 TON Cargo Truck Scale Model

The Academy 13410 kit reproduces the US M35 2.5 TON Cargo Truck in 1/72 scale with carefully moulded parts and clear reference to the original vehicle. Known informally as the Deuce-and-a-Half, this truck was a workhorse of military logistics from the mid 20th century onward, and the kit is aimed at hobbyists who value historical accuracy and neat assembly.

Historical Background and Modelling Appeal

The M35 is celebrated for its rugged design and adaptability in varied roles. Model builders will find the kit balances realistic panel lines and straightforward assembly, making it rewarding for both newcomers and experienced modellers who enjoy detailing and weathering.

Finished Model Display Options

Once completed, the 1/72 model fits well on shelves, in dioramas, or alongside other military vehicles of the same scale. Its compact footprint makes it easy to display within mixed collections or transport-themed layouts.
