Explore the Hobby Boss 1/35 US GMC CCKW-352 Steel Cargo Truck kit

The GMC CCKW, nicknamed the "Deuce and a Half", was a workhorse for the U.S. Army during World War II and the Korean War, used in many roles from cargo hauling to vehicle recovery. It was built in several body styles, including open and closed cabs and differing wheelbases, and later wartime production sometimes replaced metal beds with composite materials to save steel.

Scale Replica with Historical Detail

The Hobby Boss 1/35 scale GMC CCKW-352 kit recreates this iconic truck with more than 330 parts and a set of newly tooled components. Photo-etched parts and clear pieces are included to boost realism, making this a satisfying build for modellers who focus on authentic detail.

Building Experience and Display Value

This kit is aimed at builders who enjoy precise assembly and realistic finishes. The finely moulded tyres and the addition of photo-etched detail lift the finished appearance, producing a model that displays well either on its own or as part of a WWII diorama.

This kit is best suited to intermediate to advanced modellers because of the number of small parts and photo-etched components. Basic modelling tools, steady hands, and patience are recommended.
Acrylic or enamel paints are commonly used for the GMC CCKW-352, along with fine brushes and an airbrush for larger panels. Use a primer before painting and a thin clear coat to protect decals and weathering.
Test-fit parts before gluing, clean mould lines, and handle photo-etched pieces with tweezers. Dry-fit the cab and bed to ensure alignment, and weather parts separately before final assembly for a realistic result.
