How historically accurate is the Tamiya 89648 model?

The kit reflects the general appearance and proportions of the US 2 1/2 ton truck used on the Red Ball Express, with parts arranged to reproduce key exterior and cargo details for display models.

What skill level is recommended for this kit?

This is best suited to builders with some modelling experience due to small parts and the need for careful painting and decaling, though patient beginners can complete it with time.

Which paints and adhesives work well on this plastic kit?

Use polystyrene-safe cement for assembly and acrylic or enamel hobby paints for finishing. Primer helps decals sit flat and improves paint adhesion on fine details.
