Tamiya 32548 1/48 Deuce and a Half Cargo Truck Kit  [32548]

Tamiya 32548 1/48 US 2.5 Ton 6x6 Cargo Truck for scale model builders

The Tamiya 1/48 US 2.5 Ton 6x6 Cargo Truck makes a strong addition for military model builders wanting authentic WWII supply and convoy scenes. This representation of the 'deuce and a half' captures the look of a versatile workhorse that served across multiple conflicts.

Background and operational significance

Known informally as the 'deuce and a half', the M35 series became a logistical backbone with widespread use and hundreds of thousands produced. Its rugged layout allowed it to tackle varied terrain and it was often adapted in the field with makeshift armour and modifications to meet mission needs.

Kit construction and detailing

This 1/48 kit from Tamiya presents the truck with a die-cast chassis for stability and a cabin top that reproduces fabric texture. The removable cabin top lets builders reveal the interior, and the kit supplies a driver figure plus two marking choices for period-accurate finishes.
