Overview

The 2.5-ton 6×6 cargo truck was an unsung hero of World War II, forming the logistical lifeline of the Allied armies. With over 800,000 built, these rugged and reliable trucks transported countless tonnes of essential supplies, ammunition, fuel, and soldiers to the front lines. Their contribution to the war effort was immense, playing a crucial role in the eventual Allied victory in both Europe and the Pacific.

This 1/48 scale kit from Tamiya is a detailed replica of the iconic ‘Deuce and a Half.’ A key feature of this series, the kit includes a die-cast metal chassis which provides realistic weight and a solid foundation for the model. It depicts a later production version with the canvas cabin roof and includes a driver figure, a removable canvas cover for the cargo bed, an optional open or closed tailgate, and two different marking options.
