Hobby Boss 83830 - 1/35 US GMC CCKW 750 Gallon Tanker Description

The Hobby Boss 83830 represents the US GMC CCKW 750 Gallon Tanker in 1/35 scale, providing a detailed snapshot of a common wartime fuel vehicle. The kit focuses on accurate proportions and service-related features for a convincing model.

Detailing and Scale Accuracy

Components such as the tanker body, pump assemblies and underframe are modelled to reflect prototype geometry and surface detail. This level of fidelity helps when applying washes and drybrushing to bring out rivets and panel lines.

Construction Notes and Display

Assembly requires attention to small parts and alignment to achieve the best finish. After painting and weathering the completed model makes an attractive centrepiece in a collection or diorama of WWII support vehicles.
