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

The GMC CCKW, often referred to as the "Deuce and a Half", provided essential transport capacity for Allied forces in World War II and beyond. Produced in several body types and wheelbase layouts, some wartime batches substituted composite beds to conserve metal supplies.

Detailed Scale Reproduction for Modellers

Hobby Boss captures the truck with over 330 parts, including fresh tooling and photo-etched pieces for finer elements. Clear components are supplied for accurate glazing and lighting effects, making it a suitable project for those who value fidelity to the original vehicle.

Construction Quality and Presentation

The kit gives a rewarding build experience with parts that allow for realistic finishing and weathering. The precise tyre moulding and etched details help the completed model stand out in a collection or museum-style display.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Length: 180.5mm

  • Photo-Etched Parts: Included
The kit focuses on structural and detail parts; check the box art or contents list for decal inclusion. Many builders add aftermarket decal sheets for unit-specific markings.
Good lighting, a clean tray to keep parts organised and a set of fine tweezers will greatly ease assembly. A small vice or clamp can help when working with photo-etched pieces.
This is a static scale kit and not designed for RC conversion. Converting to a functional RC model would require major modifications to the chassis and drive components.
