Hobby Boss 1/35 Scale US GMC CCKW-352 Wood Cargo Truck Kit

The GMC CCKW, nicknamed "the Deuce and a Half", served heavily in WWII and the Korean War as a 2.5-ton 6X6 transport. Multiple versions existed with open or closed cabs and long or short wheelbases. To address shortages the cargo bed was built from both steel and wood components while retaining duty performance.

Accuracy and Parts Summary

This 1/35 scale Hobby Boss kit reproduces the CCKW-352 with careful tooling and attention to small fittings. The set includes over 320 parts, clear parts, and a photo-etched fret to improve fine detail. The tyres are modelled to reflect the original tread and sidewall contours for better authenticity.

Use a light primer suited to plastic followed by olive drab base coats in acrylic or enamel. Apply panel shading and weathering to highlight wood slats and metal edges for a realistic finish.
Cut photo-etched items carefully from the fret, bend with a small plier or bending tool, and attach with superglue sparingly. Mask and paint after fitting for the neatest results.
Yes, the CCKW-352 is ideal for dioramas showing period supply runs, vehicle maintenance scenes, or convoy displays. Add figures and stowage to bring the scene to life.
The kit offers strong basic detail, but collectors seeking museum-level accuracy may fit aftermarket brass, resin accessories, or refine panel lines to match specific historical examples.
