What makes the Red Ball Express historically notable?

The Red Ball Express was a fast-moving supply convoy system that kept Allied units resupplied after the Normandy campaign, relying on heavy lorries like the 2 1/2 ton truck modelled here.

Do I need special tools to build this kit?

Basic modeller tools such as plastic cutters, files, tweezers and a hobby knife are recommended, plus polystyrene cement and suitable paints for a tidy finish.

Are the decals accurate and easy to apply?

Decals provided match the kit's markings and will apply cleanly if you use decal solution and a flat gloss base to reduce silvering before final weathering.
