The GMC CCKW earned the nickname "Deuce and a Half" thanks to its 2.5-ton 6x6 capability and widespread wartime service. It was built in multiple configurations to suit different roles, and resource constraints later led to composite bed variants alongside all-metal examples.

This kit is aimed at modellers with some experience due to the number of small components and the inclusion of photo-etched parts. Beginners can build it but should expect a longer, careful process.
Yes, many modellers fit aftermarket accessories such as resin cargo loads, replacement wheels or extra stowage to personalise the build. Ensure compatibility with 1/35 scale parts.
Layering washes, drybrushing raised details and applying dust pigments to wheel wells and undercarriage will create a convincing service-worn finish. Seal with a matte varnish after weathering.
