HBB83833 - Hobbyboss - 1/35 GMC CCKW-352 w/MG Turret 

During World War II, the GMC CCKW-352 became one of the most important logistics vehicles used by the United States Army. Nicknamed the “Deuce and a Half,” this 2½-ton 6×6 cargo truck formed the backbone of Allied supply operations, transporting troops, ammunition, fuel, and equipment across every major theater of the war. Its reliability and mass production made it a symbol of Allied logistical strength.

In some configurations, CCKW trucks were modified in the field or at depots with defensive armament to protect convoys from air or ground attack. One such adaptation included mounting a machine gun turret, giving the vehicle limited self-defense capability during frontline supply runs.

This HobbyBoss 1/35 GMC CCKW-352 w/MG Turret (83833) is a detailed plastic model kit of this armed variant. The kit accurately reproduces the rugged 6×6 chassis, long cargo bed, and utilitarian cab design of the CCKW series. It also includes the distinctive MG turret assembly mounted above the cab, adding a unique and combat-ready appearance to the classic truck. Fine detailing is present throughout the suspension, drivetrain, and cargo area.

This subject is ideal for WWII Allied dioramas, especially convoy escort scenes, forward supply operations, or Normandy and European theater settings.
