Detailed 1/35 Scale Red Ball Express Truck

The Tamiya 89648 captures the look of the US 2 1/2 ton truck that ran on the Red Ball Express supply route, modelled exactly at 1/35 scale so modellers can build an accurate wartime logistics piece. This limited edition kit is geared to collectors and hobby builders who prefer historically grounded subjects.

As part of Tamiya's military range, the kit reflects the brand's standards for clean molds and precise fit. Builders will find parts arranged for realistic assembly, making it a strong candidate for display or diorama work.

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires assembly and painting
  • Decals: Included for authentic markings

Will the kit suit diorama use?

Yes, the proportions and cargo bed detail make this kit suitable for dioramas depicting road convoys or supply lanes, with scope for weathering and crew figures.

Are spare parts or upgrade items available?

Tamiya spare parts can help replace broken components, and aftermarket vendors offer resin or metal upgrades for extra detail on wheels, lights, and engine components.

How should I approach painting the canvas and cargo areas?

Use thin coats and multiple layers to build depth; consider pre-shading under the canvas and light dry-brushing to bring out texture once the base colour is applied.
