Compact Tamiya 32548 1/48 US 2.5 Ton 6x6 Truck for modellers

The Tamiya 1/48 US 2.5 Ton 6x6 Cargo Truck is ideal for modellers crafting realistic WWII supply scenes. This small-scale version recreates the practical silhouette of the 'deuce and a half' often used for transport and logistics.

Service history and field use

The M35 family, nicknamed the 'deuce and a half', became central to Allied supply chains with very large production runs. Its simple yet rugged design allowed it to be pressed into many roles, and crews commonly adapted vehicles with field modifications to meet specific needs.

Build notes and model fidelity

Tamiya's 1/48 rendition uses a die-cast chassis for a solid foundation and accurately textured cabin top to mimic fabric covers. Builders can remove the top to show the cockpit, and the pack contains a driver figure plus two authentic marking choices for varied historical setups.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: Die-cast chassis
  • Features: Removable cabin top, fabric texture
  • Includes: Driver figure
  • Markings: Normandy unit, Red Ball Express
It is approachable for builders with some experience. The small scale means delicate parts and careful painting, so beginners should take their time or start with a simpler kit first.
Typical finishes include period olive drab and muted weathering. Refer to reference photos to match unit markings and wear for the Normandy or Red Ball Express schemes included.
The driver figure is supplied for display and requires painting. It is a fixed-pose figure intended to complement the completed truck rather than being fully articulated.
