L'Arsenal 1/350 GMC CCKW | |||||||||
Model ship builders have always wanted a wider range of 1/350 accessories, and L'arsenal has started to answer that need. Over the past several months L'arsenal has come out with several 1/350 vehicles, giving us more options when it comes to dioramas and filling our supply ships with cargo. One of the most used vehicles during WWII was the GMC CCKW 2 1/2 ton truck. The CCKW was the main stay for transport over land. Used in the famous Red Ball express to deliver much needed supplies to the troops, used as a troop carrier, and prime mover for towed artillery, the CCKW was very versatile. L'arsenal supplies us with a superb little model. This set includes six trucks, half with the canvas top over the bed, the other half without. This is the open cab version, which L'arsenal portrayed with the canvas top over the cab and the doors. None of the trucks have a weapon mount or winch, but maybe L'arsenal will provide different versions at a later time. | Click images
