WWII, GMC CCKW 353, US Army Cargo Truck with Open Bed.

Artitec 6870732.  Finished / Hand Painted 1/87 Scale Model.

The most commonplace truck of allied armies in WW2: The GMC 353 (and the short wheelbase variant the CCKW-352) has been nicknamed on the field "Jimmy" and "Deuce and a Half". It was called G-508 for the US Army Ordnance number.

The LWB CCKW 353 6x6, 2.5ton truck is by far the best known, pretty much standardized truck manufactured in the US from 1941 to 1945. It still was in service in the Korean War and Vietnam before joining the National guard while thousand more surplus were adopted by numerous armies around the world.

More than 500,000 of the GMC CCKW trucks were produced.

This model is the cargo version of this famous truck with open back 

 Complete, combat ready, fully assembled, detailed, custom painted and weathered resin model.

These models are very prototypical.
