The M-35A1 truck, also known as the “deuce and a half,” was one of the most important logistics vehicles used by the US Army during the Vietnam War. In the “Gun Truck” version, it was equipped with additional armor and armament, serving as an escort for convoys traveling through dangerous zones. With its distinctive silhouette and combat history, the M35A1 Gun Truck became an icon of the conflict in Indochina.

The offered Eduard set is a must-have for modelers looking for ways to recreate even the smallest details of this vehicle. The abundance of details, such as handles, shields, locks, and ventilation meshes, is reproduced with the highest precision. The photo-etched sheets are exceptionally thin and of excellent quality, which allows for extremely realistic model elements, difficult or even impossible to replicate with plastic. The set also includes clear assembly instructions.

Due to the nature of the material (delicate, thin metal) and the necessity to work with small, precise parts, the set is recommended for at least intermediate and advanced modelers aiming to take their replicas to the highest level of realism. On the assembly difficulty scale, the set is rated 4 out of 5.
