Those were widely used not only by the U. S. troops but also by other allied troops. The U. S. was literally the arsenal of democracies. As the World War 2 was the first modern mobile warfare, logistics was of greater importance than ever. Sometimes, it was even more important to ensure smooth supply lines than to develop better ordnance. Many kinds of vehicle were used for supply operations, and among them, the 2 1/2 ton truck, known as "Jimmy" or "Deuce and a half", was one of the most mass produced vehicles, recording the total production of 810, 000. The nickname "Jimmy" was derived because the majority of the total production was done by the GMC firm. The most widely used engine was Type 270 with a displacement of 4, 416cc, yielding 104 horsepower. The power was transmitted to the wheels via five-speed transmission. Two types of driving axles were offered to the truck. One is "Banjo type" manufactured by Chevrolet and the other is "Split type" made by Timkin. Apart from the driving axles, many components, such as cabin, cargo body and chassis frame, varied according to the manufacturers and various uses. Variants included the normal steel-body cargo truck, water tanker, gasoline tanker, cargo-dump truck and multi-role type with tipping cargo body. The most popular variant, GMC CCKW-353 with normal cabin and long wheelbase of 164 inch, weighing 4. 8 ton, had carrying capacity of 2. 42 ton on rough roads and 4 ton on pavement. The maximum speed reached 72km/h. Having the then first class performance like these, the 2 1/2 trucks ran across all the battle fields as a means of transport for the Allied forces and played an important role to bring about the victory of the Allies. After its retirement from the U. S. Army in the early 50"s, they were transferred to all over the world and had a great influence on the progress of today"s military motorcars. Requires paint and assembly. ## Features - The leader in hobby products around the world - Package Dimensions: 6.4 H x 29.4 L x 19.2 W (centimeters) - Package Weight: 322.06 grams - Country of Origin : Japan ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000LFUGY4 | | Additional Features | Detailed reproduction, canvas parts and covers, five markings and driver figure | | Age Range Description | Kid | | Art Craft Kit Type | Plastic Model Kit | | Best Sellers Rank | #127,032 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #246 in Hobby RC Trucks | | Brand Name | TAMIYA | | Color | multicolour | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (388) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04950344352180 | | Included Components | Tamiya 35218 1/35 US 2.5 Ton 6x6 Cargo Truck Plastic Model Kit | | Item Dimensions | 11.38 x 7.5 x 2.38 inches | | Item Type Name | MODEL KIT | | Item Weight | 0.21 kg | | Manufacturer | Tamiya | | Manufacturer Part Number | TAM35218 | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Name | 1/35 US 2.5 Ton 6x6 Cargo Truck Plastic Model Kit | | Model Number | TAM35218 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Paint Type | Acrylic | | Product Style | Classic, Retro | | Scale | 1:35 | | Seasons | All Seasons | | Set Name | Tamiya 35218 1/35 US 2.5 Ton 6x6 Cargo Truck Plastic Model Kit | | Size | Small | | Subject Character | Military | | Theme | Military | | UPC | 798525317122 885128204338 689960278263 797681968216 | | Unit Count | 1 count | | Warranty Description | No Warranty | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Kid - **Brand:** TAMIYA - **Color:** multicolour - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 11.38 x 7.5 x 2.38 inches - **Theme:** Military ## Images ![Tamiya 35218 1/35 US 2.5 Ton 6x6 Cargo Truck Plastic Model Kit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51E9gPid88L.jpg) ## Frequently Bought Together - Tamiya 35218 1/35 US 2.5 Ton 6x6 Cargo Truck Plastic Model Kit - TAMIYA Jeep Willys 1/4 Ton 4X4 Hobby Model Kit for ages 168 months to 1200 months - Tamiya Models Allied Vehicle Accessories,14 Jahre to 99 Jahre --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/3695204-tamiya-35218-1-35-us-2-5-ton-6x6-cargo](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/3695204-tamiya-35218-1-35-us-2-5-ton-6x6-cargo) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-10-30*
