Found Deuce Model Kits

[PorscheTech911]

This website has 'em in 1/72 scale. Some of you have asked about kits or toys for the deuce recently. I happened across this kit while helping out a buddy.

Academy 1/72 WWII US M35 2.5-Ton Cargo Truck Kit

I don't know if its any good, but I hope it helps out.

Thanks for posting this up. Santa brought some self-service gifts this year (cash). So I think I'll order one later this evening.

(Hope you get a commission for your "advertising and promotion" services for them.)

Merry Christmas

instead of 1/72 scale kits, thay are a bit small, try 1/35 scale, when you find a 1/35 deuce, hobby fan makes two gun truck converson kits (HF-027, HF-02. also out in the 1/35 world is a m51 kit, a m49 kit, a 9 something cargo kit, the 900 and the 51 could be combined to make a m54 to be used as a gun truck, if you could not find a m35, the 49 could be used for a gun truck, just build a new bed E-PAY always has a LOTTTTTTTT of 1/35 just for starters, after a FEW minutes on E-PAY , try google 1/35, scale

Interesting. I have several of the 1/35 AFV Deuce kits, they are very detailed but the instructions are somewhat lacking. I'm working on my first one, it's been a few years so some of my skills (and my eyesight) are lacking......
What about a 1/25 M-37???? Bueller, Bueller........

No problem guys, If anyone gets a kit lemme know what you think. I'm more into tanks but a deuce would be great. A 1/35 tank with a couple 1/72 deuces supporting it, even some other stuff around would be neat.

I ordered a model kit from a hobby shop last year and it was around $15-$20 dollars.It's made by Academy and the stock # is 13410 with an 8000# below it.It's not a WW2 deuce but a more modern M35. It is 1/72nd scale. It also says on the front of the box that it is an accurate reproduction of a cargo truck used by the U.S. Armed Forces and Alliances. It's not a bad model at all, it's a pretty accurate reproduction.

Forgot I ordered this model last year. Left it in the 5th wheel when we were snowbirding. I'll try and find my receipt and see who I ordered it fromf. PorschTech911 thanks for your post' The stock # is 13410 and it's an Academy model, 172nd scale. Hope this helps everyone. The 1/35 scale models off a regular duece are alost non-existent and when you find them on the internet are very pricey. Hope this helps everybody.

Just doin what I can to help. I'm in need of an accurate 1/35th scale King Tiger. If anyone has a link lemme know. There is a guy on YouTube who builds drivable 2/5th scale tanks with complete walkthrough. Very nice guy.

Check out his detailed videos. The guy is amazing.... He offered to coach me through building the King Tiger. I might take him up on it if I find a job here in MO.

I built the 1/72 kit. I think it was some kind of cruel joke because the parts were so miniscule that my big ape hanger hands broke or lost half of the parts. My wife and daughter got a kick out of watching me struggle with it.

I'll look for a King Tiger around here! Will get back sometime this week. May be able to help you
