Fun model to put together
Very detailed model. Pieces fit together very nicely. Lots of extras for added realism along with different configurations...so you can put together the same model multiple times and have a completely different vehicle. The only thing I have against it, and I have ran into the same problem with other Tamiya models, is that some of the parts are extremely delicate. So you have to be very careful when handling the sprues and removing these delicate parts for assembly or you can end up breaking them. Other than that I have no complaints.
Tamiya does it better.
Another one of those kits I got while in elementary school. Believe it was a Monogram kit. Sixty years later I'm building the same truck but by Tamiya. If my memory serves me right this kit is much better than the one long ago. This is a great kit. No problems with anything, even getting the driver into the vehicle was pretty easy. Will work on putting on a canvas cover if I ever get around to making a diorama. Right now too busy making models.
Tamiya Quality
This US 2.5 Ton 6x6 Cargo Truck is another example of the high quality models that Tamiya offers. The excellent casting and fit of the parts made this kit a pleasure to build. And as I expected, Tamiya's instructions are easy to follow. There are a couple of options with the configuration and decaling - so that's a nice touch. In addition, I added items from Tamiya's Allied Accessory Kit and was quite pleased with the end result.
Great Replica
Building this model presented me with a few challenges overall the detail is excellent. the way the model came together as it was built was perfect had no issues with building or painting this model. the best thing I can recomend is to buy two of these trucks and keep one the original, and add the 6x6 cargo truck accessory set to the other. Both truck are just superb. this is another quality kit from Tamiya.
Good Kit - Truck is Lackluster
By: Tommy
The kit itself is good, but the actual truck that the kit represents is pretty meh, which makes the kit kind of meh. It's not a good standalone kit and won't turn any heads. For the same price, there are better Tamiya tank kits for the same price. Otherwise, it has the good Tamiya quality, but it's actually slightly worse. There is some flash on more noticeable parts, but nothing that can't be dealt with.
GMC 2.5 Ton 6x6 Cargo Truck
By: chriscovert1
Great replica. A lot of flat surface to flat surface fitting. I had to use some putty around the fenders. Concur with the comment about delicate parts. Be very careful when taking parts of sprues. Lost a star because there wasn't an option for the hard top model with the .50 cal machine gun. All of the trucks from my father's AAA battalion had the hard to and machine guns.
Great Kit
By: illiniteach29
Another great Tamiya vehicle kit. Has parts for a couple different variations. Everything went together nice and easy with great fits right out of the box. Only down side was that there were not as many accessories as you normally find standard with Tamiya's kits. There is a separate kit that can be used to fill up the truck, but it still looks great without it.
Fun
By: Al (Mahopac. NY)
Building this replica of a 2.5 ton cargo truck was fun. The detail and engine assembly were highly accurate and one you paint and add a few accessories it almost appeared to come to life. For extra authenticity it can be turned into a transport truck by purchasing additional soldiers.
Tamiya U.S. 2.5 Ton 6X6 Cargo Truck 1/35 Scale
By: GMBregoli
This kit by Tamiya is over 20 years old but it will hold up very well against modern kits of it's type
and scale. The fit and detail is very good even has an engine to detail if you choose.
I highly recommended this kit for a stand alone or diorama piece.

US 2.5 Ton 6x6 Cargo Truck
I didn't realize that this kit was for WW 2 and I was really hoping that I could use it for Vietnam which I am going to still do.
Another quality kit by Tamiya
Typical Tamiya high quality and fit. Highly recommend getting the accessory set to make it an even more interesting vehicle.
