Spotlight Review

 
"Good Kit - Truck is Lackluster"
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.

"Great Replica"
JeremyRichard90 (Hampton, Virginia)
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.

 
"GMC 2.5 Ton 6x6 Cargo Truck"

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.

 
"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.
