Model Overview

This ready-made Artitec model reproduces a U.S. Army GMC CCKW-353 long-wheelbase 2½-ton 6×6 truck fitted with an enclosed mobile workshop body. The vehicle is hand-finished in Olive Drab with white registration and unit/vehicle markings, U.S. national-star insignia, and restrained operational weathering. Light dust, fading, and small areas of wear give it the appearance of a support vehicle in active wartime service.

The model captures the CCKW-353’s open cab, canvas cab roof, glazed windshield, vertical grille, hood louvers, protective headlight guards, side steps, three-axle chassis, and dual rear tires. Its specialized workshop body includes diamond-pattern ventilation grilles, side access panels, rear doors, exterior steps, roof detailing, marker lights, and other finely rendered fittings.

Vehicle History

The GMC CCKW-353 was the long-wheelbase version of the U.S. Army’s standard 2½-ton 6×6 truck. Its dependable drivetrain and cross-country capability allowed the platform to be adapted for cargo transport, maintenance, engineering, communications, and numerous other support duties during World War II.

Workshop-bodied CCKWs served as mobile maintenance facilities that could accompany operational units and perform repairs closer to the front. Their enclosed bodies provided protected working and storage space for tools, equipment, and replacement components, helping keep military vehicles and machinery operational during extended campaigns.

About Artitec Ready-Made Models

Artitec's Ready-Made models are handcrafted from high-quality resin and produced in limited runs. Each model is expertly preassembled, hand-painted, and often subtly weathered to recreate the appearance of a real vehicle in use. Because every model is finished by hand, small variations may occur, making each piece unique.

Artitec uses vacuum-cast resin to reproduce exceptionally fine, true-to-scale details that can be difficult to achieve with conventional manufacturing methods. Etched-brass parts are added where appropriate to capture delicate components and further enhance realism.

Each model is assembled, painted, and weathered by skilled specialists—a process requiring considerable time, precision, and experience. Artitec Ready-Made models are ideal for collectors seeking exceptional detail and realism without the time and effort required to build and finish a model kit.
