About product

The American M1008 military pickup in 1:35 scale

This kit from the AK Interactive brand captures the cargo version of the M1008 with benches for troops. In the box are over one hundred and fifty injection-molded plastic parts, photo-etched sheet, masks for the glazing and printed cartons with field rations. The chassis and the cab both have a worked-out interior, the front wheels can be assembled turned, the tailgate is movable and the benches can be built folded as well as set out. The decals cover five machines: two of the US Army, two of the Navy and one in service with the peacekeeping forces in the Balkans.

The real subject

The M1008 came out of the CUCV program, with which the US Army replaced its older light off-road vehicles with production machinery in the 1980s. The vehicle is based on a civilian Chevrolet range and from 1983 to 1987, together with its sister versions, almost seventy-five thousand of them were built. Besides the cargo M1008, the family included the M1009 utility, the M1010 ambulance and container carriers. The vehicles served in the Persian Gulf, in Somalia and in Bosnia, and a number of them later entered the inventory of allies.

Building and painting

Finish and paint the frame, the axles and the inside of the cab before you close the body up. Degrease the photo-etched parts before gluing. The enclosed masks make the work on the glazing simpler. The camouflage will take a single-color green as well as a three-color pattern, and the vehicle suits a restrained patina of dust on the fenders and under the bumper.

Who the kit is for

  • modelers of modern American vehicles,
  • builders of dioramas from the 1990s,
  • collectors of light vehicles in 1:35,
  • more experienced beginners who want to try photo-etch.

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and other accessories are not included in the package.

FAQ

Yes, photo-etched sheet and masks for the windows are enclosed. Besides that, the box holds printed cartons with field rations.

Five. Two vehicles of the US Army, two of the Navy and one in the colors of the peacekeeping forces in the Balkans.

It is a new injection tooling released by this brand, not a rebox of another maker's kit.

With basic experience, yes. The photo-etch and the masks call for patience, but the main structure is straightforward.
