E5 Gunnery Practice truck question

Post by Stevie G » Mon Oct 18, 2021 7:31 pm

Good Evening

I'm thinking of building a 1/72nd scale model of an E5 Gunnery Practice truck.

I'm building it in small scale for while there are two brand new 1/35th scale kits of the Chevy G506 available, there are not many 1/35 scale Bendix gun turrets available. In 1/72 there are several options for turrets but fewer for the truck.

My question is this: is the closed cab on the G506 the same as used on the GMC CCKW? The only difference that jumps out at me is the abbreviated row of louvers on the sides of the hood.

Any advice

Thanks

Steve

You could 3D print the turret in the correct scale and use it on the 1/35th scale kit?
