Pendraken 10mm World War II

American - 2 1/2-ton Truck

World War II (1939 to 1945), was the largest conflict the world has ever seen. It involved countries from every continent with land battles taking place in Europe, Asia and Africa. Different theatres were active at different times and involved different combatants, with Germany, Italy, Romania, Hungary and Japan forming the Axis Powers, and Great Britain, the Soviet Union, the United States, alongside France, Poland, and Canada forming the Allied Powers.

The main theatres of operation include Western Europe (1939-1941), the Eastern Front (1941-1945), North Africa (1940-1943), Western Europe (1943-1945) and the Far East (1940-1945). This period is probably the most popular in historical wargaming and Pendraken offers one of the largest selections of WWII products in 10mm scale, covering all major and most minor nations.

In 1939-1940 the US Army Ordnance Corps was developing ​2-1/2-ton (5,000 lb) load-rated 6×6 tactical trucks that could operate off-road in all weather. General Motors, already supplying modified commercial trucks to the Army, modified the 1939 ACKWX – built for the French Army – into the CCKW. The CCKW provided a platform for the widest range of bodies on any U.S. military vehicle, with the 12 ft (3.7 m) cargo version being the most common. Standard cargo models had beds with fixed sides and a drop tailgate, as well as folding troop seats. A standard rectangular van configuration was used in communications, medical, workshop, and many other specialty roles.

The "Deuce-and-a-half" was the prime mover for 105mm guns.

The name CCKW comes from GMC model nomenclature:

  • "C", designed in 1941
  • "C", conventional cab
  • "K", all-wheel drive
  • "W", dual rear axles
  • "X", experimental chassis / non-standard wheelbase (first 13,188 units)
