This truck is so wrong, it is pathetic and a super waste of money.

This Tin Art outfit makes other models, Dodges and Jeeps in 1/16 and they all are crap.

On the CCKW -
Rear tires are single tires, should be doubles.
Cab roof is way off, angles off.
Front is all wrong.
Rear is way off.
Canvas top seems to be cut in half with the back half tied over the wood with what looks like a 6" thick rope. Canvas cargo top was one piece.

Everything I see is off. We could use a CCKW in 1/18 or 1/16 but this ain't it. I'll bet these guys made this CCKW to be 1/16 but found it too small for 1/16 and decided to call it 1/18.

I saw this add a few weeks ago and i ask the seller the dimensions.He contact me the same day and the high measure was a little more taller than my Indiana Jones German truck.I have a feeling that it may be 1/16. I can not not remember the high measure that he told me.I am considering seriously to get the true heroes truck to make a custom U.S. truck using the lower half of the 21st century Dodge truck.
I know the true heros truck looks very toyish,but so is the Indiana Jones German troop car and yet some have manage to make a decent looking model.

Length with winch - 22' 6"
Height to top of bows - 9' 2"

If that helps.

This maker Tin Art makes 1/16 horrible military vehicle models.
