AK Interactive 35031 M1008 Troop Carrier w/Tarp 1:35 Model Kit
The M1008 is the basic cargo truck variant of the first family of light military utility vehicles manufactured by General Motors since World War II. The first generation of GM’s vehicles developed under the CUCV (Commercial Utility Cargo Vehicle) program was basedon the civilian Chevrolet C/K series and, apart from the M1008 pickup, included the M1009 utility vehicle, M1010 ambulance, M1028 shelter carriers and M1031 chassis-cab model. Nearly 75000 vehicles were manufactured between 1983 and 1987, most of which were delivered to the US Army (68210); the reminder went to the USAAF (3578 vehicles), US Marine Corps (2973) and US Navy (504).
They served with the US forces around the world, participating in the Gulf War and United Nations operation in Somalia. Although their withdrawal from US forces started in 1994, several CUCV remained in service in the following years, being also used by the SFOR contingent in Bosnia in the second half of the 1990s or even in Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003. Many CUVS were also sold or donated to friendly countries such as Albania, Greece, Latvia or Lebanon.
The reference AK35031 represents the basic cargo truck version of the vehicle fitted with a tarpaulin cover for the cargo bed. The decal sheet contains markings for two US Army, one US Marine Corps, one US Navy, one Army National Guard and one Lebanese Army vehicle, each of them carrying a different overall color or camouflage pattern.

- Over 130 plastic parts.
