Powered by a 104 hp drivetrain capable of navigating unforgiving combat terrain, the CCKW 353 long-wheelbase variant served across every Allied theater of operations, continuing under French and European service long after the Liberation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;\"\u003eHeller's 1:35 scale kit captures the mechanical character of this logistics legend across 226 detailed plastic parts.
