NeulingAn unspectacular build with excellent paintwork and weathering. Nothing overdone. That´s it!
BohrmannFully agree with @Neuling. I like the weathering of the wheels and the mud under the fender of the front wheel. Curious about how you did this
MarkThank you all for your comments and liking! @Bohrmann, I've used VMS pigments, VMS alkyd binders and VMS universal weathering carrier.

The CCKW water tanker variant was specifically designed to transport and deliver water in support of military operations. It featured a specialized tank mounted on the cargo bed of the truck, allowing it to carry and distribute large quantities of water to troops in the field.
These water tankers played a crucial role in providing potable water for drinking, cooking, and other essential purposes to soldiers deployed in various theaters of war. They were often used in conjunction with water purification units to ensure a clean and safe water supply for military personnel.
The CCKW water tanker had a capacity of approximately 750 to 1,000 gallons (2,800 to 3,800 liters) of water, depending on the specific model and modifications. It featured a pump system and hoses to facilitate the distribution of water.
Overall, the CCKW water tanker was an important logistical asset during World War II, enabling military forces to maintain hydration and support the operational needs of troops in the field.
