Key Highlights of the 3D-WILD M105 DEUCE Kit

  • First-Ever Accurate 1/35 DEUCE: Fills a major gap in modern combat engineering vehicle (CEV) modeling, capturing the unique compact profile engineered to fit inside C-130 Hercules cargo holds.
  • Articulated Earthmoving Mechanics: The multi-axis front dozer blade and hydraulic lift cylinders can be displayed raised for road transport or lowered in active grading/entrenching configuration.
  • Turnkey Diorama Package: Including the dedicated support trailer and realistically posed crew figures saves modelers from hunting down scarce third-party figures or scratchbuilding engineering equipment.
  • Seamless 3D-Printed Detailing: Cab operator controls, protective rollover bars (ROPS), radiator mesh grilles, and exhaust manifolds are micro-cast without sprue attachment nubs or injection sink marks.

Frequently Asked Questions About the M105 DEUCE

What is the purpose of the military M105 DEUCE? Developed by Caterpillar for the U.S. Army, the M105 DEUCE is a high-speed, lightweight tracked earthmover designed to travel at convoy speeds (up to 35 mph / 56 km/h) and deploy via low-velocity airdrop from C-130 or C-17 aircraft to construct landing strips, defensive berms, and antitank ditches for airborne forces.
How do you prepare and glue 3D-WILD 3D-printed resin parts? Carefully remove supporting stems using a hobby saw or micro side cutters, wash the parts in warm soapy water to remove residual photopolymer dust, and assemble exclusively using Cyanoacrylate (CA / Super Glue). Traditional plastic cement will not bond resin.

 

Designed to support airborne and light infantry units with high-speed earthmoving and excavation capability, the M105 DEUCE is an iconic piece of modern US military engineering. 3D-WILD is delivering this unique subject as a comprehensive diorama-ready package, packaging the M105 vehicle alongside an M172-A1 lowbed trailer and a full squad of 5 US Army soldier figures in dynamic poses.
