OK then,
lets go back a little lit in history of plastic model in 1/35!
There once was made a M34 by Monogam, of which I have a built one in US Army, two I modified to versions of the Bundeswehr, one or two in the box left. These forms later were taken over by Revel, of which I also own a kit.
Modificaton to a M35 is relatively simple: Smaller wheels anf a modified cargo box.
Acadamy has a M35 in its program.
And I think there is from AFV club a model available.
Once upon the time there was a plastic model kit maker called Renwal (US)which made so called blue print models. However, the quality was allready in the seventies considered to be poor. They made a M62. These forms later go to Revel. They published them as History Makers. I built one as M62, modified one to become a M249 and one to a M135 and still have 2 in stock.
Deuces from WWII as the CCKW are availeable basically from Italeri, with Timken split axle and standard body.
Tomy in Japan once made an egar beaver with banjo axles. But these forms once disapeared with a sinking ship in the Atlantic. And once Heller made a 2 1/2 ton CCKW 353 modell (by the way the best ever on the market) with Timken axles, but this is not available any more since about 25 years. But I still have one.
The DUKW 353 is available as a model from Italerie. It is a good one, seems not only to be made from drawing, however they might have checked an original one.
That is it.
