I am putting together a old WWII 2 1/2 ton GMC and had a few questions related to modeling this guy.
Where can I find any more realistic driver than the stock Tamiya kit?
Are there any good am decal or transfer sheets?

Hobby Fan and a few other resin figure manufacterers have suitable replacement drivers. Archer transfers should be able to supply new decals but, to my knowledge, there is not a replacement sheet just for the GMC.

Like Cliff said, several AM manufacturers have released suitable figures like Masters Productions : one figure set (#35001) 2-figure set (#35002)
or Warriors :
Scale Model Accessories has released a set of dry transfer decals called "US Truck marking decal set" (#SMAP046) that could be worth a look (if I may say so, as there's no product picture on the site ) http://www.scalemodelaccessories.co.uk

Thanks for the help guys! All of those look great and should fit the bill nicely. Now I just have to make up my mind which to go with!
