| Producer | Giesbers Models, Holland |

| Quality | Both kits are designed in same way as very simple practically one piece kit. The body of the vehicle including interior and tracked chassis is cast as one big part. You have to remove only one massive sprue from this part and clear fine flash especially from chassis. The remaining parts are backs of the seats, headlight, tarp-roof and in the M29C also two rudders. All of these parts are usable without problem after clearing. |
| Instruction sheet | yes |
| Decals | no |
| General Impression | In spite of classic instructions are missing I think you can simply complete very nice models of both versions of know US tracked cargo carrier. Especially painting and finishing will be important. |
| Note |
Both versions produced by know US factory
Studebaker served in units of US Army and USMC in West Europe and Pacific during
second half of WW2. French army also used them during post WW2 conflict in
Indochina.
Main difference between types is that the M29C fully amphibious, it means is able to float. These kits are one of the results of modelling swap with Dutch colleague Hans Van Oerle. |
