Producer  PST, Byelorussia
Packing Carton box with color picture on the top
Type of kit plastic injected kit /150 parts/
Quality All parts are well moulded as well as injected without flash of green and black plastic. Some parts include extractor marks. Both types are very similar. Only cabs seem to be slightly different at the first sight. Therefore both kits includes identical parts except cabs of course.

Universal chassis including also metal axes let you complete truck 6x6 or 4x6. Unfortunately the chassis is too much universal for Studebaker because according to my info this vehicle should have axletree different from GMC. Nevertheless I think that every skilled modeller is able to modify them to be correct enough. Parts of the body offers option to complete benches in composed or decomposed position. The tarp parts in also available. Cab interior as well as schematic engine looks very good. Unfortunately windshield frame is moulded as part of the cab so it will be very difficult to open it as it would be very impressive. Clear plastic parts for windows ”glassing” are not included.

Instruction sheet Clear graphic instruction sheet, painting guide a brief technical & historic info.
Decals GMC: 3 markings - USA, France and Russia

General Impression & Note Perfect kits of very attractive vehicles.

Especially Studebakers were produced practically only for export to Russia according to ”Lend & Lease” contract. GMCs were exported too especially to UK, France, Australia and also to Russia. Both types served in many countries for a long time after WW2.

PST offers now also rocket launcher BM-13 based on GMC&US6 and also tank BZ-35 based on US6.
