GMC CCW/CCKW 353 & Studebaker US6 in 1/72 scale
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. 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.
