Hi guys!

I'm trying to find out a little about this vehicle, specifically so I can work out it's uses in model format.

I know very little about this soft skin expect that it is Czech and was used by the Czech military from the 50's-80's.

My question is if it ever saw service in Soviet Forces or Warsaw Pact?

Hi Jon

Looks like the Czech Army was the only user of that truck.
In case you need pics, you'll find some showing a T-805 under restoration here :

Here's a fan club website :

You can also translate the Czech T-805 Wikipedia page into English

Thanks!

I always see cool models and sometimes I just never know how to use them if I buy them!

I thought maybe it might be czech only. I saw the Hauler 1/48 kit and it got me thinking about diorama uses!
