Hello all,

If you know, that second most popular type of car use(except Polski FIAT and Ursus trucks) by Polish Army in 1939 there was exactly Chevrolet?

In pre-war Poland Chevrolet was popular and enough general mark. Also Polish Army was interested cars and Chevrolet trucks.
According to orders, from start 1939 year, begin flowing in regular supplies of vehicles for units. They were most general in units of sappers and armoured battalions. For Polish Army was produced Chevrolet 157 mainly.
Here some photos of Chevrolets in Polish Campaign 1939:





I count, that this theme will interest somebody
In accordance with it, I have question:
If you know some model kits of Chevrolet 157 truck in 1/35 scale?
