Hi all,

just a few pics of my Studebaker finished about 3 weeks ago. this is my first time takeing my own pics so they are not as good as i hoped. any and all comments welcome. hope you like it.




Thanks
Gary

Good job on , it looks nice. I like the weathering and general appearance. Did you replace the kit wheels/tires? I know on the initial releases the tread pattern was molded wrong. Yours look correct. I had heard they may have fixed them in later kits.

Hi Gino,

yes they are the kit tires. i got the kit from Squadron about two months ago. thx for the kind words.

Gary

Good deal. Can you do me a favor and take one pic straight on from the front and low so I can confirm that the tires were fixed? The issue was the points on the tread were across from eachother rather than staggered.

Like so:

As opposed to the way they should be:

I may have to get one, it looks really nice.

Hey Gino,

Give me a a few minutes. i have to make room to upload another pic.

ok here it is.

Gary - They have fixed them, good deal. Thanks for taking the pic.

Interesting. You can see how closely ZiL and Studebaker were related

The early boxing, with the Studebaker going Right & "Full Frame" pic, marked
" ICM Studebaker US6 WWII US Army Truck #35511 "
Is the one with the wrong tyres.

The later boxings are supposed to have corrected tyres, marked

" ICM 1/35 scale Injection moulded kit no.35513 Studebaker US6 U4 w/ Soviet Medical Personnel" with Medics in front of Right-facing truck
or
" Studebaker US6 U4 Truck 1:35 (ICM 35514) " with LEFT facing truck

have the corrected tyre treads. If you are buying off the web make sure the box number is listed. Guess which one I got!
