Studebaker US6 cargo truck - New Moulds!
This is a brand new moulding and not a re-issue of the old Cooperative Studebaker truck! There are 131 crisp injection moulded parts (including separate wheels and tyres!) plus a small decal sheet with markings for four trucks...Czech, Polish and two U.S. army. The kit offers the options of building US6 models U4, U7 or U8. Detail includes a separate engine, chassis, suspension, axles, drive shaft, fuel tank, winch etc. The one piece cab moulding has a separate bonnet/hood (so the engine can be 'on display') and while no clear parts are provided, there is a seat, steering wheel and gear stick, as well as side mounted rear view mirrors. The 'tray' has optional high or low sides with an optional 'awning' and bench seats. Also included in the kit are two paper clips...these are for attaching the wheels to the axles, by cutting off short lengths (from the paper clips)!

KV-9 - model 1942
PST 1/72 KV-9 heavy tank (limited edition)
Same chassis and hull as the others in the KV series, but with a slightly different turret (135mm armour plating) and a 122mm gun...only 10 were built. The kit has
158 cleanly moulded parts (plus a lot more that are not used), including link and length tracks. As with all PST kits, detail is good. No decals are included as this
version of the KV didn't carry markings.
KV-1C Model 1942-43
PST 1/72 KV-1C heavy tank
Over 1000 KV-1Cs were built. They had heavy front armour, a cast turret with walls of up to 120mm thick and a 76.2mm Zis-5 gun. The kit has over 180 cleanly
moulded parts (link and length tracks) and a set of decals with markings for four KV-1Cs.
PST 1/72 PzKpfw.1 753(r) (limited edition)
As the standard KV-1 ...however, the turret does have the typical raised German style cuppola and optional parts (small details...including a shorter gun barrel) for the PzKpfw 1a 753(r). In all there are 6 sprues of 228 parts (even more that don't get used!) and a decal sheet with markings for 1x Pz.1 753(r) and 2x Pz.1a 753(r)s. Note...this version is a once only 'limited' run.

Pz.Kpfw. 754(r) PST 1/72 PzKpfw 754(r) heavy tank (limited edition)
Another of the 'captured' KV tanks, used by the Germans and given the PzKpfw designation...the 754(r) was a KV-2 with a massive turret housing a 152mm M-10 gun (it was also fitted with four machine guns). The kit has over 164 parts that are used plus a lot more that aren't (used). The decal sheet has markings for just one tank.

The KV-T is essentially a KV-85 without the turret. The kit has 144 parts, including the cover (with hatches) for the 'hole' left by the removal of the turret. Although tow cables are shown, you have to make them yourself! No decals are included because the KV-T didn't carry markings.
JS-2T - Tractor
PST 1/72 IS-2MT armoured tow tractor (limited edition)
This was an IS-2 with the turret removed. The kit is the same as the KV-T but with the IS-2 chassis and hull...there are 154 cleanly moulded parts.

GMC BM-13 'Katyusha'
Idential to the Studebaker BM-13N kit...the only difference is you use the GMC style mudguards. Decals for one Soviet vehicle.

T-54 and T55
Both kits are 'nearly' identical (the T-54 has different style road wheels to the T-55) ...while the parts layout in the instructions show different turrets and guns, both types are included in both kits. As far as mouldings go, the PST kits are made from metal moulds so the parts are far cleaner and crisper than those in the 'short run' ACE/SIGA T-55 kits...and the detail is far sharper...especially on the 'link and length' tracks! However, the two hatches in the turrets of the PST kits are much smaller than those in the ACE/SIGA kits...so small in fact, it would be difficult for a 1/72 crewman to get in and out! In all, the PST kits have 183 injection moulded parts in green and black (tracks) plastic...about the same number of parts as the ACE/SIGA kits...so the break down is very similar, with lots of upper hull accessories including ammo boxes, tool boxes, shovel, spare tracks, tow cables etc. Both the T-54 and T-55 come with markings for several Soviet tanks but the instructions fail to say where they go and what units they represent (this is the one area where the SIGA kit is superior...far better decal options and instructions!).

Military vehicles that aren't always green...and even better...they are sometimes red! All 4 PST Fire engines were used by the Soviet airforce, before, during and after WW2.
PZM-2 (ZIS-6)
Based on the ZIS-6, duel rear axle truck, the rear tray has been replaced with a water tank and two side and one rear mounted, tool boxes. On top of the tank are mounted ladders and hoses and at the rear is a hose reel and water pump. Other 'PZM' additions to the basic truck kit including a fire bell and a small 'tray' that fits between the cabin and the water tank.

S-300 PMU 'mobile air defence missile launcher'
This is a massive kit for PST to have produced, given the limitations of their injection moulding machines and they have managed to do it by keeping the sprues small (same size as in all their other kits)...which means a lot of them...12 in fact, in three separate bags, making a total of over 220 parts (there are no decals because there are no markings on the vehicle). The 24 stage intruction layout is fairly stright forward starting with the chassis assembly, which is rather complex given this is an all wheel drive vehicle. The missile lauching unit is also rather comple given that it is designed to be moveable. Each of the four launching tubes comes with a separate, six part missile which you don't see once inside (the lauching 'tubes'). The cabin (yes, clear injection moulded windows are supplied!) is well detailed inside with a separate, optional position door...so you can look in. The four support jacks (show on the box top) for use when missiles are to be fired...are supplied as separate units. The large (A4 size), six page instruction sheet has a five view camouflage painting guide on the back page. And...to top it off...the price makes it a bargin!

Ford 6 Truck model 1943
As suspected, this is a re-working of the Studebaker US-6/GMC truck kits, with a new cab and one new sprue with a new chassis, single rear axle, cabin interior etc. In all there are 104 (a number of them are not used) crisp, clean injection moulded parts (no clear windows) and a set of decals with markings for six trucks... U.S. Navy, RAF, unidentified U.K. vehicle, Polish army and 2x Soviet. Underside detail is excellent with separate chassis, axles, drive shafts, exhaust, etc. but there's no engine...just a sump and transmission moulded onto the chassis. Cabin detail consists of a bench seat, steering wheel and gear stick. The 'wooden' sided rear tray comes with an optional top (annex).
Construction problems:
Just wanted to add some notes that might help by construction. This further clarifies the 'problems' encountered when making the PST Ford 6 1943.
On the mini-review you mention how PST have re-used certain parts from their Studebaker truck for the Ford. This creates certain construction problems while making the kit.
The PST instructions do not make it clear that some of the parts are Studebaker parts and DO NOT look like the Ford parts! The cab is the wrong shape and
the cargo bed is too high off the chassis.
Both these major issues have to rectified before the kit truly looks like a Ford!
Some changes need to be made and you have to consult good reference material about the Ford
All the best,Steve Beat (aka 'Kitnoob')

Conversion des BTR-50PK in das MinenRäumFahrzeug MRF 50PK der NVA. Anfang der 80er Jahre wurden 42 BTR-50PK in diese Varinate umgerüstet.
Dazu wurden Kontainer mit gestreckten Ladungen WLWD aus polnischer Produktion auf dem BTR-50PK installiert. WLWD ist die polnische Abkürzung für
gestreckte Ladung. Der Sprengstoff befand sich in einem flexiblen Schlauch.
Die Ladungen wurden mit einer kleinen Rakete (Booster) 250 Meter weit geschossen und detonierten im Minenfeld. Es konnte damit eine Gasse von 100 Meter
Tiefe und 5 - 6 Meter Breite geschaffen werden.

The S-125 (NATO: SA-3 Goa) is a low-altitude surface-to-air missile system developed, manufactured, and deployed by the Russians. Designed to track and destroy low-altitude targets such as aircraft, helicopters, and cruise missiles, the system has been proliferated to over 30 countries in recent years.
- (pictures from Network54.com) - (hull and tracks from T54 with new resin turret and metal barrel)
New release from Belorussian company named "Zebrano" (this is a multimedia branch of a better known PST company).
The 1/72 T-44M is a multimedia kit (with plastic chassis and body complete with resin turret and metal barrel and small parts) and the
quality is quite nice for this manufacturer.
T-44 was a lesser known Russian tank developed in 1943 as a replacement for the famous T-34 model, but due to war demands production started
only in early 1945 and this it did not reach the fronts. Yet, it was produced in significant numbers and production stopped only with the
introduction of the T-54 model. The chassis was used in many specialized vehicles.
T-44M was an improved model which was produced in larger quantity than the original T-44 model.
This is a strictly limited kit with production being limited to just one batch.

Essentially it's the old PST T-54 kit with a new resin turret for the T-54-2 variant (Not the earlier T-54-1 which is the m.1946 version) - probably a better option is to get the modeltrans T-54-2 turret and fit that to a Trumpeter T-54 hull - note that it's not that simple with the T-54-1 turret that Modeltrans sell, as the T-54-1 hull had various differences, including machine-gun pods on the fenders, so you'd need a new hull top as well as a turret, but that's another issue altogether)
This vehicle is in every Russian regiment which is armed with movable artillery, rockets, etc. It has a places for canteen, bedroom and combat compartment with BTR-70 turret.

The soviet bus GAZ-03-30 was designed in 1932 on the basis of GAZ-AA truck units and found wide application both in the civil service and in the Red Army. The civil version was designed for transportation of 17 passengers. An army bus was used as a headquarters, while he could have another configuration of the cabin and additional equipment for communication. The bus of this model was produced from 1933 to 1941.
Exterior of the GAZ-03-30 bus was supposed to be as follows:
- the roof and the sides over the waist were painted in light-yellow color
- the body below the waist, the hood, radiator cover, apron and wheels were painted in dark blue, dark green or dark red
- the wings - in black or body color below the waist
- the fenders and bumpers - in black
The ceiling, the walls and seats inside were papered leatherette.
The rest of the surface were covered by oil paint and varnish.
