About product

GMC 353 Series Cargo Truck 1:72 — a PST kit

An injection-molded plastic kit of the American medium-heavy GMC 353 series truck in the cargo version, in 1:72 scale from PST. The box states both letter designations of the series, that is the form with all-wheel drive and the version with only the rear axle group driven, so confirm the possible build options in the instructions. The model suits figures and vehicles of the same scale.

The real subject

Trucks of the GMC 353 series were among the most widespread machines of the Second World War and became a symbol of Allied supply. They carried freight and troops, towed artillery, and their chassis were used for dozens of special bodies from tankers to workshop vehicles and rocket launchers. Alongside the better known all-wheel-drive version there was also a variant with only the rear axle group driven, intended more for surfaced roads and for the rear areas. Vehicles of the 353 series ran on every front and a large share of them reached the Red Army as well.

Building and painting tips

Go through the instructions first to see which chassis variant you are building, and sort the parts out. Dry-fit the frame and the axles so that the vehicle stands level on all its wheels. Paint the cab and the cargo bed before joining them, and finish the instrument panel with a brush. Lay a filler primer under the olive shade, lift the edges with a lighter tone and pull the engraved seams of the bed out with a dark wash. Build the dust on the fenders and the wheels with pigment from below and do not overdo it.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of Allied trucks in 1:72
  • Builders of supply and movement dioramas
  • Modelers who want a basis for special bodies
  • Moderately advanced builders, because of the small chassis parts

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

One belongs to the form with all-wheel drive, the other to the version with only the rear axle group driven. Which of them can be built from the package is confirmed by the instructions.

The manufacturer does not break it down. Check the contents of the package on the box and in the instructions.

Yes, in 1:72 scale it matches common figures and vehicles, so it can be placed in a column or a supply scene.

More for a moderately advanced modeler. The chassis and wheel parts are small and call for a sharp scalpel and patience.
