I'm starting another thread with workshop. This time something unusual for most of you - Star 66, a truck which was designed and produced in Poland from 1958 to 1965. I used to drive Star 66 since 1966 when I entered the army, to 1968.
I have a lot of good memories with this truck - that's why it has a very special meaning for me. One of my most interesting experiences was teaching NVA soldiers how to drive these trucks(it was in 1968)(North Vietnam was sending some of their soldiers for trainings to Poland). They were worst drivers I ever met! :).
Stars 66 were also send to Vietnam but in small numbers and without spare parts. It was a good all-terrain 6x6 truck but it required much more care than russian counterparts so in war conditions they suffered malfunctions.
Model is the Mały Modelarz(MM), scale 1/25
I'm planning to recreate one of the particular Stars I used to drive in PPA. I scanned original for a better quality. It's really old and badly designed model. My grandson will paint it, as I'm not the greatest painter. I'm gonna make only initial painting on some more hidden parts.
