A new model from US Model Mint
In the new schedule from Brooklin there is listed a 1952 Studebaker R-5 pick up. This will be available in February in two colour versions. It will use a modified cab unit from the currently available truck - smaller wheel arches, wheels,etc - and a new stepside truck bed. I made one of these years ago with a Ford F100 bed, lots of filler and plenty of bad language. It should make a nice addition to any model Studebaker diorama. A wrecker version would look good too, or even a Cantrell woody - I must have a think about these!

(PIC) Dick, John, I have one from Shrock. The chassis detail is amazing.
Its great to see USMM doing this. John, I can just imagine that your creative juices must be flowing at the prospects of the many possible model variations on this Studebaker!
Here's a great link to Shrock's site that shows the many versions they did:
