1/35 GAZ-AA Soviet Army Truck

Description

Description

This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

While the US Army relied on its tough GMC CCKW truck to haul supplies to the front, the Soviets relied on the 1.5 ton capacity GAZ-AA “Polutorka” (one and a half in Russian) to haul theirs. First manufactured in 1932, the Polutorka would finish the war as the most produced truck in the world. It also became a legend along with the T-34 and Katysusha rocket launcher thanks to its stubborn ruggedness, ease of maintenance, and excellent all-terrain abilities. Zvezda’s kit of this Russian legend does it justice with crisp moldings and a nicely detailed engine. Tires are molded in black styrene. The simple decal sheet provides serial numbers for two vehicles.
