Considering
how harsh Russian winters are, and a land with few roads to most
of the remote locations, it's no wonder the Soviets build such
massive heavy duty trucks.
During
WWII, with tooling purchased from Ford here in the states, they
srated making the GAZ trucks, such as the AAA-Models. That's why
they look a lot like early Ford trucks, because essentially, they're
made with similar manufacturing tooling.
Today
the Soviets still make larger and more modern series GAZ trucks,
as well as their ZIL line of heavy duty vehicles.
These
make great models to build, and their available from your favorite
model companies, such as Italeri, Trumpeter, Miniart, Bronco models,
Zvezda, and many more.
Sometimes
you will see an older GAZ truck with only one headlight. It's
not a mistake. That's accurate. Materials were hard to come by,
and to save resources, only one headlight was used in many cases.
Besides,
it's unlikely the light would be used at night unless it was an
emergency. Otherwise you might be be shot up by German forces
who could spot you from miles away.
Many
parts of the trucks were also made from wood, due to the lack
of steel.
Many
unusual trucks and machines came out of Germany during the wars.
During WWII, some were made by KRUPP, some Mercedes, Ferdinand
Porsche, and even Ford (Once the Germans had taken over their
factories).
From
4 wheels, to six or eight. Even tanks treads. Nothing was off
limits, as long as it could forward the troops and the direction
of the war effort.
Some
were failures, doomed from the start. But some became durable
machines and lasted through the entire war, and were made by the
thousands.
In
modern times we get the Mercedes Unimogs, and Faun trucks, to
carry on the legacy of German engineering.
Here
are some model truck kits from all the big companies, like Trumpeter,
ICM, Revell, AFV Club, Italeri, Tamiya, and many more. Most in
1:35 scale to add to your growing military model collection.
