The Gorkiy Automobile Factory was established in 1932 as a joint venture between Ford Motor Company and the Soviet Union. Established in Nizhny Novgorod, GAZ (Gorkovskiy Avtomobilnij Zavod) produced a number of Ford designs before modifying those designs to meet Soviet Army requirements. TheåÊGAZ-AA was based upon the Ford Model A light truck and by adding an additional axle and heavier suspension, thisåÊrendered the GAZ-AAA 2+ ton truck. This GAZ-AAA wasåÊa 4x6 that entered production inåÊthe mid-1930s and continued through the early 1940s. This vehicle, like many others, were pressed into wartime service with the Soviet Army in theåÊGreat Patriotic War (World War II) and captured examples were likewise put to work in the Wehrmacht.
Among the features and options of the kit:
- Highly detailed chassis and suspension
- Highly detailed engine and drive train
- Detailed engine compartment (right down to the hoses)
- Hood can be positioned closed, partially open, or fully open
- Cab doors can be positioned open or closed
- Detailed pump locker
- Detailed valve and hose lockers
- Positionable locker doors
- Rear wheel tracks included - can be posted on wheels or stowed on rear fenders
Markings are provided for four refuelers in Soviet Army service circa 1941-44. Painting instructions are provided using MIG paint colors which are fine for those that use MIG paints. MiniArt used to provide painting instructions for many different paint brands and it would be nice to see MiniArt return to that solution for those modelers that do not have or do not use MIG paints.
