Vietnam Vet67 Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) Scale Model Kit of the Week: GAZ-M1, aka the Soviet Model B Ford NO MENTION OF WHAT ENGINE COMES IN THIS KIT, BUT IT COULD BE A CHRYSLER 218 FLATHEAD SIX FEBRUARY 10, 2017 SHARE Facebook Tweet Pinterest Email During the 1930s, the Gorkovsky Avtomobilny Zavod vehicle manufacturer in the Soviet Union arranged with the Ford Motor Company to build Model As under license. By 1936, GAZ had also licensed the Model B Ford, and more than 60,000 were produced and called GAZ-M1s. These served with distinction as military vehicles during the Great Patriotic War (aka World War II), and many were built with Chrysler flathead six-cylinder engines. Clearly, the GAZ-M1 was an important piece of history, so it's good that Zvezda makes a 1:35-scale plastic scale model kit, which is available on eBay for a reasonable price.

Atmobil Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Cool kit, sadly it is in 1:35 scale and not 1:25. I built one like that in 1:72 some years agoOn this one I went old school and brush painted everything, in 1:72 scale it is onlu like an inch long so it was very fiddly. The wentwindows on the front doors are PE parts.
