Cheers Rick .Thought that as you've done plenty of German , they would be perfect.



Plenty of versions to choose from. Quite like the one above :smiling:

Those early Zis. Looks a lot like early 30s Autocar trucks. And if you want to do a rail thing I like that second pic but I also like the first better with that trailer.That second one with the rail car is really neat and it would be very different from the main steam of train stuff posted here just a thought Rick

[JR]

Well spotted Lee.


The ZIS-5 (Russian: ЗиС-5) was a 4x2 Soviet truck produced by Moscow ZIS factory from October 1933 on. It was an almost identical copy of the American Autocar Dispatch Model SA truck.



In 1931 Moscow Avtomobilnoe Moskovskoe Obshchestvo (AMO, Russian Автомобильное Московское Общество (АМО) — Moscow Automotive Enterprise) truck plant was re-equipped and expanded with the help of the American A.J. Brandt Co., and began to produce a new truck with designation of AMO-2. AMO-2 was intended as a replacement of the previous AMO-F15, the first Soviet truck ever built (it was a copy of the Italian Fiat F-15).

Soon AMO-2 was improved, and new models AMO-3 and AMO-4 appeared. In 1933 AMO was rebuilt again and renamed into Factory No. 2 Zavod Imeni Stalina (or Plant of Stalin's Name, abbreviated in ZIS or ZiS) and in Summer first prototypes of the new ZIS-5 appeared.

Sorry Rick jumping in on your thread.

Thanks for the input guys I shall take it under advisement. Rick H. :nerd:

[Steve Jones]

An awesome build Rick. Worthy of your collection with out a doubt. Good luck with the next project

[Mini Me]

Thank you Mr. Jones for the fine compliment. I believe JR has me convinced I need to do a "Rooskie" truck, so I have pulled out a couple from the stash and have started researching build photos on my favorite WW2 History site. Thanks again for stopping by :smiling:

If it's a ruskie truck then four round tables and a plank of wood should do it. Oh, and we must not forget that green stuff they put on their vehicles either LOL

No comment, unless you consider that the T34 WAS THE FORERUNNER OF ALL MODERN ARMOUR.

I suspect the 4BO may end up being covered with Panzer Grey......we shall have to see how this goes. Rick H.

[Mini Me]

Thanks Jim, yes, I agree. Over all length is more than 70 feet. Must have been fun out on the Russian Steppes trying to herd this beast around. :thumb2:
