Now, there has been a need for a number of years for a good, accurate model of the Soviet Workhorse - the GAZ AAA in 1/35th Scale. Now, MiniArt Ltd. have announced that, plus the GAZ MM.

More precisely, one kit is a GAZ-AAA (three-axle truck) and the other is a GAZ-MM . The GAZ-MM is a two-axle, simplified for wartime production version of the GAZ-AA (which is a copy of the Ford AA). IIRC it has flat-sheet fenders to minimize production steps, one headlight, and no front brakes.

Both, however, are absolutely standard Red Army equipment. The paint is the only thing that makes the AAA a kraut truck.

Thanks Danny, I was running to get this posted and didn't pay the attention I should have! Doh!
