About product

The GAZ-AAA truck with the 72-K anti-aircraft gun

The UM brand has joined two Soviet icons into one set: a light three-axle truck and the automatic anti-aircraft gun which was commonly mounted on its cargo bed during the war. The result is a rewarding item for a collection of rear-area equipment, the sort that is to be seen at exhibitions far less often than tanks.

The real subject in two parts

The GAZ-AAA was a three-axle adaptation of a licensed vehicle derived from the American Ford type. A load capacity of around a ton and a half and decent cross-country ability made it the most widespread chassis for the most varied bodies, from workshop vehicles to weapon carriers. The automatic gun in 25 mm caliber, designated 72-K and introduced in 1940, complemented the heavier anti-aircraft weapons at low altitudes and protected marching columns against attacks from a low level. The combination of the two machines was inexpensive, mobile and easy to use in the field.

Advice for painting

Spray the cab and the cargo bed before you seat the weapon, otherwise the lower surfaces are hard to reach. Soviet green comes across more convincingly when you lighten it on the hood and on the roof of the cab. Bring the wooden parts of the cargo bed to life with thin washes in a brown shade led along the length of the planks. Be sparing with the mud and keep it to the wheels and the wheel arches.

Who the set will please

  • collectors of Soviet rear-area and supply equipment
  • modelers looking for an unconventional subject for a display case
  • builders of scenes with the anti-aircraft defense of columns
  • those interested in small-caliber artillery

The set is intended to be glued together and sprayed; it contains neither chemicals nor tools.

Yes, the combination of the vehicle and the weapon offers an action on its own. Crates of ammunition, a tarpaulin and a crew in figures can be added.
