1:72 Polish Ursus Type A truck, early version

Ursus Type A, early version 1:72 (First to Fight)

This plastic kit in 1:72 scale from the Polish manufacturer First to Fight captures the Polish Ursus Type A truck in its early version. The model is intended to be assembled and painted by the builder, and the First to Fight line usually adds a historical booklet with information on the real vehicle.

The real subject

The Ursus Type A was a Polish truck built in the interwar period. It served in both civilian and military use and became one of the typical Polish vehicles of its day. The early version differed from the later ones in the design of some body and equipment details.

Building and painting tips

Cut the parts away with a sharp knife, check the fit dry and glue the plastic with thin model cement. Prime the model before painting and apply the paint in thin coats, ideally with an airbrush. The engraved lines benefit from a light wash, and for a civilian or a military finish choose the matching shades.

Who the model is for

• Collectors of Polish interwar and wartime vehicles in 1:72 scale
• Modelers interested in period trucks
• Builders of smaller dioramas

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
