Hobby Boss 83836 1/35 Soviet GAZ-AA Model Truck Kit  [HB-83836]

Overview of the GAZ-AA in Scale

The GAZ-AA was adapted from the Ford Model AA and served as a versatile logistics vehicle for the Red Army from 1932 until about 1942. Fitted with a four-cylinder 40 HP engine the truck could reach up to 70 km/h and was employed for resupply, troop movement and casualty evacuation. In conflict the chassis was sometimes armed with items like a 25-mm AA cannon or multiple Maxim machine guns.

Detailing and Kit Composition

This 1/35 kit from Hobby Boss reproduces the GAZ-AA using over 230 moulded parts to capture fine detail. The set includes rubber tyres and photo-etched brass pieces to sharpen scale features. The assembled model measures around 149.6mm long and 56mm wide, reflecting accurate proportions.

Practical Building Advice and Presentation

Assembly rewards care when working with small assemblies and etched items. Clear parts and updated tooling improve accuracy for windows and panels. A finished model provides a faithful representation of period engineering and looks strong on display or in a vignette.
