Hobby Boss 83845 - 1/35 ZIS-151 WWII Truck Assembly Kit

The Hobby Boss 83845 kit presents a faithful 1/35 rendition of the Russian ZIS-151, a versatile Soviet truck used widely after World War II. The model mirrors the vehicle that replaced the Studebaker US6 and was adapted for roles such as mounting BM-13 Katyusha rocket launchers.

Production Background and Evolution

Built from 1947 to 1965 at Automotive Factory No. 2, initially called Zavod imeni Stalina and later Zavod imeni Likhacheva, the ZIS-151 formed an essential part of Soviet transport fleets. Its successor, the ZIL-157, introduced visual and mechanical revisions including a new grille and single rear wheels.

Assembly Notes and Detail

This 1/35 scale kit contains over 250 parts and provides a rewarding build for experienced modellers. It includes a multi-slide moulded cab and photo-etched components to capture fine detail, while the rubber tyres help the finished model look authentic.
