Scale modelling the GAZ-66: background and benefits

The GAZ-66 is renowned for its utilitarian 4x4 layout and straightforward service life, making it a favourite subject among enthusiasts of military transport vehicles. Its uncomplicated lines and functional design translate well into scale form for accurate reproduction.

Trumpeter's 1/35 kit offers a detailed assembly experience of the GAZ-66. The Trumpeter 01016 set comprises over 420 components, including a slide-mould cab and a comprehensive drivetrain package with engine, gearbox and suspension pieces to faithfully represent the real vehicle.

Detailing elements and presentation options

Included in the kit are hollow rubber tyres with period-correct tread patterns, plus transparent parts for windscreen and side windows to boost realism. A set of photo-etched parts is provided to sharpen fine details, producing a model that stands up well in display cases or within a period diorama.
