Miniart 1:35 Soviet 1.5t Truck w/M-4 Maxim AA Machine Gun (LW)

Details

The ZIS-5 was a Soviet multipurpose military truck from the Second World War. The first copies of this car appeared in the early 1930s, and mass production started in 1933 and lasted until 1958! The car was manufactured by the ZiS plants, currently UAZ and UralZiS. A single ZIS-5M engine with 73 HP was used as the drive.

The ZIS-5 was developed as one of the basic trucks of the Red Army in the 1930s. In order to shorten the research and development work and implement the production as quickly as possible, it was decided to copy the American Autokar CA truck almost 1 to 1. The car was very simple in design, but it was also easy to repair, service and generally had a fairly high reliability. During World War II, the ZIS-5, along with the GAZ-AA cart, was the main Soviet-made truck for use by the Red Army. Its importance and role began to diminish only with the launch of deliveries under the Lend-and-Lease program and the influx of American-made trucks. It is worth adding that at the beginning of the German-Soviet war, due to considerable problems with supply, the ZIS-5 cars were created with wooden cabs instead of metal ones. Such vehicles received the designation ZIS-5W. Based on the ZIS-5, several development versions were created, such as the half-track version (ZIS-42).
