1/24 GAZ-A in German Service
ICM 1/24 GAZ-A in German Service is a plastic kit of the captured Soviet passenger car used by the Wehrmacht. The kit contains 201 parts. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
In the late 1920s the Soviet leadership decided to buy a modern car factory abroad together with licences for passenger cars and trucks. In May 1929 a government commission signed a contract with the Ford Motor Company for licence production of the Ford A car and the Ford AA truck. From February 1930 the vehicles were assembled in Moscow from imported American kits, and later production started at a new factory in Nizhny Novgorod.
The pattern was the Ford A Standard Phaeton with a folding soft top, which was poorly suited to local conditions. Even so, it was built in large numbers for several years, also reached Red Army units, and during the Second World War a number of the cars were captured and put into service by the Wehrmacht.
The ICM kit in 1/24 scale has 201 parts, and the finished model measures approximately 160 × 75 mm. The decal sheet provides German crosses and WH registration markings. The larger scale leaves room for careful work on the open body, and the model suits a display cabinet as well as a diorama set behind the Eastern Front. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
