About product

Fire tanker on the ZiS chassis 1:72 — a PST kit

An injection-molded plastic kit of a Soviet fire tanker built on a truck chassis of the ZiS series, in 1:72 scale from the manufacturer PST. The packaging does not spell out the exact version of the chassis or the designation of the fire-fighting body, so check them against the instructions in the box. It is a utility vehicle, not combat equipment.

The real subject

Trucks of the ZiS series were among the most widespread Soviet three-ton vehicles of the 1930s and 1940s. Their chassis served dozens of utility bodies, from tankers and ambulances to workshop and fire-fighting vehicles. Fire tankers on this chassis carried a water tank, a pump and equipment for firefighting, and they served in municipal as well as military units. They stayed in Soviet fire service long after the end of the war and were only gradually replaced by the newer truck types of the 1950s.

Building and painting tips

Cut the small parts off with a sharp scalpel and sand the flash down with fine paper; with trucks in 1:72 it is worth dry-fitting the frame and the axles. Paint the cab and the body separately and glue them together only after spraying, as that gives you better access to the detail. The red finish of fire-fighting vehicles stands out over a light filler primer. Hoses, brass fittings and lamps only need to be picked out with a brush. Finish with a fine dust on the tires and the fenders.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of Soviet trucks and utility vehicles in 1:72
  • Builders of dioramas with emergency and rescue equipment
  • Modelers looking for an unusual accessory for military scenes
  • More experienced builders, because of the small parts of the body

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
