1:35 Soviet 2t Truck AAA Type w/Field Kitchen

Soviet 2t AAA truck with a field kitchen 1:35 (Miniart)

Injection-molded plastic kit of the Soviet three-axle truck with a payload of 2 tons (the AAA type) together with a field kitchen, in 1:35 scale. The combination of a vehicle and rear-area equipment lets you build a striking scene from the supply lines. The box holds the plastic parts, photo-etched items, decals and the instructions; the manufacturer is Miniart.

The real subject

The Soviet three-axle AAA truck was derived from the two-axle type by adding a second driven rear axle, which produced a cross-country vehicle with a 6x4 drive layout. In the Second World War it served to carry cargo and also as a chassis for special bodies. The field kitchen provided meals for units in the field.

Building and painting tips

Assemble and paint the chassis, the engine and the cab in the order given in the instructions. Use thin plastic cement for the joins and bond the photo-etched parts with super glue. We recommend a primer, an airbrush and weathering — dust and mud effects on the tires and on the chassis. Use the field kitchen and the cargo as the focal point of the diorama.
