Hobby Boss 83845 1/35 ZIS-151 WWII Soviet Truck Kit  [HB-83845]

Hobby Boss 83845 - 1/35 Scale ZIS-151 WWII Truck Kit

The Hobby Boss 83845 kit recreates the Russian ZIS-151, a key post-WWII Soviet military truck used across a range of roles. The model reflects the vehicle that replaced the Studebaker US6 in Soviet service and served as the platform for systems such as the BM-13 Katyusha rocket launcher.

Service History and Legacy

Manufactured between 1947 and 1965 at the factory originally named Zavod imeni Stalina and later Zavod imeni Likhacheva, the ZIS-151 became a backbone of Soviet logistics. Tens of thousands were built to fulfil transport and support roles, and the later ZIL-157 followed with design updates like a different grille and single rear wheels.

Build Details and Experience

This 1/35 kit contains over 250 parts and delivers a satisfying assembly process for seasoned modellers. The set includes a multi-slide moulded cab and photo-etched details that elevate realism, while rubber tyres add authentic texture to the finished model.
