Trumpeter 01016 1/35 Russian GAZ-66 Military Truck Kit  [TP01016]

GAZ-66 history and modelling appeal

The GAZ-66 earned its reputation as a simple, go-anywhere 4x4 transport used extensively by motorised infantry. Valued for rugged reliability and straightforward mechanics, the truck stayed in production into the late 1990s and remains popular with scale builders who appreciate authentic military subjects.

Trumpeter's 1/35 representation gives modellers a chance to assemble a faithful miniature of the GAZ-66. The Trumpeter 01016 kit contains over 420 parts, delivering a comprehensive assembly that reproduces the truck's distinctive cab and running gear. Key assemblies include a multi-directional slide-moulded cab plus a complete drivetrain with engine, transmission and suspension components.

Key kit details and display uses

This release includes hollow rubber tyres with correct tread to improve realism, plus clear parts for the windscreen and side glazing. Photo-etched bits add sharp detailing where needed, producing a finished model that works well on its own or as part of a larger diorama or display of tactical vehicles.
