A new kit with figures is on the way from MiniArt that should help in getting some Russian soldiers to the front.

Now that's nice: the truck AND its crew. Very good initiative, we need those crews...for all those trucks;-) We need Russians, Brits, Americans...

Luckily manufacturors are beginning to add them to their kits, a trend I personally welcome very, very much.

I agree with Harald. We need more seated figures for all the vehicles out there. Both Allies and Axis troops, Summer & Winter clothing. I hope that MiniArt releases the figures only sometime in the future. Thank you MiniArt !

I hope that box in the middle of the pics has been secured or that the driver doesn't have to brake suddenly or we'll have 1 Russian soldier with crushed legs Other than that: Excellent news

Hi, MiniArt Staff,

An excellent idea of combining several good products from your house.
And all for a very affordable price.
And since you have shown that you are very well able to understand todays modeler's requirements, I attach a link with some ideas (with respect for the one who put it on the web):

I am sure that you will consider this and come up with another fascinating member of the GAZ family.
This one certainly will be seen in my collection.

Thanks for the review. Very helpfull.

I have a MA GAZ truck already, so I hope the soldiers will be sold separately.

Guys all of the figures shown in this release are available in various figure sets already released.
4 of the figures are from 35055 - Soviet soldier riders, and the remianing two are in set 35042 - WORLD WAR II drivers. It is possible that the moulds for these figures have been upgraded as I have seen MiniArt improving their older releases of late.
