Coo! If it's anything like their GAZ-MM or GAZ-AAA, the kit will have lots of great detailing. I might have to buy a pass for this bus ride!

Dio idea?


About $50 for the bus, $120 (US) in figures, endless building and painting ... priceless!

They started in 1933 with these buses.
Have they been used in civil life or just in the army?

It was a mass produced bus used by companies, factories, even public transport services. http://www.autogallery.org.ru/gaz0330.htm

Hi Roman,

Many thanks!
Now i will use one on a road side, inspected by some curious Germans in a dio I am working on since two years. Just to give it some colour.
On autoscale.ru i saw some decals for buses, but since it is in Russian I have no idea about the scale or how to order them.

Any Russian help available?

Thanks in advance

I was using this website to make plates that I want but I am not sure if the licence plate style that you want is there

Good going MiniArt. Another fine job. This will fit in well with any Stalingrad dio, right along side with the resin trolley car that has been in the stash just waiting for an idea to pop into my head. Add figures, glue and paint, shake and bake, instant dio. Oh this will be cool.
