Miniart is doubling down on the Gaz 03 & Gaz 05 truck bases. Out now is at least one of several different variants of the GAZ 03 and GAZ 05 trucks including an ambulance(03), a staff bus, another ambulance(05). And many others are soon to follow. Check out all the cool new Miniart GAZ based vehicles here!

I would love to the the civilian bus as a Ford AA, but these kits are grossly over engineered and building them is an ordeal. I learned this the hard way with my Gaz AAA. If Ford/Gaz made the the part, MiniArt replicated it, down to the wiring for the headlights!

LOL! Be careful what you wish for! You do have to admire the attention to detail they've put into them and the beautiful truck models that result. But yes, tiny fingers and good eyesight are essential.

Thanks!
ALSO OF NOTE; INCLUDED THE SAME LATEST BLAST OF INFO FROM MINIART are:
NO LESS than SIX US WLA 45 (Harley-Davidson) Motorcycle kits with Drivers in various poses,
SEVERAL US Dozers (Caterpillar), one of which has the "INSIDE-Mounted Angle-Blade" (between the Track Frames),
PLUS TWO Pz.Kpfw.III kits, the Ausf.C and Ausf.D, which will round out very nicely the entire line of 1/35 Pz.IIIs, except for the Ausf.A, which (as I've mentioned more than just a few times, in earlier threads), was the version with FIVE Large Road-Wheels, instead of the Ausf.B thru D's eight road-wheels and the Ausf.E thru N's six...
PS- Would also like to see 1/24 versions of the Ford/GAZ A and AA Trucks...
