The Hobby Boss 83845 kit offers a detailed representation of the Russian ZIS-151, a pivotal vehicle in post-WWII Soviet military history. This model is a tribute to the first major Soviet all-wheel-drive truck developed after World War II, replacing its American counterpart, the Studebaker US6. The ZIS-151 served as a versatile platform for various military applications, including the renowned BM-13 Katyusha rocket launchers.

A Historical Icon in Scale

This truck was a cornerstone of Soviet logistics and military operations, with tens of thousands manufactured to support diverse roles. Its successor, the ZIL-157, introduced design changes like a different grille and single rear wheels, but the ZIS-151 remains a classic piece of engineering from its era.
