Soviet Transport Recreated in 1/35

The Hobby Boss 1/35 scale Russian ZIS-5 truck model kit captures the utilitarian silhouette and rugged lines of the original. The kit gives modellers the chance to reproduce a classic military lorry with precise fitment and scale proportions.

Historical Role and Scale Accuracy

Known for dependable service during WWII, the ZIS-5 is faithfully represented here with attention to chassis and body shapes. The parts reflect the vehicle's functional aesthetic and service use.

Construction Notes and Display Uses

Expect a methodical build with small components that reward careful assembly and patience. Completed models make compelling additions to period displays and transport-themed collections.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35 scale
  • Material: Plastic components
  • Assembly: Requires adhesive assembly
  • Paint: Painting required for period accuracy
Build time varies with skill, but a careful modeller can expect several evenings to complete basic assembly, plus additional time for painting and weathering.
Some aftermarket suppliers offer resin or photoetched upgrades for finer detail; check scale accessory shops for ZIS-5 specific parts.
Use a tidy workbench with good lighting and a small parts tray; consider priming parts on sprues before cutting to maintain detail and avoid handling marks.
