Why the GAZ-66 appeals to scale modellers

The compact GAZ-66 is known for its simple, robust design and off-road capability, traits that made it a staple in military logistics. Its straightforward construction and iconic silhouette make it a rewarding subject for modellers recreating period vehicles and field scenes.

The Trumpeter 01016 1/35 kit captures the truck in high detail. With over 420 parts, the model provides a detailed cab formed with slide moulding and a full drivetrain layout including engine, gearbox and suspension components for an authentic build process.

Build features and presentation tips

The kit includes hollow rubber tyres with authentic tread patterns for realistic wheel presentation, plus clear glazing for the windshield and side windows. Small photo-etched parts are supplied for refined detailing, helping the completed model stand out on a shelf or within a diorama display.
