I am kind of thinking of a price point of $100 for the full kit ( with )modified copied '31 Ford . Gaz AA single axel

Gaz AAA double axel $125

Stalin's Organ rocket launcher add on to the GAZ AAA additional $75

All in kit forrm unpainted. These prices are just an estimate.

So Matthew your saying we do not need to buy diecast 31 Ford pickup. You will have everything in the kit?

An estimated $100USD for the full single axle kit? That's pretty tempting. I'm still recovering from christmas but my wallet would be down for a kit in about 4 weeks time. Could maybe put down a deposit if you need the numbers.

I dont know how many of you get the Military Channel but there is a program on right now called "WWII in Color" "Soviet Stream Roller" in which there is lots of color footage of these trucks. Very good program, it shows them also with a large oval type tank in the rear as they were used as fuel tankers to.

People are always complaining about your kit prices, but starting at $100 I think this is very tempting. I would think long and hard about this one. I hate to commit because my job is so shaky these days and I already committed for one of your flying wing kits, but man this is tempting.

I am trying to get my models together.

I have a Gaz -AAA and a BM-13 Katysha that just came in.

I am not too hip on Russian stuff.

Do any of you guys know if the BM-13 Katysha rocket rail system will work for the Gaz -AAA ?

Not Sure if it's actually a GAZ or a ZiS-6, as below

The chamfer at the top/rear of the cab seems to be different.

It looks like after a year of this poll running. :shock: :shock: :shock: :D :roll:

The yeahs have almost caught up to the nays.

So this will be made.

I have looked at prints of the AA and AAA and the differences are minor in the grand scheme of things.

The 2 major diffs are the double axels and the spare tire mounts on the fenders.

The AA has a single axel in the rear the AAA a double.

The AA does not have the spare wheel wells in the fenders so they do not mount there and the AAA of couse have them.

So I will do both variants of the GAZ. The AA and the AAA at the same time.

The rocket launcher will be done at this project progress.

Probably about 3 weeks.

So either the Gaz will be done or the Ho-229. One then the other back to back.

After the T-34 and 105 Howitzer.

I'm in for a GAZ AA. Let me know if you'd like a deposit pickel.
