    in Russian-Eastern block-Warsaw Pact Vehicles

    Posted

    thanks guys.

    The 67b's were made from 1943 on, and this one was made 23.06.43.so its an early 'B' model...

    Dear friends !

     

    I see real good job with this GAZ-67 ! This particular GAZ is really nice vehicle !

     

    But only one notice - such stamped front grill with 7 vertical holes was introduced on GAZ-67 in serial production from 1948 only ! So, this example is not from 1943...

     

    Earlier vehicles had welded front grill:

    Sadly, I have found nothing about SMD-21-08 engines, besides, they are used in some armoured vehicles.

    I also own a IGL 3 which is probably not recorded any where as it has been with me since 1985... I also have a large amount of spares. Mike

    Dear friends !

     

    Looking through the Internet, I have found, that there were short-base and long-base Guy Vixant trucks in Britain. And I have some questions about this type:

    1) When short-base Vixant trucks were produced, and when - long-base trucks ?

    2) What are main differences between Guy Ant wartime truck and Guy Vixant wartime truck ?

    3) Can I use wartime-issued Manual on Vixant truck for the references on Guy Ant wartime truck ?

     

    Thanks in advance.

     

    Regards,

    Modello.
