Manufacturer

PST, Byelorussia

Packing

Cardboard box with top-opening

Injected

Quality

117 gray plastic parts are injected very well. Most of them are the same as in other PST Zis kits. The only one frame contains parts specific for the Zis 42/42M (tracks, rear axle). The part representing the tilt is the same as in other Zis kits, which means useless. After completing the kit there will be a lot of spare parts, for example the metal cab or rear wheels.

Instructions

comprehensive, with a short description of history

Decals

One marking for Zis-42 and one for Zis-42M

Note & overall impression

The Zis-42/42M half-tracks (not half-trucks, as written on the box and in the instructions) served from 1942 to the end of the war either as artillery tractor or just for transportation of troops or material. This model is ideal to be a part of a diorama.
