The many different types of the "Werkstattkraftwagen" or workshop motor vehicle that supported the men and machines of the German forces during World War II are not often modelled in mainstream plastic injection kits, and so we were very happy to see MiniArt's version on the way.
Often made up from regular trucks or heavy vehicles, many types were used by the Germans, including the Type-03-30, which was based on the captured Russian GAZ truck/ omnibus chassis.
The GAZ 03-30 was manufactured in Russia from 1933 to 1941 and from 1945 to 1948 after the war. It was based on the GAZ AA and had 16 seats in the bus version, but some were converted as this one is full of machinist tools and equipment to fix other vehicles and machines.
Miniart's kit includes the sprues from the GAZ and the rear wooden crew working compartment.
