The GAZ-05-193 was a modification of the three-axle GAZ-AAA truck. The bus version, taken over and adapted by the Wehrmacht, became a valuable asset due to its robust chassis and spacious body, which was ideally suited for the role of a mobile command post in the difficult conditions of the Eastern Front.

Kit for self-assembly and painting. Does not include paints or glue. Assembly requires separately sold modeling tools (including nippers, files, tweezers), paints, brushes, and plastic model glue (e.g., Tamiya Extra Thin Cement). The photo shows a professionally assembled and painted model.
