Looking for pics of SV38 (Russian 2.5 tonne truck) and SV52 (ZIS 6 truck with tilt) can anyone oblige?

This is the ZIS 6 (SV52) (at rear) . I don't have the SV38 yet.

Thanks Hertsblue.

Supplementary question, if I may. Is the canvas tilt a separate casting or is the model one piece? I'm looking for a Russian truck with an open back.

In this thread there are more pictures:

The ones without tilt look exactly the same as the ones who have a tilt so probably separet pieces

Can confirm that the tilt is a separate piece as is the tray so that opens up all sorts of conversion possibilities.

Thanks to Peter and Grumpy.

I'll order a couple up for starters. I want some truck mounted 12.7mm AA MGs for my Soviets. The ZIS and a pack of the Vietnam era 12.7mm should let me do a suitable conversion.

All I need now are some quad MGs

Hi Ithoriel

Just saw a post on TMP that the SV38 Russian 2.5 is actually a GMC truck without tilt:-

so would look like this without the tilt :-

I'm sure Leon or someone will chime in here but I don't think SV38 is a GMC (I've got some GMCs in my Russian force as lend lease and they don't look the same) but is an open topped truck with a flat cab roof.  I can take a photo tonight if it helps.

If it looks as if it was built in the twenties it's probably a ZIS.

If I can change the subject just for a second...sorry guys.

The picture of the truck GrumpyOldMan posted, what is the actual use for them in a gaming situation?



Hertsblue, they are very nice looking models!

The GMC 2.5 ton truck would be used as a logistics vehicle but also as a tractor.  Mine deployed with the Red Army are Lend Lease (there were really far more Studebakers) which tend to act as gun tows for ZIS-3s.  A page on Studebakers here: http://www.o5m6.de/studebaker_us6_u3.html

In my BKC Soviet battlegroup they would be artillery tractors. The reason for wanting open backed trucks was to allow me to add an AA model to a couple of my Command stands. Trucks with 12.7mm MGs or quad mount Maxims were uses as AA cover by the Russians.

For BKC a truck is a truck is a truck so makes and models are just flavour.

Am now wondering about an American or British truck or two for my Germans as captured lease-lend equipment. Just to ring the changes. Serried ranks of Opel Blitzes look a little too regimented.

The SV38 code isn't a GMC truck, it's a different model.

Thanks for the replies guys!

So could they be used to transfer troops closer to the opponents? If so that would be pretty cool haha
