1/10 ZiS-5 cargo truck RC model

Fully 3D printable soviet ZiS-5 cargo truck in scale 1/10.

Rear whell drive.

The legendary ZIS-5 (Russian: ЗИС-5) was a 4x2 Soviet truck produced by Moscow ZIS factory from 1932 to 1948 (first one made at the end of 1930). It became the draft horse of the eastern front during WW2.

In 1931, Moscow Avtomobilnoe Moskovskoe Obshchestvo (AMO, Russian Автомобильное Московское Общество (АМО) — Moscow Automotive Enterprise) truck plant was re-equipped and expanded with the help of the American A.J. Brandt Co., and began to produce a new truck with designation of AMO-2.

However, the AMO-2 was not an original development but instead was based on the Autocar Dispatch SD truck, after a license agreement with the Autocar Company. Some time later, the AMO-2 was modernized and improved, being renamed the AMO-3. In 1933 AMO was rebuilt again and renamed into Factory No. 2 Zavod Imeni Stalina (or Plant of Stalin's name, abbreviated in ZIS or ZiS) and in Summer, the AMO-3 was rebranded the ZiS-5.

There where also produced plenty of various utility vehicles based on ZiS-5 chassis (eg. field kitchens, field workshops, ambulances, staff and command vehicles, fuel tankers and much more).

The ZIS-5 showed remarkable service on the "Road of Life", the only supply line to the besieged city of Leningrad, opened on the frozen surface of the Ladoga Lake in the winter months during 1941–1944.

The production ended with approx 1 million of ZiS-5 trucks of all variants manufactured.
