The ICM 35519 AC-40-137A model is a faithfully reproduced plastic model of a Soviet firetruck in 1/35 scale. This vehicle has made its mark in history as the primary firefighting truck used in the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact countries during the Cold War, from the 1960s through the 1990s. AC-40-137A type trucks were designed for fast response to fires both in urban areas and industrial sites, and they proved their functionality during numerous rescue operations across Eastern Europe. The base vehicle was built on the GAZ-53 truck chassis and was known for its high reliability and a spacious water tank with a capacity of up to 2400 liters, which made it an effective firefighting tool for decades.
