O camião ligeiro Dodge de origem Norte Americana, ao serviço da Russia.

Resenha histórica, da Wikipedia, a enciclopédia grátis:
O Dodge WC, um veículo de tracção 4x4 (excepto os WC-62 e WC-63 que eram 6x6) e de 3/4 Ton, produzido em diversas versões, que vulgarmente era apelidado de Jipão, dadas as semelhanças com o pequeno Willys mas de maior dimensão.
Produzidos entre 1942 e o final da Segunda Guerra Mundial, estima-se que nas suas variadas versões tenham sido fabricados mais 260,000 unidades. Foi utilizado pelo US Army até à Guerra da Coreia.

The Dodge WC series was a range of light military trucks produced by Dodge during World War II. The series included weapon carriers, telephone installation trucks, ambulances, reconnaissance vehicles, mobile workshops and command cars. They were replaced after the war by the Dodge M-series vehicles. WC was a Dodge model code: W for 1941 and C for half-ton rating. The C code was retained for the ¾ ton and 1½ ton 6×6 Dodges.

SU-76 - 'The Little Bitch'

Uma das novidades da Wargames-South, o SU-76 à escala 1/144.

A new release from Wargames-South, the SU-76 in 1/144 scale
Crew: Wargames-South & Pendraken figures





From Wiki:
The SU-76 (Samokhodnaya Ustanovka 76) was a Soviet self-propelled gun used during and after World War II. The SU-76 was based on a lengthened and widened version of the T-70 tank chassis. Its simple construction made it the second most produced Soviet armoured vehicle of World War II, after the T-34 tank.
Crews loved this vehicle for its simplicity, reliability, and ease of use, although it was sometimes nicknamed 'suka' (bitch), 'Suchka' (little bitch) or 'Golozhopiy Ferdinand' (bare-arsed Ferdinand) for its layout which recalled the massive Porsche-designed German tank hunter.

Cheers!
