Plastic model kit of a Soviet four-wheel drive vehicle with 283 parts. Production of the WC-52 military multi-purpose all-terrain vehicle with four-wheel drive began in 1941. The weapon carrier was equipped with a Braden MU-2 winch with a towing capacity of 3,400 kg. To accommodate the winch, the WC-52 was built with a longer frame compared to the WC-51. The winch could be used for various tasks, such as vehicle recovery. Besides cargo and troop transport, the vehicle could also pull a trailer or a gun weighing up to 2 tons. The nearly 25,000 WC 52s delivered to the Soviet Union under the Lend-Lease programme were often used to pull the 76-mm anti-tank gun ZIS-3. From 1941 to the end of the war, a total of 59,000 WC-52s were built. They not only served in the US Army, but were also supplied to Britain, the USSR, China, Brazil and the Free French Army.
