For an "Danilo Carli / OTW" article about Kit 7010 - Dodge WC51 Truck visit:
Models built by Vojislav Jereb
Represents a WC52 - in two models:
- an American standard one
- a Croatian Police one of the 1991 War of independence.
The origin of this vehicle dates most probably from the 'Jadran Film' movie
studios in Zagreb - (See last picture)
They made part of the vehicles used for filming and were from Yugoslav Army surplus stock. When the war broke in 1991 they were taken by the Police and voluntary units (ZNG) and converted in some kind of 'gun trucks' and used until the availability of other vehicles (either bought from German or Swiss army surplus or captured from the Yugoslav Army baracs). So they were really used in combat in 1991, not for filming purposes. Unfortunately there are very very few photographs of such machines.
A similar and most typical situation was the use of an ex Police Bell-47 helicopter, 'borrowed' from the Zagreb Technical Museum, put to flying condition, armed with a 57mm rocket launcher and sent to front for combat.
Hope you understand the use of the two 'Italeri' vehicles .... Vojislav Jereb

Model by Udo Bauer
(English)- Conversion of the DUKW from Italeri (7022) into the BAW (Bolshoj Avtomobil Wodjanoj = large watercraft) or ZIL-485
The Russians got the DUKW over Lend-Lease, took over the concept and developed the ZIL-485 from it in the fifties (further development:
Folding ramp at the rear, chassis of the ZIL-151 and 157). The NVA had this vehicle in service from the beginning until the 1960s
The SFK-85 is a scratch construction. The 85 mm Pak was equipped with a motorbike engine (from the Molotov M-72, BMW replica) and therefore conditionally independent
Driveable and gelandegangig. SFK = self-propelled gun. In addition to the SFK 85 mm, the SFK 57mm (57 mm Pak ZIS-2 with motorcycle engine) was also in the 60s
Years in the NVA. - Udo Bauer
(German) - Umwandlung des DUKW von Italeri (7022) in den BAW (Bolshoj Avtomobil Wodjanoj = großes Wasserfahrzeug) oder auch ZIL-485
Die Russen haben den DUKW uber Lend-Lease bekommen, die Konzeption ubernommen und in den 50er Jahren daraus den ZIL-485 entwickelt (Weiterentwicklung:
Klapprampe am Heck, Fahrgestell des ZIL-151 und 157). Die NVA hatte dieses Fahrzeug vom Anfang an bis in die 60er Jahre im Dienst.
Die SFK-85 ist ein Scratchbau. Die 85 mm Pak war mit einem Motorrad-Motor (von der Molotov M-72, BMW-Nachbau) ausgerustet und dadurch bedingt eigenstandig fahrfahig und gelandegangig. SFK = SelbstFahrende Kanone.Neben der SFK 85 mm war die SFK 57mm (57 mm Pak ZIS-2 mit Motorrad-Motor) ebenso bis in die 60er Jahre hinein in der NVA im EInsatz.
This kit have also optional simplified wheelparts for wargaming, but luckfully the other wheels of the M8 are full casted and detailled.

New release / box
Kit 7063 - M3A1 Scoutcar - (03-2023 new boxlayout / re-issue)
3 variants of M3A1 Scoutcar by Vojislav Jereb
- a New Zealand one - (the wheels replaced with the Academy M3 Half Track front ones)
- a Soviet one
- a Croatian one of the 1991 War of independence
The origin of this vehicle is unclear but most probably was from the 'Jadran Film' movie
studios in Zagreb (see last picture of the original machine)
They made part of the vehicles used for filming and were from Yugoslav Army surplus stock. When the war broke in 1991 they were taken by the Police and voluntary units (ZNG) and converted in some kind of 'gun trucks' and used until the availability of other vehicles (either bought from German or Swiss army surplus or captured from the Yugoslav Army baracs). So they were really used in combat in 1991, not for filming purposes. Unfortunately there are very very few photographs of such machines.
A similar and most typical situation was the use of an ex Police Bell-47 helicopter, 'borrowed' from the Zagreb Technical Museum, put to flying
condition, armed with a 57mm rocket launcher and sent to front for combat.
Hope you understand the use of the two 'Italeri' vehicles .... Vojislav Jereb
