YAZ-200 is "licenced" production of MAZ-200 and also the same vehicle as GARBUZ model (different sprue layout)
- MAZ was produced in Minsk Automobile Plant
(now Belorussia), YAZ in Yaroslavl Automobile Plant but it looks like the original model 200 was produced in Yaroslavl initialy with wooden cabin, later
with tinny cabin and this later model was also produced in Minsk. - Note Ondrej Repka
Built model gmu72001, by Udo Bauer
Some photos of my conversion of the YAZ-200 with trailer 2-AP-3 into the MAZ-200. The YAZ is basically the same vehicle as the MAZ. The production was transferred from Yaroslavl (Yaroslavskij AvtoZavod) to Minsk (Minskij AvtoZavod). However, the NVA did not have the YAZ in service, while the MAZ-200 was used in small numbers by the NVA in the 1960s. So I had to rebuild the model. The radiator grille was changed and the logo of MAZ, the buffalo, was placed on the sides of the engine compartment. The NVA vehicles had the Notteck headlights for driving at night on the left, on the fender. Minor details have been added. The truck is marked with red flags as transporting dangerous goods
