KrAZ-214B, 1/35 - Roden 804

The KrAZ-214 was a Soviet truck produced in the Ukrainian city of Kremenchuk between 1959 and 1967. The predecessor of the KrAZ-214 had been manufactured from 1954 to 1959 in the Russian city of Yaroslavl. The KrAZ-214 had a 7 tonne carrying capacity and could transport special loads (for example, tanks) on a trailer, up to 50 tonnes by gross weight. A series of special military trucks was produced on the basis of the KrAZ-214, along with power-shovels, water tankers, pontoon and bridge carriers, and fuel servicing trucks for strategic rockets. Apart from the USSR, the KrAZ-214 was exported to several allies of the Soviet Union - East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary, Cuba, Egypt, Algeria and others. More than 30 thousand trucks of this type were produced.
