Copper State Models 35009 Garford-Putilov Armored Car 1/35

Copper State Models 35009 Garford-Putilov Armoured Car 1/35 is a precise plastic model kit faithfully representing the Russian Garford-Putilov armoured car from the World War I era. The 1/35 scale allows for detailed depiction of both the characteristic armour and the undercarriage details of the original machine.

The presented model is based on the legendary combat vehicle manufactured in Russia in 1915–1916 on chassis of Garford Motor Truck Co. trucks imported from the United States. The Garford-Putilovs were used mainly by the army of the Russian Empire during World War I and during subsequent battles of the Russian Civil War. Only 48 units were produced over several years, but thanks to their reliability, solid armour, and powerful armament, these vehicles went down in history as some of the most effective early armoured cars in the world. Although their mobility was considered average, their durability and firepower made them highly effective in combat—utilized on the Eastern Front, in clashes with German and Austrian equipment, as well as in the brutal street fighting of Russia's revolutionary era.
