GHQ Models Forums

Anyone heard of this thing - a Yag-12 truck.
Researched it because I have a model (admittedly poor) of one from ~35 years back, thought that someone else might find them amusing.

4 axle, 12 wheeled (dual wheels on both rear axles, single wheels on both front axles, both front axles steered).
12T 1932 - 41 . . .

Definitely something the Russkies would do . . .

From what little I found (in pigeon translated English) it appears that only a few were built in the mid 1930's.

I'm not sure there's any point in GHQ making a mini of this one!

Low numbers, true enough, but interesting still.
The one that I have (1/285) is rather crude, w/tarped body, of unknown mfg., has "DR34" cast in.
Who might the mfg. be??

Truly sounds like a monster of a truck! Photos?

Not a clue where it would have come from. I have to figure it's from a defunct company since no one seems to use a code like that now. Doesn't match up with CnC or Scotia - that's for sure.

According to the (limited) info in my spreadsheet, the only companies to have done a YAG-12 are Heroics & Ros and Skytrex. Neither of which used the code DR34. I have a few of the Heroics & Ros version and it has an open back rather than a tarp.
