Trumpeter 1:72 MAZ-537G Heavy Artillery Tractor Model Kit – Intermediate Variant (#07194)

Description

MAZ-537G intermediate type with MAZ/ChMZAP 5247G semi-trailer

The first prototypes of the MAZ-537 were built in 1958 and series production was launched in 1960. The new vehicle incorporated an engine developing 525 hp at 2100 rpm—a very high figure for that time; even armored vehicles and tanks had fewer hp—and many significant changes in the fuel supply, cooling system and lubrication, which made a complete redesign of the engine compartment covers and louvers necessary. Nearly all components of the frame and chassis were reinforced as well, increasing the total weight to 21.6 tons (total gross weight of 87 tons), allowing a load of up to 50 tons to be towed.

The first series of the MAZ-537 remained in production in Minsk until 1964, when it was shifted to Kurgan Factory, as was done with the MAZ-535 before.
