Meng Models The Russian Hummvee

Meng Models is well known for their line of civilian vehicles in military configuration. This time, they are bringing the Russian Hummvee into the plastic scale model world.

GAZ-233014 STS “Tiger” is Meng latest creation. The GAZ Tiger is Russian answer to the US Hummvee. It is a troop carrier and configuration can be changed. There is a civilian version also, just like US Hummer.

The Tiger is in active service with the Russian armed forces and its fate is under controversy in Russia.

FP: It is already clear that by 2014, production of the “Russian Hummer” will be ceased. How many Tigers will be produced by that time? 

SS: The number that will be produced is classified, but there are currently over 500 of these vehicles in various modifications for the Peace Keeping forces, the MVD, the FSB, the FSO, and that is not counting those produced for export. Out of all those vehicles, a total of 200 are operated by the MOD, not 50 as was previously stated, out of which 30 are of the modernized Tiger-M type, with the new Yaroslavskiy engine.
