Out now is our new resin FAI light armored car.

FAI light armored car

Built on the chassis of the GAZ A car (itself a licensed copy of the U.S. Ford A), the FAI's initials stand for Ford-A-Izhorskiy (after the factory of manufacture). The civilian chassis could not carry too much weight, so the vehicle's armor was only strong enough to resist light-arms fire and shrapnel.

Armed with a 7.62mm DT machinegun in a revolving turret, the FAI was primarily fielded by the Soviet Union, where it was the most numerous armored car in service until the start of the Great Patriotic War. This light armored car also saw service during the Spanish Civil War on both sides, as well as during World War II with Finnish and German forces (at least one German-operated FAI was taken under control of the Polish Home Army during the Warsaw Uprising, too!).
