Product Information

1:72 scale plastic 1+1 model kit featuring the two Russian Army Tractors KZKT-537L & MAZ-537.

In June 1954, the Council of Ministers of the USSR adopted a resolution on the creation of a special design bureau for the development of powerful military tractors with the possibility of subsequent modification in the civilian industry. At the Minsk Automobile Plant, a Special Design Bureau [SKB] was organized, under the direction of the chief designer Boris L. Shaposhnik, and an effort was made to develop an improved heavy tractor based on the proven MAZ-535. At the end of 1958, the first prototypes appeared, which successfully withstood factory, and then state interdepartmental tests.

On March 29, 1959, the first truck MAZ-537 was assembled at the Minsk Automobile Plant, and from the beginning of 1960 began serial production of new MAZ-537 wheeled tractors, which were adopted for service on July 30, 1962. At the end of 1963, design documentation was transferred to the Uralselmash plant in the city of Kurgan (renamed the Kurgan Wheel Tractor Plant (KZKT) by the order of the Minister of Automotive and Tractor Industry of June 11, 1966), where the MAZ-535 family had been manufactured. At that time, the total output of MAZ-537 family tractors in Minsk and MAZ-535 in Kurgan reached 350-400 pieces per year.
