The ACE 72264 Soviet Ba-64 V/G (Railroad versions) model is a high-quality 1:72 scale plastic kit, presenting one of the most interesting adaptations of the Soviet BA-64 armored car – a version modified for travel on railway tracks. This product is manufactured by the renowned ACE company, known for its attention to detail and faithful reproduction of historical military vehicles.

Historical information and usage

The BA-64 was a Soviet armored reconnaissance car used during World War II and in the early post-war years. Developed in 1942, it was widely employed by the Red Army on various fronts. The presented V/G version was adapted for railway travel, making it ideal for patrolling and protecting transports in areas prone to threats from partisans or sabotage by enemy forces.

Such vehicles were often seen throughout the former USSR, as well as in liberated areas of Eastern Europe. Their presence allowed for a rapid response in the event of attempts to sabotage railway infrastructure, which was crucial for Soviet logistics.
