PST 72049 PMZ-2 (US6) Fire tanker 1/72 is a precision plastic scale model kit in 1:72 scale, intended for enthusiasts of military modeling and special historical vehicles. The model depicts the Soviet PMZ-2 fire truck on a Studebaker US-6 chassis, which played a significant role in fire protection for the Red Army and numerous military facilities during World War II as well as the postwar years.

The PMZ-2 was one of the most important firefighting vehicles used by the USSR. Its production began just before the outbreak of World War II. Various military truck chassis were used for the PMZ-2 equipment, including the ZIS-5, ZIS-6, half-track ZIS-42, and the American Studebaker US-6, supplied under the Lend-Lease program. These vehicles served in the fire brigades of the Red Army Air Force, large military bases, and also in city fire departments. PMZ-2s were used from the late 1930s, throughout World War II, and up to the mid-1950s, when they were retired from service.
