Subject: Jeeps to the Soviet Union

Hi there

I'm building a model of a Willys MA, and wish to depict one of the
1,500 sent to the Soviet Union.

Has anyone seen a photo of such a vehicle?

Is there a record of what the Red Army referred to the jeep as?

Or did they just call it a jeep, like everyone else did?

Yes, yes, I know the British and Canadians officially referred to it
as the 'Car, 5-cwt., 4x4' but every veteran I've dealt with gives me
a blank look if I refer to such a vehicle. They called 'em jeeps.
