1972 UAZ 469-B or equivalent UAZ 31512;back it a '90s Cagiva military enduro and an Avia(Czech-made Saviem SG)A31(in the role of a fake,"wannabe"UAZ 452-d military dropside truck,I believe--maybe,the director don't had succeeded to find a true UAZ 452-d for scenes) |

I'm pretty sure they're meant to be French army vehicles, so the producers wouldn't have been looking for a UAZ 452 substitute. |

At that point,better to use a Peugeot P4(Mercedes G-body)or an Auverland,meanwile of a UAZ 469-B,for scenes PS Heard that,then the fake UAZ 452,that I've spot as Avia-Saviem SG,could be a true Saviem(TP3 4X4) or equivalent Renault(TRM 2000) |

If recall better,depends that early UAZ 469 were only for military use(prototypes dates back 1964 for replace obsolete GAZ 69 series into vehicles fleet of Red Army--in fact the two models sharing same Volga 2.5 lt.OHV gasoline unit,being GAZ 69 production shifted by Gorky at Ulyanovsk plant in the Sixties);"B" initial seems distinguish early civilian export version only,appeared around 1972 circa(in fact all those sold here in Italy were all 469 B-named) |

The fact that they have or not the "B" in the name depending also if it had or not portal axles fitted;into story of Italian UAZ site they say also that "469 B" was military denomination chosen by Importer for put in sale that vehicle in Italy,being "31512" name that of original civilian version at home;e.g.,in West Germany into '70s,the same civilian UAZ was marketed as "Tundra 469 B";by that,it's easy to understand that if us were in presence of a military one,then was a UAZ 469(with portal axles)or a 469 B(without portal axles);if civilian version,therefore only UAZ 31512(but if wrongly named 469 B at export);warning,but:some military cars into movies sometimes were civilian ones converted in military for be filmed,so isn't easy to say if us were in presence of a true surplus ex-military one or a civilian one retouched and re-painted(when needs)as a military-spec vehicle. OT-PS An anecdote on movies with true or not UAZes:into movie"Rambo-First Blood III",1987 circa,in Afghanistan scenes(some filmed in USA)where need presence of UAZ 469 as Red Army vehicles,they were replaced,badly,with American-made Jeep CJ-5(or M38A1)with grille modified to make resembles it UAZes(7 slots grille of Jeep rebuilt in that with 2 slots of UAZes),but trick come out,'cause body side features 2 doors(like any CJ-5 or M38A1),not 4 as whatever UAZ 469/31512(but were still Cold War's years,and therefore,directors must manage in some way to do credible filmed scenes). -- Last edit: 2007-03-29 19:00:43 |
