JeroenS Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 When I saw @airea's fantastic build of Zvezda's URAL 4320 I knew I wouldn't be able to resist very long. My LHS had it in stock so when I was "downtown" just now I went and got it. I will "civilianize" it like he did. A huge truck, over 20 centimeters in 1/35. Excellent value for money as well, this kit. Box says 357 parts and I believe it. 3 large sprues and 3 smaller ones, cost just under €30. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireball Modelworks has an accurate factory wheel & tyre set, but also offers a variety of chunkier off road tyres and wheels, as well as a resin fender flare set for the Bronco.

johnlambert Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Another Tamiya classic. I hope I didn't outbid anyone from here, the auction didn't reach half or what buy-it-now sellers were asking. It looks like a nice kit, there's even some self-adhesive felt carpet. Pity there's no engine but at least the seats have backs. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was about £46, not cheap but a lot better than the £100 buy-it-now prices I've seen. If I hadn't bid it would have sold for about £35, I think.
