Cold War Russian Trucks in 1/72

[Kingsman]

AVD is a new company on me, but clearly not new.  They now have a small range of 1/72 Soviet trucks on ZIL-130 4x2 and ZIL-131 6x6 chassis, some of which look particularly useful for airfield dioramas. 

 

I can't find a website for them, although they are on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AVD-Models-1967706043461017/

 

Here's a listing of their 1/72 products at a store in Kiev I use and trust: https://www.hobby.dn.ua/avd-models-m-449.html .  This store has lots of other interesting Eastern European stuff.  AVD products are stocked elsewhere, as Google will show you.

 

AVD also have a much larger range of Russian trucks and vehicle kits in mixed media in 1/43 scale, which is really annoying for 1/48 modellers as they're noticeably smaller: 1/43 is of course a traditional model vehicle scale analogous to the model railway O Gauge.

Other Cold War and modern Russian injection plastic softskins are available from AA Models, ICM, Military Wheels and UM (UniModel).  There may be others.

Includes links for an AVD website, but it just seems to be another seller.
