Mak_the_Knife Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Hi all, One of my "soon" projects is a "1/72 Ghost of Kiev" diaroma and I'd like to have a fuel truck with it, but can't seem to find much info on what they use, most of the articles I find currently deal with current war losses etc, and nothing about what they currently use. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old pro Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Don’t know for sure, but I presume they are still using the old soviet ones based on the Zil or Ural chassis, if you go to the ARMORY website they have airfield vehicles https://armorymodels.com/product-category/resin-multimedia-accesories/1-72-afv-resin-kits-conversions/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsman Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 KrAZ are Ukrainian so it's a racing certainty that they will have some of that brand. They haven't been buying Russian kit for a long time, but have been hanging on to older Russian kit, and KrAZ have enjoyed export success against Russian brands. This is the new/current Army tanker on the KrAZ 63221 chassis. There is a 4x4 too. I think this might be the air force version, here on the 63221 (left) and older KrAZ 260 (right). They used to have some based on the even older Soviet-era KrAZ 255. Might still be around. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cicarista Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 And in 1/72 there is new KrAZ-255B truck available from Russian company AVD https://www.scalemates.com/kits/avd-models-1581-kraz-255b--1441759 and really good looking conversion by another Russian company https://www.scalemates.com/kits/all-scale-kits-72204-ac-85-255b-tanker-conversion-set--1450720 Unfortunately, both being sold only in Russia, hard to come by Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsman Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 There are non-Russian stockists but they all seem to be out of stock, unsurprisingly. HobbyTerra, I-Modelist, ModelsUA, GDKits, Modelimex. There are some very cheap - and a bit nasty - 1/72 KrAZ 260 kits available from China on eBay. You may be able to do something with one of these. No tankers, just truck and tank transporter. GBP £6 for the truck https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325393139441?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Kh96oph9Qdu&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=tfogwmfnta6&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelldoc Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 You right, this kits are snap-kits, but you have an acceptable copy. BTW, they are also cheap. This is my truck: https://www.flickr.com/photos/21603181@N08/52617250984/in/dateposted/ modelldoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandsmodels Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 i have some of those kraz 260 trucks, they are fine for super detailing, cheap and easy to get hold of. also ideal for conversions, not all of us want super dooper really detailed kits, just something to work with, the tank transporter trailer is fine added to the fabbri diecast maz 8x8 truck converted to a 5th wheel tractor.

Mak_the_Knife Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 I was eyeing those chinese KraZ I may pick one up after all then. I picked up a couple of Zils from ICM and found a 3D model of Kraz. was thinking fo trying to make the two mix together, but I think I'll try the Chinese option for now and see waht I think. Thanks folks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmitriy1967 Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 In the photos, the Ural and ZiL-131 cars are most often visible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadi Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Hi All, it's maybe a bit late but I'll add my two cents here. I guess your jet for diorama is from ICM, they actually have quite a big variety of addons available. https://icm.com.ua/technique/atz-5-43203-4/ https://icm.com.ua/technique/atz-4-131-2/ https://icm.com.ua/technique/atz-5-375/ this one is from 60s but may still exist https://icm.com.ua/technique/zil-157-2/ mobile power unit: https://icm.com.ua/technique/apa-50mzil-131-3/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
