About product

The BZ-35 aviation gasoline tanker in 1:72 scale from PST

A plastic kit of the Soviet BZ-35 airfield refueling truck in 1:72 scale. The subject is the model 1935 gasoline tanker built on the three-axle ZiS-6 truck, that is on the most powerful Soviet truck of the 1930s. The kit belongs to the extensive range that PST devotes to ZiS vehicles and their bodies.

The real subject

The BZ-35 was a mobile gasoline station of the Soviet Air Force: it carried aviation gasoline around the airfield and pumped it straight into the aircraft. The tank with its sight glass held 3200 liters and the pump handled around 400 liters per minute. Compared with an ordinary ZiS-6 the vehicle has a shortened left step plate so that the spare wheel fits beside the cab, and a smaller fuel tank moved under the driver's seat. A metal chain trailed behind the vehicle to lead static electricity into the ground. Tankers of this type served with air units throughout the war and were among the most frequently seen equipment on field airstrips.

Building and painting tips

The ZiS-6 chassis has fine parts in the drive to the rear axles, so dry-fit them and glue them in drops with liquid cement for plastic. Paint the cab, the frame and the tank separately. A dark wash in the seams of the hood and the grille sits well on the uniform dark green finish, together with dust on the wheels and light chipping on the steps and the edges of the fenders.

Who the model is for

  • Modelers of Soviet trucks and airfield equipment
  • Adding to a field airstrip diorama in 1:72
  • Collectors of the ZiS vehicle range

FAQ

On the three-axle Soviet ZiS-6 truck. Compared with the ordinary cargo version the vehicle has a shortened left step plate because of the spare wheel, and the fuel tank under the driver's seat.

It led static electricity into the ground. When aviation gasoline is being pumped, a spark from accumulated charge is deadly dangerous, so the grounding chain was a required part of the equipment.

This kit builds the basic type on the ZiS-6 chassis. The version with the letter S stands on a different carrier vehicle, but the body and the role stay the same.

The chassis has small drive parts and thin frame sections, so it is better to have at least one model of equipment in 1:72 behind you. Careful dry-fitting before gluing makes the work much easier.
