Check the exact part count and marking schemes against the specific package.

The Real Subject

The ZIL-157 was a Soviet 6x6 off-road truck that entered production in the second half of the 1950s. It excelled in cross-country capability thanks to a central tire-inflation system and became one of the most widely used vehicles in the Soviet army and allied states. It served in numerous configurations, including a flatbed, a tractor, a rocket-launcher carrier, and, here, a fuel-supply tanker.

Building and Painting Tips

Cut the small parts in this scale carefully and glue with liquid plastic cement. Build and paint the cab and chassis separately. Spray the base coat with an airbrush in Soviet green, and finish the surface with washes and pigments for dust and mud effects on the chassis and tires. Mask the cab glass before painting.

Who the Model Is For

  • For fans of Soviet supply and logistics hardware
  • For collectors of trucks in 1:72 scale
  • For building Cold War convoys and dioramas
  • For modelers with intermediate experience and up

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints, and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It is the fuel-truck version with a fuel tank, designed for fuel supply, not a plain flatbed truck.

It was a Soviet 6x6 off-road truck with excellent cross-country capability thanks to a central tire-inflation system, widely used from the 1950s onward.

The parts are small in 1:72 scale, so we recommend at least basic experience gluing small plastic parts.
