Hi all,

I´m currently starting minimanfactory´s KRAZ-255B (1/35). I only found pictures of plain green vehicles. Has anyone suggestions, pictures, links etc. that shows something different and unusual paint shemes for this truck? I don´t care which nationality the truck is, as long as it is not green.

Thanks in advance,

All the best,

Andreas

Well, men !

The photo of KrAZ with radioactive marker is 3D-model from the site of automobile racing computer gamers - thus, the authenticity of this scheme is some doubtful (oh gamers, gamers... .

Here are real trucks (all vehicles are Russian, if other country is not specified):


- Finnish army








- Ukrainean army fuel truck



Enjoy !
And see part 2 about KrAZ !

Picture 7 shows KrAZ in Russian army.
Armored and armed KrAZ was made by Cuban specialists, and was used in Angola War by Cuban Forces.

Thanks for the ID, Juhász. This combo should be doable in 1:48th and 1:72nd scales...

Dear Andreas!

If I may recommend - and I hope I can :-) - the best looking scheme is finnish.
In my opinion of course...although the 99% is dummy green (olive)
There are some fake schemes, take care don't choice them.

Hope to see soon!

Cheers,
Gabor
