Roden never sleeps! They are giving us a follow-up to their earlier release of the KrAZ-214B.

I love these huge Russian trucks

I saw this pic of an armoured Kraz.. but id didn't say anything about the truck.. Anyone know anything about it.. or have pics of it from other angles? Looks like it would make a really mean looking conversion.

This is what the 255B looks like, check the front fenders and the "boxes" for the headlights.

The boxart shows a 214 with wide tyres

This is the correct boxart by the way:

Love the boxart, looks like the artist likes those "abandoned vehicles in the woods" posts on English Russia! Just wish AM manufacturers would do a radio/radar/workshop etc box body conversion as I just had a great weekend helping a friend get his Zil-131 radio cabin working.
Oh well, there's always the scratch route
