Hello guys!

So I have Roden's kit of KrAZ-214B and decided to have a crack at it, anyone who is planning on the same, you better be ready for a stressful build, the whole build has been plagued with silly little problems, most around the instructions being wrong or changing between pictures, just really silly things, all can be solved with abit of clear thinking though. Also, the bed of the truck has alot of injection marks on it, aside from that its well detailed. So here are the pictures, build is complete and painting to start tomorrow!



What I havnt mentioned is that I broke a clear plastic part when doing the cab window, with a lack of clear parts in my spares I cut up what wasn't broke and made one window rolled half down and the other 'smashed', Hope this works!





And if anyone wondered why I called this a monster truck, just take a look at the size of her next to my landy!



Sorry about the pictures, taken on my phone! All comments welcome guys!

Looks very nice. Thanks for posting.

Ok im at a loss, I have Russian green for the outside but what about inside the cab? Any ideas? Google didnt turn up anything for me so any help is great help!

Alex,

I have been looking for the same thing for a 255b, all I could find was a pic labled as being a Tatra 1957 radio truck that seemed to be the same as the outer colour. As it was a restored truck it is hard to tell if this is right but it may be the best option.

Paul,

Yh I been thinking about it, these would of been mass made same sorta way of a car, only lacking trim, figured I would go with the Russian green and pick out gear sticks etc black with a dry brush of metal sliver to show they are worn down, maybe tan colour for the seats, think its going to be a case of doing what looks 'natural'

All the photos I could find showed the same color, inside and out. Saves time.

Ok so I primed and rust coated the outside but thought I would share the inside details, hasn't been weathered yet and still needs a touch up here and there but I did it in the same Russian green that im going to put outside, as always comments welcome!
