Hello mates,
I just want to start building the new Trumpeter kit of Ural-4320. I want to use a resin wheel set from miniarm.
There is an early set, the wheels are much smaller, and a set with late wheels, much wider, like they are in the Trumpeter kit too, avaiable.

I want to build my model as truck of the cold war, round about mid of the 1980's.
Must I use the early wheels? Anybody knows the date for change from early to late wheels?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Thomas

This Afghanistan picture has been taken in 1986 :



Looks like the wheels are the early type....

Thank you Frenchy,
I have found so many pictures of the Ural,
sometimes they have small wheels, sometimes they have the wide...

I think I will use the small for the early version.
