PMMS shows 2 sets of resin wheels from Customfactory for, repectively, ZIL-130/-133 and ZIS-150 trucks.
Did I miss the release of those 2 trucks ?
Or are they "to be released soon" kits ?
TIA for your replies.

Hi,
Trumpeter offered a troop carrier similar to the US deuce and I believe the other was a tractor unit as part of missile trailer/launcher.SAM 2 maybe.
I'm thinking Zveseda offered the TC as a re-box. I stand to be corrected on this.

In fact Zvezda/Italeri have released a ZiL-151 in two variants, rocket-launcher and cargo truck. The Zil-151 is fitted with this type of wheels :



Then Trumpeter released a ZiL-157 in two versions and some Chinese copies which are all fitted with this type of wheels :

AFAIK, there are unfortunately no matching kits (yet ?) for the wheels released by Custom Factory...To me they looks very close to the D-30 howitzer carriage wheels (see here )

On a side note, the ZiL-130 set is OK, but the ZiL-150 is often fitted with a different type of wheels :



H.P.

Yes, Frenchy is right. ZiS-150 and it's successor ZiL-164 had the wheels of single type only - as on Frenchy's image. And pre-series and very early ZiL-130s had same wheels.

But the vast majority of ZiL-130s had the wheels of type, which "Customfactory" offers. And all ZiL-133 trucks had these wheels.

The D30 howitzer has wheels of both types - see here:

http://www.fsmm.org/guns.htm - early type;

and here:

http://www.armyrecognition.com/russia_russian_army_light_heavy_weapons_uk/d-30_122_mm_towed_howitzer_technical_data_sheet_specifications_information_pictures_video.html - late type.

Thanks for your replies.
So, it's for the D-30 ...
Too bad, I hoped for one of these lovely trucks !

These machines are now being developed in the 35-m scale. And many other interesting projects.
