Andras,
Very nice review of an interesting and unique vehicle. Now the BIG question is whether someone also produces any trailers for this beast? I'm currently working on a MAZ 7917 so I have a clue how involved the suspension on these monster trucks can be!
Cheers,
Jan

Very nice review, makes me want to buy one!
The trailer already exist for at least a year when I saw it in hungary on a model show. Take a look for example here:

Dear Jan,
Thank you. It seems like I did not know about the trailer... it does exist
The suspension was really incredibly well engineered. It just snaps together -very tight fit, very well designed. I was worried that the small arms would break, but they held.
Dear Andreas,
I can only recommend this kit. I really don't like to sing hymns about models, because none of them are flawless, and what really works for me might put others off, but this thing is just a pleasure to work with. Kind of like the DML Flak 88 when it came out - pure joy from start to finish. I'm really glad about the trailer. Armada really should promote itself, because it's not very easy to find out what they have -and where to buy their kits from. Now I just need to buy a trailer, carefully remove the MAZ from the base of the display case I glued it to, and find a long enough case to put the two in together. And perhaps put a tank on top of it.
