Darren Baker takes a look at the Zil-131 recently released by Revell of Germany in 1/35th scale. If you are interested in Russian and Soviet recent vehicles this is worthy of taking a closer look at.

According to Military Modelling magazine the kit has accuracy issues in that some of the parts are under or over-sized, is this true?

Reboxed ICM kit.

I did not measure the parts, because I know that some require spot on size accuracy but most are happy with reasonable accuracy. In this case it quacks like a duck, looks like a duck and walks like a duck and so chances are its a duck, in other words close enough as to make very little difference to most. The various elemsnts that make up the model look correct and visually match reference. I suspect that if you picked up any model it would not match all measurement data and so close will keep most people happy.

That's kind of what he just said in the introduction....
