I don't build modern Russian but I'm buying one of those!

I think it is safe to say that Trumpeter is going to go thru the full gamut of Russian MA3 trucks that can make use of their highly detailed chassis from the scud kit.
Yeah! I certainly hope so!
p.s. In reality there are actually three versions of this fire truck all using the same length MA3 chassis. This is the medium sized and most common version but the bigger one is even more cool!

Very cool indeed! I hope the tank transporter they showed "on the side" will be done, as well.

That is a very cool truck! Now if they would only make a S60 57mm gun I'd be over the moon. They are already partway there because they had to make 57 mm guns for the ZSU 57-2. So close...
