Hello all.

I wondered what have been the trucks of this system.
I saw many pics with the Ural 4320 in the actual time but before the introduction of this truck, what was the base of this system?
By the way, Ural 375D was one of the base of the starter unit?

Thanks.
Jean-Luc.

Here's an earlier, smaller airfield starter vehicle, the UAZ-915B (a.k.a. APA 12) based on the GAZ-69 :







Here's a APA-2 on a ZiL-150 truck :





and a APA-50 on a ZiL-130 :



APA-50M on a ZiL-131 :



I guess the APA-5 was specifically designed for the URAL 375D and the APA-5D was for the 4320...

Here's the APA-5 version :

I'd buy that in a minute if it were a kit!

Thanks Henri-Pierre!

I didn't know there were so many variants of this starter unit.
I wanted to model the Ural 375D i have in stock with the HAD conversion set so with the last pic i can go on. Perfect.
