Having at least 3 kits of the Italeri ZiL 151 (Katyuscha version), I would like to make this version for a change.
Where could I find the measurement of the tank ?
Or could I use a tank from a GMC ?
Thanks in advance for your help, I know there are some chaps very knowledgeable into Russian trucks.

Other question for the same ones : can a ZiL 151 be easily turned into a ZiL-150 ?

I guess you could start by ordering some conversion parts like those released by Armor35 (front fenders + rear axles)

http://project.armor35.ru/index.php/component/virtuemart/accessories-1.html?Itemid=0

and lay your hands on some Zis 150 scale drawings...

Merci, Henri-Pierre !
I didn't think there were sets for this conversion.

Here's a side view of the ZiS-150 :



and a top view of the chassis :



You'll find a few detail drawings here

Red Iron has released a wheel set for it :
