I'm sure someone out there wonders if the wheel backings can be posed turned on that "front wheel beam."

Armor35 just replied that they can, "Swivel disks - separately, just put the pin and they will turn."

So, the only connection between this and the "armor" in Armorama is the model company's name, right? Well, okay then, civilian versions it is. Think that I'll build an Opel ice cream truck. Seriously, I'm not put-off by this inclusion, just sort of surprised, especially considering its truck and car scale and the uproar when we included 1/35 helicopters and light planes some time back.

The zil is a military vehicle, so an option to modify the kits seems ok to fit here. As for the rest I am sure a complaint will be filled soon enough. 🙄

At least I guess there have been more ZiL-130 trucks in military use than say, for instance, Mercedes Typ 170V cabriolets
