I haven't noticed a thread like this here on Armorama, where we can show our latest prey. We have similar threads on Aeroscale and Automodeller, so why not here?

I make the kick off here with a kit I was drooling around for some time and finally ordered it. It just arrived this afternoon. It's the KamAZ 5350 from ICM, here just called Soviet Six-Wheel Army Truck, maybe because of licence reasons. 302 crispy looking parts and decals for 4 versions (3 soviet/russian, 1 ukrainian). The instruction plan has 136 steps! Don't know yet when I will have the time to build it, but surely not this year ....


Join in and show us your latest catches, no matter if they are kits, books or after market parts.

Are you sure it's a 5350 and not a 4310 Zvezda has released a 5350.

Maybe you're right, I have to check it. In a german review it was called 5350. Maybe they're wrong. I'm not very familiar with russian trucks ....

I've only placed one international order this year - from the UK. I figured it would take weeks if not months but it was here (Chicago) in 10 days.....
