???
Why did this show up blank???
O.K., I'll try again...

1.Will someone please give me the make & mil. designation for this vehicle.
2. Can someone tell me if there is a kit of said vehicle avaiable.
3. Can someone please tell me that the aforesaid kit costs less than th GDP of Luxembourg.
4. Failing #2 and or #3, can someone point me to a suitable donor kit to bash yon beastie.(thus can be as simple as a kit with the correct tyres & headlamps)
5. With all of this in mind and with the available info, could one or more of our eastern experts steer me toward plans/drawings/photos of the aforesaid beastie.
For anyone interested I am hoping to include this yobbo in the upcoming Heavy Haulers or Seeing RED campaigns...(with a little twist)
TIA

Ah, there we go. That is the MAZ-537. There is a resin kit by PST but it ain't cheap, plan on spending agound 300 bucks on that beast.

Unfortunatly I don't know of any kit that would be a suitable donor for this one.

A good reference book would be theRussian Motor Vehicles Manual.

Here is the previous topic that will point you to some MAZ-537 pics: need pic of maz-537 g

Another link to MiniTime

Hope this helps, I will be glad to answer any other questions you have.

D'OH!
I actually POSTED in that thread! Didn't even recognize the vehicle.
Thanks for the links, and yes, 300 bucks is about 250 more than I would want to spend...
I'm sure I'll be back in touch if & when I decide to try a scratch job.

Anyone else...
