I really like this truck... I've never heard of Red Iron Models before.. will this be in resin or plastic? Hisham

The duty question: where are the KIT PARTS? Also, the chassis on those 3D has nothing in common with the ZiL-131/MMZ-555 dumper on the first picture.

Hello Hisham, They do Soviet / Russsian subjects -- full resin kits of trucks, construction and road equipment. They have a couple of conversions as well. I'd assume this one will be in resin, like the others. Cheers, Tat

LINK I have been wanting some of their stuff for quite some time .....

I have one of their castings; superb!!

Talk about 'lil red truck! I had no idea that Soviet-era trucks might be FUN!

I hope that they would be willing to sell a reduced kit (cab & chassis only) There is a card model LINK that could be used as a template/drawing to create this ZiL-130 based crane truck: There are almost endless variations on the ZiL-130 base / Robin

I was just wondering yesterday about alternatives to the Armada hobby kit for this truck. Sadly, looking at the prices of their other stuff, I won't be able to afford this one as well. Anyone know of a conversion kit to convert the ZiL-131?
