ZiL (Russian: ЗиЛ - (Завод имени Лихачёва)) is a
major Russian automobile, truck, military vehicle, and heavy equipment manufacturer,
based in the capital of the Russian Federation, Moscow.
The ZiL-131 is a general purpose 3.5 tons 6x6 army
truck designed and made in Moscow.
The model was designed as a general cargo truck. It is also
used as a tractor and some gun carrier (the well-known GRAD 21 system, for
example).
I made an imaginary Iraqi ZU 23 AntiAircraft automatic gun
equipped truck. Every similarity with real things is a coincidence. The model
does not represent any real truck.
For completing this project I used two models: the first
one, a die cast truck made by AvtoIstoria, a Russian truck models producer at
1|43rd scale.

The second one, - ZU 23-2 Anti Aircraftgun, I used an ACE
1|48 plastic kit.

But I wrote enough! Let’s enjoy the ride!
