The Trumpeter 1/72 Camion-Zil-157 Fuel Truck Replica captures the practical look of a classic Soviet fuel carrier. Known for its dependable chassis and simple bodywork, the Zil-157 is well represented here with accurate shapes and visible surface detail. This model offers a neat example of Cold War logistics in a size that is easy to display with other 1/72 subjects.
The original Zil-157 served as a backbone for refuelling operations across varied conditions, and this kit echoes that no-nonsense utility. The 1/72 scale keeps parts small but recognisable, allowing builders to reproduce the trucks proportions and key fittings with careful painting and assembly.
Assembly is straightforward for those comfortable with small-scale builds, though precise gluing and trimming are needed to achieve neat joins. The moulding quality supports accurate assembly and the final model displays well once detailed and weathered.
