1:100 Ural 4320

Ural-4320 1:100 (Zvezda)

A simple snap-together plastic kit of the Soviet Ural-4320 off-road truck in the small 1:100 scale by Zvezda. The model from the Art of Tactic game range is laid out as snap-fit; the parts click together without gluing and, thanks to the low part count, the build is quick and undemanding.

The real subject

The Ural-4320 is a Soviet and later Russian heavy off-road truck with all-wheel drive, brought into service from the 1970s. It serves to carry troops and materiel and as a chassis for all sorts of bodies and weapon systems. It stands out for its high cross-country ability and rugged construction, which is why it is still widespread today.

Building and painting tips

Thanks to the snap-fit design the model can be built without glue, but we recommend touching the joints with a drop of thin cement for plastic for strength. In 1:100 scale clean edges and restrained painting show to advantage: a base Soviet green, a fine wash in the recesses and a discreet drybrush to bring out the details. Use pigments sparingly so that the small model does not go coarse.

Who the model is for

• Beginners and younger modelers, thanks to the easy build
• Players and collectors of the small 1:100 scale
• Anyone interested in Soviet and Russian trucks
• Builders of mass scenes and supply columns

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
