An early GAZ-66 would be great. Will help me avoiding the Trumpeter kit.

Since I’m making this post with my laptop on my lap while waiting at one of Moscow’s airports, please bear with me.

Decent free internet in a public place.
It turned out that working like this is more comfortable than in a chair: a standing desk-like setup.


I will post the rest soon, but it will be from another country.
PS. You should understand that the catalog was published in Russian. I’ve done my best to translate it for you.

The flight’s departure was postponed, so I’ll still have time to show you a little more.

The 1/35 civilian Kamaz dump truck has been on my bucket list for a while. I’m hopeful 2026 makes it happen!

I’m posting the remaining pages of the catalog in one package—you’ll figure it out later.


PS Again at the airport, but this time in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.
And here, too, there’s good free public internet.
