Definitely not airworthy – and yet built as a model: a ZiL 131 double!
To be honest: lorries, whether used for civilian or military purposes, are not my area of interest and hold little fascination for me. This immediately leads to the next confession: I don't know much about the subject either! So of course [...]
KP 1/72 MiG-17PF

E-75 s.Pz.Jg Ausf.M 10,5cm L/62 (1/72)
E-75 variant as heavy tank destroyer.
I derived "Ausf.M" from the Marder III Ausf.M, which indicates a design with a centrally mounted engine.
The E-Tank series is quite popular with me, because I find the design with the many [...]
