Trumpeter 01003 1/35 ZIL-157K Soviet Military Truck Model

The Trumpeter 1/35 scale rendition of the Soviet ZIL-157K captures the rugged utility of the original military truck in careful plastic detail. The ZIL-157K is recognised for its straightforward, durable design and long service life across varied terrain, making it a favourite subject for military modellers.

Service Background and Role

First produced in the late 1950s, the ZIL-157K supported logistics and troop movement across challenging landscapes. Its simple 6-cylinder water-cooled engine and robust chassis allowed it to serve as a cargo carrier, troop transporter, and the basis for field artillery conversions.

Build Experience and Detail

This kit provides a rewarding assembly, with 361 plastic parts that recreate cab, chassis and covered cargo bay details. When built the model measures 199 mm long, 67 mm wide and 85 mm tall, making it a strong display piece in a 1/35 collection.
