Fuel Trucks



BZ-35


A fuel truck on the ZIS-6 chassis.
(Model finished 2001)




A kit from AER built straight out of the box






ZIS-5BZ


Another Soviet fuel truck. This time on the ZIS-5 chassis.
(Model finished 2001)




This is also a AER kit built out of the box





Autocar CA


The BZ-35 refueller was built on the ZIS-6 chassis. This was a Soviet made Autocar truck.
I decided to build my PST-kit as a longer Autocar CA. I was inspired by a pic of a KLM DC-2 being refuelled from a similar truck.
(Model finished 2018)



With a longer chassis I needed a longer tank.




So now the Soviet ZIS-6/BZ-35 has been turned into an American Autocar CA.





I filled the recess in the radiator and took the wheels from a Hasegawa CCKW truck. It only took me 15 years to finish this.


Opel Blitz


I painted the Academy T-stoff truck in civilian colours, but I wasn't happy with the look of it.
(Model finished 2018)



So, I added plastic card to it to alter the look a bit.




With a new rear fender, it looked more like a civilian truck.





But there is still something that feels off. Perhaps the total lack of rear lights?
