27:50 - A little correction if I may. The numbers 2 and 6 are not meant "Engine 2 or Engine 6". There were 2 fire stations in Pripyat, Fire Station no. 2 and FIre Station no. 6. Fire Station no. 2 (or VPCh-2, Voenniy Pozharnaya Chast - Military Fire Department) was under military command and it was the Nuclear Power Plant's own dedicated fire department. Fire Station no. 6 was the "civilian" Fire Department for the city of Pripyat itself. Both departments were called to fight the fire, along with many others from other cities, like the Department from Polysskoye, Ivankov, the town of Chernobyl.

@@TheBearScaleModels Probably, I went through multiple sites and not one said that Fire Department 2 or 6 had Zil 131s, they had different types of Zil 130s and Urals. Great looking model nonetheless. I'd like to create a mini diorama with mine, after the scene where the old officer guy goes to the reactor in a Gaz 66 to measure how many roentgens there really are. So without crew and covered in dust.

"not great - not terrible" - :D. I think it looks a lot better than that. Really nice subtle weathering on this one, makes it look like it's in service but at least somewhat cared for. Great job from start to finish.

Nice result!

[@blacklupos]

Looks great and love the colours, I think you needed to show it off more with a turnaround lower down to show of the side views. Nice to know it goes together well :)

Cameraaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!

It´s true, you can´t see the interior but ... it´s there and ... I ... know it - you know? I decided to paint it as real as possible, just to honor this important Truck and it´s important task. Heroes don´t need a Batmobile ... a superduper Helicopter or so, REAL HEROES need a ЗИЛ-131.
