discussion Looking for kits of Russian/eastern bloc civilian vehicles.

[Guest]

I've got an idea for a diorama inspired by the book/game Metro 2033, ideally in 1/35th scale or larger, revolving around a pair of Stalkers going over the wreck of a car. So I'm trying to find kits in these scales of Russian or other manufacture cars that one might find in Moscow in 2013, ideally something identifiable as Russian. If I don't find anything else, I may use Takom's Benz. Along with this, any suggestions for Stalker type figures or other hodge-podge NBC equipped figures?

 

[Guest]

Can you use any of the Meng vehicles(Toyota pickups) or the VW buses from Takom.

 

[Guest]

Well, I could conceivably use any vehicle available for sale in Europe, but I'd like to get something with a Russian feel to it if I can.

Another option is for 1/35 diecast vehicles and weather, adapt as you need.


If you went 1/43 there are diecast vehicles like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LADA-RIVA-2107-dark-blue-scale1-43-Kalinka-Laika-Nova-Fiat-Seat-124-family-/291445764242?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item43db857092 plus more modern.
