Perhaps it is just me, but this Soviet era truck also seems as if it could be in any time into the far future. link Ural 4320

Is it just one vehicle per kit? |

Most large heavy trucks have changed very little in the last 50 years, there's little reason to assume they'd change much more (externally) in the next 50. |

yes one truck per box, we have an office body to fit this planned great truck though, very Russian! |

Agreed – those old Russkie trucks last forever |

Useful truck! Apparently they have a M35 truck coming soon too, listed on Hannants website. Cheers, Kev |

Very nice, but there are so many other vehicles I'd prefer, instead. |

In the future, and not very far since available today, the lorry will be autonomously driven, in fact the storage area/bed will encompass almost the complete chassis other than the engine and related mechanisms. Deleting the driver, steering, etc and placing a small recepticle on the roof would suffice however, and make it easier to paint, too. |

Condotta: I have been thinking the same thing, at least for settled areas. But in a Post-Apocalypse, or alien world in a war zone, Autonomous control might not be the best option. Nice thing is, this is a polystyrene kit, so modifications are easy. |

@Condotta: Still going to have some space for a gunner and some people to stay out of the weather. Might see powered trailers that are nothing but a cargo box, though. |

Just my own opinion but I would think the Ural Motorcycle would be the best P.A. vehicle. |
