The Ural-4320 Is a general purpose off road 6x6 truck produced at the Ural Automotive Plant In Mlass, Russia for use In the Russian Army. Introduced In 1976, It Is still In production today. The wheel arrangement for the Urai-4320 was designed for transporting cargo, personnel and trailers on all types of roads and terrain. One of these versions Is the URAL 4320/ATZ-5, a tanker truck used In aerodromes for the supply of fuel to aircraft. The Hungarian brand, Balaton Modell, specializes In full resin models, vehicle kit conversions and postwar 1:72 aircraft. The finesse Is really very good, being resin models they reach a truly extraordinary level of detail. They have recently released this, their first complete resin model In 1:48. From the moment I opened the box, I was Impressed with the quality of the parts. Aside from the parts In resin, a sheet of decals provides markings for 3 versions, Russian, Hungarian and German, along with photoetch and a piece of film to make glaze the cab. I was Impressed by the wheels, they really are of excellent quality and give a purposeful look even In 1:48, they are huge! The build Is really simple but I follow certain steps prior to building a model In resin, one of them is to start with the separation of the moulding blocks from each piece and cataloging them so that they are easily Identified. I also clean the parts with hot water and a few drops of detergent to remove all dust and dirt that Is generated In handling resin. With the parts prepared and dried, I started with the chassis and cab, and the fit of parts Is very good making for an enjoyable build.
