The new kit from Bronco is a Russian Zil-131V Tractor Truck, a vehicle that has been used to tow the SA-2 among others.
The Zil-131 is a Russian military 6x6 3.5 - 5 ton truck first introduced in 1967.The Zil-131 replaced the Zil-157 series trucks which appeared in the late 1950's.
It has been built in several versions including cargo truck, tanker, dump-truck and tractor used with several different trailers.

The Zil-131v was the commonly used tractor unit for the SA-2 Guideline Surface To Air missile transporter trailer. It has since been used as a tractor
for other semi-trailers in Russia and by her allies. It is powered by a 150 bhp V-8 petrol engine, giving a road speed of 80 km/h and a range of 650 kilometers.

The all-metal cab has seating for the driver and two passengers.

Over 1 Million Zil-131 series trucks were manufactured from 1967 to 1994. These simple robust trucks were designed for the harshest weather conditions and roughest of roads. Despite its age it is still in service with the Russian military. They have seen action in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

The model features a detailed engine and driver position, optional open doors and hatches and two different fuel tanks to choose from.
