ScaleX GAZ-66 Ordinary Wheel Set 1:35 Accessory For Trumpeter 1:35 Model Kits

3D-Printed Wheel Set (Ordinary) for GAZ-66 by Trumpeter

To make your GAZ-66 model truly convincing, we conducted in-depth research on the real truck’s wheels — studying photographs, blueprints, and available physical references. This allowed us to reproduce them with maximum accuracy: every detail, curve, and imperfection precisely matches the real vehicle.

3D printing enabled a level of detail that traditional rubber wheels simply can’t replicate. The result? A visibly more realistic look on your finished model — lifelike presence, a sense of mass and weight, and highly detailed tread and sidewalls.

This is more than a parts upgrade — it’s a new level of realism that makes your model look like a true miniature replica of an actual truck.

Front Wheel Step (Crown)

The set includes two types of hub step plates — single and double — both of which were historically used on the real GAZ-66. These step plates fit perfectly into their mounting positions.

Note: This element should be installed so the inflation tube lines up precisely with the one on the hub.

Did you know? The step plate (or crown) is designed to help the driver and passenger climb into the cab more easily.

GAZ-66 — The Legendary Soviet 4×4 Military Truck

The GAZ-66 is a full-time 4×4 off-road truck produced from 1964 to 1999. It was widely used by the Soviet Armed Forces and throughout the Eastern Bloc. Thanks to its simple design, reliability, and outstanding off-road capabilities, it became a backbone vehicle for motorized infantry units. Nicknamed “Shishiga,” the GAZ-66 earned a reputation as a rugged and versatile workhorse.

Nearly one million units were produced, and the GAZ-66 remains popular today among military enthusiasts and scale modelers worldwide.
