Would like to introduce here several vehicles on chassis ZIL-131. All built models are remodeled by ICM and myself. The kit from ICM can be build very well, so it was possible to build several types of vehicles.
I will start with the transport truck ZIL-131 2T7, it was used as a loading vehicle for the launch vehicle KUB. Here are the pictures of the finished model.

Best regards truck MAN

Great work on your zil. We don't usually see unique logistical vehicles like this very much.

Here are pictures of the construction of the model. Everything was made of plastic.

Here is another model on vehicle ZIL-131. It is the Rammfähre KMM, the initial kit is the ZIL-131 from the company ICM. The conversion of the model was made of plastic.

What is the purpose of the vertical posts?
Welchen Zweck haben die aufrechtstehenden balken ?
/ Robin

Hallo Robin

Das senkrecht stehende Gastell dient zum hochziehen des Hammers, der dann von oben fallengelassen wird und den Balken in den Flussgrund einschlägt. Die Balken wurden mit Schwimmfahrzeugen an die Fähre befördert oder direkt im Wasser rangeschwommen. Für die Soldaten eine sehr schwere Arbeit.Der Komplex Fähre bestand aus mehreren Fahrzeugen und Sägeaggregaten,die zum zurecht schneiden der Balken benötigt wurden.
Hier eine Skizze vom Aufbau der Fähre

Hello Robin

The vertical guest is used to pull up the hammer, which is then dropped from above and strikes the beam in the river bottom. The beams were transported by float to the ferry or swung directly in the water. For the soldiers a very heavy work. The ferry complex consisted of several vehicles and sawing units, which were needed to trim the beams.
Here is a sketch of the construction of the ferry

Thanks!
A sort of bridge building pontoon or work platform.
