ZIL-135 I-159 Ordinary Wheel Set for Trumpeter, 1:72

To make your model of the legendary heavy ZiL-135 chassis look as realistic as possible, we have developed a highly detailed set of 3D-printed wheels featuring I-159 tires in size 16.00-20, characteristic of this series of Soviet heavy military vehicles.

The sets are designed for Trumpeter kits in 1/35 and 1/72 scale and are available in two versions:

• Ordinary — wheels with standard geometry for a clean, “factory-style” stance of the model;
• Weighted — wheels with a load effect that reflects the vehicle’s weight and creates a more natural tire deformation.

Each set was created using photographs of real vehicles, technical drawings, and reference materials. This allowed us to accurately reproduce the distinctive tread pattern of the I-159 tires, the correct wheel rim proportions, and the sidewall details.

High-resolution resin 3D printing ensures crisp detail and surface quality that significantly surpass standard plastic wheels included in conventional kits.

These wheels are an excellent upgrade for ZiL-135 family models and will help make your build more expressive and realistic — whether for display models or detailed diorama projects.

ZiL-135 — a heavy multi-axle chassis for missile and specialized systems

ZiL-135 is a Soviet eight-wheeled high-mobility chassis designed to carry heavy military systems and equipment. The vehicle featured a distinctive differential-less transmission, twin engines, and independent wheel suspension, providing excellent mobility even in difficult terrain.

The most well-known variants were used as platforms for multiple launch rocket systems, including the BM-27 “Uragan”, as well as other specialized military installations.

Thanks to its unusual design and distinctive silhouette, the ZiL-135 has become a popular subject among scale modelers and is often used as the centerpiece of large military dioramas.
