Trumputer 1/72 JIEFANG CA-30 Fuel Truck #1104

The kits are worldwide, I think. As for the original it was a Chinese equivalent of the ZIL-157 3-ton 6 x 6 truck and suited more to both Chinese production and avoiding having to pay licensing fees to the Soviets (!). China has done that with a lot of items-- pay the Soviets for the basic item package, see how it ticks, and then make their own version without paying for the producition rights. Type 59 is like that, and the FANTAN version of the basic F-6 (MiG-19) airframe was another Chinese workaround.

Thanks, think i will get a couple, have plans for may Mig variants, hell have at least 20 decal sheets so must have over a 100 world widewide option

I remember a story during the Viet Nam war that claimed that MiG-21s sent from Russia were arriving with Chinese stencilling. The Chinese had kept the Russian originals as they passed through and shipped their copies to the NVA.

True? No idea. Good story, though.
