GAZ-66 Ordinary Wheel Set

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.
