MAZ 543/MAZ-7310 V-203 Sagged Wheel Set for Trumpeter and Meng

Set of 3D-Printed V-203 Sagged Wheels for MAZ-543 / MAZ-7310 by Trumpeter and Meng

To make your model of the iconic Soviet multi-purpose chassis MAZ-543 / MAZ-7310 look even more realistic, we’ve created a set of highly detailed 3D-printed wheels with V-203 tires, available in two versions:

• Ordinary Wheels — for a clean, balanced appearance of your model;
• Sagged Wheels — to replicate the weight of the heavy vehicle and add a natural tire stance

Each wheel is produced with an accurate reproduction of the V-203 tread pattern, rim geometry, and sidewall details used on real MAZ heavy chassis. While developing the set, we studied original photographs, technical drawings, and documentation to capture the authentic proportions and characteristic features of the actual tires.

Thanks to photopolymer 3D printing, every wheel offers crisp detailing, sharp edges, and precision far beyond what standard plastic kit parts can provide.

The wheels are compatible with Trumpeter and Meng kits in 1/35 scale, and with Hobby Boss and Revell kits in 1/72 scale. This wheel set is the perfect finishing touch for any MAZ-543 / MAZ-7310 model — enhancing realism, adding weight and character, and giving your build a more convincing and expressive appearance.

MAZ-543 / MAZ-7310 — legendary Soviet heavy multi-purpose 8×8 chassis

The MAZ-543 / MAZ-7310 family is a series of heavy four-axle chassis with an 8×8 wheel configuration, developed at the Minsk Automobile Plant for transporting oversized military equipment, missile systems, and specialized machinery. Designed in the 1960s, these vehicles became the foundation for dozens of systems — from rocket launchers to engineering and firefighting equipment.

The chassis was powered by the robust D-12A-525 diesel engine and its later modifications, offering exceptional off-road capability, large V-203 tires, and the ability to carry extremely heavy and long loads.

The MAZ-543 / MAZ-7310 remains one of the most recognizable and influential heavy vehicles of the Soviet era — a true symbol of engineering ambition that still fascinates modelers, historians, and military vehicle enthusiasts worldwide.
