That Chernobl Monitoring truck is interesting.
Among the many hats Ive worn during the span of my career, one was that of a community water system consultant. One of my clients was a mobile home park near my home in the So Cal desert. This mobile home park is up the road (the ONLY thing up the road!) from a movie/TV set called 4 Aces. It's a gas station/diner/motel in the California desert that you may know as the location where NCIS Director Jenny Shepherd met her end. So this mobile home park has been there since the early 1950s. They have 2 water wells on opposite corners of the 10 acre site to provide for the park's needs. In the late 1990s, the US EPA through the local County Health Department finally got around to testing the water from the wells for radioactive elements. The Health Dep't rep responsible for this place is a lady then recently relocated from doing the same job in Poland before she met and married her So Cal musician husband when he was on tour. Her area in Poland was right down river and just across the border from Chernobl. Her community got it's drinking and bathing water from the river that Chernobl used to cool the reactors. So after the melt down, she had to monitor the radioactivity of the water at their pump station taking the water out of the river and also across the border at the Chernobl power plant and even from inside it. It turned out that the water from the mobile home park wells is several times more radioactive than anything they ever saw at Chernobl. The US Surgeon General's office got involved and investigated the health record of EVERYONE who had ever lived at that mobile home park and found no problems from the radiation. But the EPA insisted that a different water source be provided and I designed a pipeline connecting the park to the community water system for my town and passing right across the road from 4 Aces and arranged the financing to pay for it. So the subject of the model kit hits close to home. Even if Chernobl is like 9,000 miles from my home.
Under another hat...I did a bunch of fabricating and carpentry work for 4 Aces on that set and another several miles to the east.

I think they would make great Apocalyptic weathered vehicles and dios. There are still a few of these kits out there, for around $73 US.
