There were wheels for Trumpeter’s UAZ-469 before, but the connecton to the wheels was slightly different, so it was ambiguous to apply, so it was reproduced exclusively for the Zvezda kit. It is easier to apply the wheels from the Zvezda set than those for Trumpeter. This was one of the reasons for making it new.
