LADA NIVA - DAKAR 1985 /Spidamodels/ 1:32

That Lada is a real beauty!! I love it! :)
 
Thanks :)

The wheels are 90 percent made of paper (10 percent is putty), this is what they consist of:

......unfortunately I didn't manage to shape the sides of the wheel and I didn't want to do it again so I tried something new...I applied putty to the side of the wheel and using a template that I cut into an arc, I shaped the side...then I repaired it and sanded it and painted the entire wheel black...and as you can see, it can also be done like this... ;)

The model is finished, it's finally disappearing from my desk after 5 years...;)

I just made a simple base, I dusted the car a little in the end...

Thank you, I'm also glad I finally finished it...but I'm surprised that my print hasn't faded in the past 5 years (the model is printed on an inkjet printer) like it has happened with some other models...
I'm cleaning out my closet and I found another old unfinished model...I almost glued this one together about 35 years ago, so maybe I'll finish it now...Does anyone know what it is? ;)

....right, it's a simple model, difficult to compare with Polish models, for example, so it should be taken that way...but it has sentimental value for me, so I'm curious how it will look when finished...;)

...here is a thread with this model:
