The model of the car (prod. in
1980s) that I had during 2002-2003 in Tbilisi, Georgia.
To
the Russians, this car is what the VW Beetle is for the Germans. A 1200
cc V4 air-cooled engine is at the rear of the car. It has a separate
fuel-source heating system, so is superior to the Beetle in that sense.
The fuel pump diaphragm was bad-famed to swell and misoperate often, so
as a precaution I had installed a parallel electric pump system.
The
model initially.
I split the model and
stripped the whole paint.
I
painted the inside.
I painted the body,
then painted the aluminum strips and door handles, and applied a clear
coat all over.
I applied Bare Metal Foil on the
tail lights and colored with transparent glass paints.
I painted the front turn signals
with glass paint and applied the decal strip that I prepared on the
computer.
I
covered the bumpers with Bare Metal Foil, and glued the licence plate
on the front bumper.
I
assembled the model. Here are the finished photos:
The
original car's photos.
