Some vehicles in the Civil War years they can be white with Red patriotic slogans

I think it's a model of the Russo-Balt armoured car - these were built in St Petersburg after the 1917 revolution based on Russo-Balt chassis made in Riga (now Latvia). Russo-Balt was Russia's first car manufacturer, started making cars and trucks in Riga in 1909.

Yours came out great Lehcyfer, is that the original scale, 1-48 (?).

I didn't change anything so it is in 1-43 scale as designed.
Here with something smaller
