Taxi ( Moskvitch)

[hrogers]

Hi Modelers
Did anybody ever build this specific model Moskvitch (Inex Taxi) ?
If not and is interested in this model then I can send it to your email
or via drop box.
I did experience a few problems when I tried to build this model

Well, this kit is designed by Dr. Emil Zarkov, and is available on his web store, for 4 euro, so you can not redistribute the model

But you can show your build, and show any problems you ran into

This is my test model - in black & white

Progress so far : Chassis with seats - gear lever attached
The gear lever is suppose to be on the ground floor - I lift it up from the ground floor

Side view
As I had problems with my 1st try I decided to start from another angle
Sides of the body and front bonnet was my start point to see where my 1st problem was, there after I attached the body to the chassis
And there was one of the problems the roof was not the same size as the body it was narrow - Therefore the sides of the body needed to bend inwards so it can fit to the body.
Problem 2 the rear side where the seats are expand the body panel outwards again. so the side panels of the body is not in a straight line

View of the body attached to the roof - not nice looking need a lot of cover up work

I built this model some years ago, and am sure it was a legitimate free download.


The main issue I found was that the rear wheels didn't line up with the wheel arches.
