She’s looking fantastic Pawel!!!
I love the safety vest on the seat!
Gamera - thank you very much for your kind words!
It was one of those last minute ideas - I’ve caught a glimpse of it on my master reference photo looking at it for the Nth time…
Hi Pawel. I’ve only just found this thread and have read it from the beginning. A wonderful model by a very competent modeller. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, that looks amazing. Your paint work is on point. Excellent work!

Hello everybody!
After adding some extra details like mirror arms made of wire (one of the plastic ones was broken in the box) and the missing roof marker lens the build is now officially finished - regrettably the war is still going on, and worse still people working vehicles like this one - heating network emergency service have lots and lots of work to do repairing the bomb raid damage in the cities. I would like this build to be a tribute to those hard working people - and now the pictures!:
As a reminder, here’s what I was aiming for:
And how it turned out:
Thanks for reading and special thanks to my friends from this forum who commented - your attention helped me get through this build and made it this much more enjoyable!
Have a nice day

Very nice. It came out looking great, and just like the actual vehicle. Great job.
Well done.

Incredible! All I can say is I am truly impressed. Amazing work.

Pawel, Outstanding work on your ZiL. It looks every bit the part of a hard working truck. The interiors are a treat to see, as well. I am so glad I “rescued “ your build thread from where my stupid email provider mistakenly put it. Stay safe and well.
That is a slendid build. The open window is a masterful touch.
Hello!
I’d like to revive this thread to honour all the people using this vehicle in real life to reapir the heating network in Charkiv, Ukraine. This network was again attacked by Russia this night, breaking an agreement.
When I built it in the beginning of 2023 I was hoping the war would end before I finished my build. Three years later tha war is still raging and people who did nothing wrong are suffering. Let us hope this war ends soon!
Have a nice day
Paweł
