Nice addition to your line up!

Cool paint scheme on this one, will the cab louvers be in PE?

Thanks for all the kind words, the job is made by Akos.
We need to finish the instructions manual and the box-art,
all other parts are made, so we take orders on the item.

Ian! The Zil 131 will be made surely, I think the Frog also.
