Hi guys! Today I completed a small model. I made this model for a long time (four days). 1/43 scale. Manufacturer of AVD-models. Die cast, PIPE and plastic. OOB. The APPA-4 apron road train was developed in the early 1970s on the territory of the Riga Civil Aviation Plant No. 85. The passenger semi-trailer was installed on the ZIL-130V1 tractor. Serial production began in 1973. It was intended to transport passengers from the terminal to the aircraft ramp, or vice versa. The APPA-4 semi-trailer had a low floor (350 mm). For the purpose of convenient passenger boarding, the semi-trailer was equipped with four doors. The APPA-4 cabin was equipped with a special control panel for the entrance doors. They could be opened in two ways: individually, or all four at once. In total, the semi-trailer could accommodate 110 people. There was no stove in the cabin. It was used in all airports of the Soviet Union. Enjoy viewing.

This is the first time I've seen an AVD model built up. You did a magnificent job on that model! Smooth, clean and sensational work! It is certainly an odd scale; I would love to have this line of trucks in 1/72 scale myself.
Keep them coming, these look sensational.
