Russian Vintage Limousine, 1939 Zis 102 Limo

Once in a while I get a cheap (pricewise) and plasticky 1/43 diecast that captured my fancy and gave me room to do some detailing on its body and interiors.  This De Agostino model of a Russian limousine, the Zis 102, said to have been the car used by Lenin and Stalin is one of them. The model has a excellent casting mold with deep lines that allowed for removing some paints to expose the metal to give an illusion of a chromed edge including door handles and hinges.

  The original with an all black interior and poorly packaged,.  Had to use a different displace case.
