UAZ 3909 from Zvezda, 1/35. Pt. 1
Greetings to the members of the forum.
This time I want to show you one of the last kits under construction.
It is the UAZ 3909 van, from Zvezda, in 1/35 scale.
The reality is that I was surprised by the quality of the kit, comparing it with the Zvezda kits of some decades ago.
The level of detail is very good, and even better is the fit of the parts. I only had to scratch complete some details of the rear cargo box and a handle on the front doors.
If I have to criticize the kit, it's the transparent parts. They are made of a very soft plastic, they scratch easily and become opaque when in contact with alcohol or thinner.
Another detail to take into account is that, for reasons unknown to me, the rear bumper support does not appear in the kit. According to the instructions, they are part of the chassis spars, but these end abruptly, without the bracket. I had to scratch build them (see the last two pictures).
Another detail to take into account is the engine grille. There are two options: solid or openwork, to fit a grille... but the kit does not come with a grille.
When I finish with the painting phase, I'll show you the finished kit.
I hope you like it and greetings to all.
It’s great, but please put future installments into one of the groups WIPs.
Indeed a very detailed kit, Juan @juanravi73
Very nice work done already.
If you want to make your progress more easily visible it might be a good idea to put it into one of the group builds as proposed by George @chinesegeorge
Great kit and fantastic progress so far, Juan!
That looks like a neat little van, and 4 wheel drive too. Nice scratch building on the interior details. Very nice so far, I can't wait to see it all finished.

Nice and interesting change of pace (which is a positive thing), this is a project
I will look forward to Juan.
Is there a second part of this particular build?
There is a second part...I finished it months ago. I have to make time to take some good photographs. In fact, I have other finished models that I haven't shown yet: Pucará 1/48, Sikorsky S-51 1/48, Rolls Royce and Austin armored vehicles 1/35, MT-LB 1/35...
