Overview of the Souvenir Moskvich 433 1:43 Format (Made in the USSR)

Sou­venir mod­el Moskvich 433 in 1:43 for­mat is suit­able for peo­ple who col­lect sim­i­lar mod­els. This is not to say that this is a toy that a child can play with. This mod­el is more intend­ed for demon­stra­tion and his­to­ry. This is a small class mod­el, the body type of the Moskvich is a van and is a car­go-pas­sen­ger car.

Vehicle interior and exterior

The machine is made of met­al, glass is made of trans­par­ent plas­tic. The salon of the mod­el is dec­o­rat­ed believ­ably. The seats, front pan­el and steer­ing wheel are plas­tic.

Com­pared to a real car, the tail­gate con­sists of two parts that open up and down.

Believ­ably made chas­sis wheels front and rear pair. Caps are attached to the discs, rub­ber tires with treads are worn on the discs with caps.

On the front of the car, under the hood, there is a sil­ver-col­ored grille on which 4 head­lights are “installed”. In the mid­dle is the Moskvich logo. Under the grille, the bumper is made of plas­tic and coat­ed in the same col­or as the front grille.

If you look under the hood of a Moskvich, we will find a copy of the engine. Maybe not every­thing match­es, but the view is good.

The rear of the car is made sim­pler actu­al­ly, like the whole mod­el. Iron brake lights are paint­ed over with red paint, and under the glass on the back door, there should be a license plate and under it a fuel tank cap for refu­el­ing gaso­line.

The bot­tom is made of met­al and cov­ered with sil­ver paint. In the same place, the details of the bot­tom are approx­i­mate­ly shown and there is a record of the mod­el and where this mod­el was cre­at­ed. We see a bolt with the help of which you can dis­as­sem­ble the car and sell it for parts.

Dismantling and assembly of Moskvich

We unscrew the bolt with a flat screw­driv­er and care­ful­ly remove the met­al bot­tom on which two wheelsets are attached. After the low­er base has been removed, the hood itself falls off, behind it we pull out the front bumper and care­ful­ly remove the glass. From the engine com­part­ment we take out the motor, which was poor­ly attached. When assem­bling, I will put it on glue.

I pre­pared a dust brush so that after the assem­bly of the mod­el it looked new­er and decid­ed to add some col­or. I paint­ed the plas­tic inte­ri­or black and red. It turned out well!

Assembling the car Moskvich 433

We glue the motor first. I applied super glue, which dries quick­ly. We care­ful­ly wipe the glass and put it in its place. We insert the paint­ed inte­ri­or after the glass. Then comes the hood, put it so that the hook catch­es on the bot­tom of the car. If it does not catch, the hood will fall out when opened. But this is done at the very end of the assem­bly. Care­ful­ly lay the bot­tom of the car and tight­en the bolt. There are no spare parts left, which is good. Now Moskvich looks a lit­tle pret­ti­er and new­er.

History of this model

The machine was bought in the city of Sara­tov around 1988 — 1989 for Sovi­et rubles. The mod­el was sold in a box with a trans­par­ent film, which was not pre­served by the statute of lim­i­ta­tions. All these years the car stood on the shelf and flaunt­ed for the guests. The day came and gave her a lit­tle tun­ing. Today, this mod­el can be pur­chased on Aliex­press, but only for a dif­fer­ent price.
