Make Cars, Not War!
Drive Ladas, Not Tanks!
Hands Off Ukraine!
Peace in Europe and the World!
This is my response to the Lego Car Blog's recent call to build in blue and yellow in solidarity with Ukraine. It is a Soviet/Russian Lada Нива (Niva) which since its introduction in 1977 has gained popularity worldwide as a both humble and tough 4x4. It is known in some export markets as Taiga, Sport and Bushman. I had the MOC sitting around as a WIP in dark stone grey for a while. I now exchanged the bricks with blue and yellow ones and fine-tuned the build. It is 6 studs wide and in a monochrome version would seat a minifigure. Built with a lot of SNOT work, a few classic hinges and slopes, as well as a hinge plate top (1927/2430) as a rear view mirror.
