1:35 Typesetting USSR license plates ~1959-1980 (State Standart 3207-58) (All kits)

Older Soviet plates of 1959 to 1980 in 1:35 scale

The item covers the older pattern of license plates, which was valid from the end of the 1950s until the turn of the 1970s and 1980s. The elements are composed into a combination of your own, so the builder chooses exactly the number needed for the scene.

What the older pattern means for a build

A vehicle with a plate from the wrong era is distracting, even when it is otherwise built faultlessly. The period up to 1980 takes in trucks, buses and cars of the postwar and Khrushchev eras, that is hardware that is very often built in modeling. That is exactly why it is useful to have a set matching the older form at hand instead of automatically reaching for the later pattern.

How to proceed with the application

• first level and smooth the surface for the plate
• mark out the spacing beforehand with a soft pencil
• handle the elements with flat-jawed tweezers, not with your fingers
• stick to the instructions the manufacturer supplies with the set
• once dry, unify the surface with a fine final coat

Who it is for

If you are building a whole group of vehicles into a single scene, think the numbers out in advance so that two completely identical plates do not end up side by side in one scene. The set will suit builders of trucks and utility vehicles in 1:35 scale, creators of scenes from the 1950s to the 1970s and modelers who insist that the small things on a model match the year they have chosen.
