Thanks to AlexDad and LovelyPL for the guides, and thanks to michaeldoll1996 for the tip.
If you’d like to see another vehicle made, feel free to leave any suggestions. I’ll be focusing (mostly) on Western vehicles that have been exported to Eastern Europe, and older equipment to help make early starts more fleshed out, especially pre-1960.
