Lights on

Lights are bright enough to be a bit "annoying" at night

Engine has been slightly improved by adding wiring

Footrests move freely on both sides

A folding ladder (on the left in the mounts) can be removed and opened, but this is not very convenient

This is how light switches and battery pack are made. Top switch is a common one, followed by turn signals, signalization, front light and auxiliary lighting. Block of resistors for adjusting the brightness of all groups of LEDs is hidden immediately behind the switch block.
For new models with lighting, I have already designed and ordered custom micro PCBs with triggers and built-in resistors to control the light with buttons, not switches.

I have a soft spot for the ZIL131. As a fire truck it is a nice subject too. Well done model made special with the lighting. Some more pics are appreciated. Your model deserves it.

Thanks for your attention to my model and such a high appreciation of it 🙂
It's nice to see that I'm not only one interested in it. I added more photos with descriptions.

One of my favorites too. Very well done and improved with burning lights. Modelling at its best!
