Quote - Not a UV-mapper myself I could use your UV-maps. I already prepared a set of "authentic colours" as shaders, with an UV-mapped vehicle I could also make some nice textures, such as Volkspolizei or Feuerwehr.

I think that Polizei or Feurwehr textures can be done with current UV maps. If not I'll check them again when you accept shape.

BTW Trabant was a Volks car ;) Police or civil services use it sometimes, but it were rare accident. Of course today you can see cars like this:

but they are famous, just because they were rare.

Moreover cars in "People's Democracies" were luxury goods. Althought new Trabant was worth few hundreds $ people must save theirs moneys few years to buy it. They did not change car after 3 years. My father had Fiat 126 over 11 years. When it was completly rusty he bought next Fiat and drive it 10 years. Quality of Trabant, Fiat or old Skodas were terrible. People fix them or improve on theirs own, fortunatelly simple construction was very easy to fix, but 30 years ago cars were less authentic then today. It was hard to find replacement parts then cars were fixed with very weird tools :)
