I can't read Russian, but I have enough to know that "CCCP" is translated here as "USSR."  That helps date this 1/43 ambulance.

John and other members of Forum 24:   I humbly apologize for this post.  I post on Forum 43 and hit the wrong button, I guess.  I have tried to erase this transgression without success.  I'm afraid that my only entry into your scale is a FM Packard that is a prized (but vastly overlarge) treasure that somehow in years past I have made room for.

I just saw a kit I built a few months ago that also qualifies.  It was fun!

Thanks for the great pictures on Forum 24.  I often look at your fine posts.   David H

On the top it says "Light Automobiles USSR" 

RAF stands for "Riga Autobus Factory", the model is Latvija

On the side of the vehicle reads "Rapid Medical Aid"

These were made in the late 70's and 80's
