Lada 1500 (1973) - DeAgostini/IST Models

        Lada este numele de export al marcii rusesti AvtoVAZ (Avtomobilniy Volzhsky Avtomobilny Zavod). Numita si VAZ 2103, Lada 1500 a fost lansata in 1973 si a fost o imbunatatire a Ladei 1200 (VAZ 2101). Lada 1500 are la baza tot Lada 1200, care la randul ei a fost produsa sub licenta Fiat, fiind identica cu Fiat 124. Printre imbunatatirile aduse s-au numarat un motor nou de 1.5 L , faruri duble si alte cateva elemente de design.

        Macheta, produsa de IST Models pt DeAgostini este destul de bine reprodusa dar imi lasa impresia ca are masca prea lata. Are niste detalii pe care alte machete DeAgostini nu le au, dintre care ies in evidenta scaunele maro, spre deosebire de restul interiorului care este negru. Chederele si trimurile sunt toate argintii, dar aerisirile care ar fi trebuit vopsite cu negru au ramas in culoarea caroseriei.

Lada 1500 (1973) - DeAgostini/IST Models

        Lada is the export name of the AutoVAZ (Avtomobilniy Volzhsky Avtomobilny Zavod) car maker. Also named VAZ 2103, Lada 1500 was realeased in 1973 and was an update of Lada 1200 (VAZ 2101). Lada 1500 is still based on Lada 1200, which is was produced under Fiat license (Fiat 124). Among the new features was a new 1.5L engine, double headlights and some design elements and trims.

         The scale model, produced by IST Models for DeAgostini, is well replicated. The front grille looks a bit to wide to me. It has some details that many DeAgostini models don't have. Among these are the seats which are brown, unlike the rest of the interior which is black. The window gaskets and the trims are silver, but some vents that should have been black, remained in the base body color.
