GAZ 69 (1953) - DeAgostini/IST Models

        GAZ 69 a fost un autovehicul 4x4 produs in Rusia la Gorkovskij Awtomobilnyj Zavod intre 1953 si 1955. Dupa aceasta perioda producta sa mutat la uzina UAZ, dar masina a ramas cunoscuta tot sub numele de GAZ 69. Cea mai comuna a fost varianta in doua usi si prelata, care la nevoie sa putea demonta. GAZ 69 s-a produs sub licenta de catre Aro sub numele de M57 (M de la Muscel). Aro a dezvoltat in continuare modelul, producand Aro M59 si Aro M461 care s-a produs pana in 1975.

        Macheta este produsa de IST Models pt DeAgostini, fiind una dintre cele mai reusite machete din colectie. Am avut ocazia sa compar macheta DeAgostini cu macheta originala IST si singura diferenta sunt ceasurile de bord si bineinteles modul de ambalare, modelul IST avand cutie de plexi. Prelata se poate detasa, fiind vizibile cele doua manete de viteze si bancutele pentru pasagerii din spate. Culoarea este mata, specifica modelelor de armata. A fost prima macheta DeAgostini achizitionata si sunt foarte multumit de ea.

 GAZ 69 (1953) - DeAgostini/IST Models

       GAZ 69 was a 4x4 vehicle, produced in Russia, at  Gorkovskij Awtomobilnyj Zavod between 1953 - 1955. After this, the production was moved to the UAZ plant, but the model remained known as GAZ 69. The most common version was the 2 door, removable soft-top model. GAZ 69, was built under license by Aro, in Romania, by the name M57 (M from Muscel). Then, Aro developed the model, and produced Aro M59 and Aro M461. Aro M461 stayed in production until 1975.

       The scale model is produced by IST Modeles, for DeAgostini, and it's one of the best models from the DeA collection. The soft-top is removable, making the interior with the 2 gear-sticks visible. In the back there are 2 benches for the passengers. The color is matte,  like army models usually have. It was my first DeAgostini models, and I am very pleased with it.
