Nysa 522 "Milicja" (1968) - DeAgostini/IST Models

      Dubita Nysa a fost produsa in orasul Nysa din Polonia, din 1958 pana in 1994. Bazata pe aceeasi platforma ca Zuk, platforma imprumutata de la Warszawa, Nysa a avut un design rotunjit, spre deosebire de Zuk, care avea un design unghiular. A fost mult mai buna si mai confortabila pentru transportul de pasageri. In perioada de inceput a productiei, a fost singura duba disponibila, din aceasta cauza fiind folosita intensiv ca Ambulanta si ca masina a Militiei. Varful de popularitate a fost atins in anii '70, iar pana la oprirea productiei uzina din Nysa a fabricat 380.575 de masini. Modelul 522 a fost ultimul din gama Nysa. Nysa a fost exportata in toate tarile Blocului Estic, dar si in cateva tari din Asia sau Africa. In Romania au ajuns cateva dupa '89. Erau o priveliste destul de comuna pana prin 1995, fiind una din masinile micilor SRL-uri, alaturi de Barkas, Zuk, Transit sau T2.

      Macheta reproduce modelul folosit de Militia Poloneza. Este produsa de IST ca numar special pt DeAgostini Polonia. Nu a fost produsa deocamdata in varianta "de strada". Macheta este frumoasa, cu detaliile specifice de militie foarte frumos reproduse. Grila are gaurile reproduse fin, dar nu perforate, farurile au nituri. Chederelor groase le-ar fi stat mai bine negre, iar cromul ce margineste capota motorului nu este reprodus. Personal, imi place mult aceasta masina, de aceea am si facut un mic efort sa o achizitionez, fiind o macheta destul de rara.

Nysa 522 "Milicja" (1968) - DeAgostini/IST Models

      The Nysa van was produced in the city of Nysa in Poland, between 1958-1994. While based on the same platform as the Zuk (taken from Warszawa), Nysa had a rounded design, unlike the angular Zuk. It was much better and confortable as a people carrier. In the first year of production it was the only abailable van, this is why it was extensively used as a Ambulance and Miltia car. It was very popular in the 70s. Until 1994 when the production ceased, about 380.000 Nysas were made. The 522 was the last model. Nysa was exported to all the East Block countries, but also in some countrie from Asia and Africa. In Romania, some were imported in the early '90. It was very popular between the small emerging companies here.

      The scale model replicates the model used by the Polish Militia. It is made by IST as a special series for DeAgostini Poland. It was not produced yet as a street-version. It is very beautiful and well made, with all the specific details for a police car. The front grille has fine holes, not perforated, the headlights have rivets. The window gaskets should be black, and there are some chrome parts missing. I like this model very much, that's why i made some effort to purchase it. It's a quite rare model.
