      Barkas B1000 Pick-up este varianta "utilitara" a microbusului Barkas prezentat mai devreme. Camioneta Barkas avea sarcina utila de o tona si era destul de robusta si fiabila. Au aparut si prin Romania dupa 1990, unele mai circuland si azi.

Interiorul este colorat maro, cu ceasurile de bord reprezentate prin decaluri.

Barkas B1000 Pick-up - (1970) - IST Models (Cars&Co Edition)


        Barkas B1000 Pick-up is the utility version of the Barkas minibus presented earlier. The Barkas minitruck had 1 ton payload and it was quite rough and reliable. They were common in Romania too after 1990, some still on the roads today.    


      The scale model is produced by IST Models and it's limited edition to 999 pcs in this color scheme. The model looks excellent with all the details possible at this scale and price, without flaws. The inside is brown, with the dashboard instruments drew by decals.

Robur Garant 30k Omnibus (1956) - IST Models

       Robur Garant 30k a fost un microbuz construit in DDR (Germania de Est), la uzina VEB Phanomen Werke din Zittau, incepand cu anul 1956. A impartit aceasi platforma cu un camion similar in partea frontala. Dispunea de un motor de 3000 cmc care dezvolta 60 de cai putere, si putea transporta pana la 18 persoane.

       Macheta este produsa de IST Models. Este primul autobuz pe care il vad produs de ei si pot spune ca arata foarte bine. Toate detaliile (scari, aeratoare, usite) sunt replicate frumos, iar schema coloristica este intocmai cu a unui model prezent intr-un muzeu din Germania. Oglinzile au "sticla". Stergatoarele sunt putin cam groase, dar este un detaliu care nu ma deranjeaza chiar deloc. Interiorul este complet decorat, avand instrumente de bord, scaune maro, cu barile de sprijin colorate in gri. In poze, l-am pus alaturi de un Barkas pt compararea dimensiunilor.


Robur Garant 30k Omnibus (1956) - IST Models


      Robur Garant 30k was a minibus built in DDR (East Germany), at the VEB Phanomen Werke plant from Zittau, starting from 1956. It shared the same platform with a similar designed light truck. It featured a 60 hp, 3000 cc engine, and was able to carry upto 18 men.

       The scale model is produced by IST Models. It's the first bus produced by them and i can say it looks very good. All the details (stairs, vents, small doors) are nicely replicated, and the color scheme is identical to a model showed into a German museum. The mirrors have "glass". The wipers are a bit thick, but it's not disturbing. The interior is completely decorated, having dashboard gauges, brown seats, with silver handles. I placed it besides a Barkas to compare the dimensions.

IFA w50L (1965) - IST Models/Atlas

      Industrieverband Fahrzeugbau (Asociatia Industriala pentru Constructii de Masini), prescurtat IFA, a fost o uniune a constructorilor de masini din fosta Germanie de Est (DDR). Printre constructori se numarau Trabant, Wartburg, Barkas, Robur, Multicar, Simson si MZ.
      IFA w50L s-a produs in orasul Ludwigsfelde intre anii 1965 si 1990. A fost principalul "cal de povara" al DDR-ului, existand in peste 60 de variante si combinatii. A fost propulsat de un motor de 6560 cc cu o putere de 125 CP, si a existant si in varianta 4x4. Camionul s-a exportat, indeosebi, in tarile din Europa de Est si in Africa.

      Macheta este produsa de IST Models fiind si inscriptionata corespunzator pe sasiu. Vine pe un postament care imita o strada pavata, impreuna cu un pliant de prezentare. Este realizata destul de bine, fiind undeva peste medie, producatorul optand pt varianta camion cu prelata. Toate detaliile si inscriptiile sunt replicate coresounzator atat in fata cat si in spate. Oglinzile au "sticla" iar la interior se disting indicatoarele de bord, replicate cu ajutorul decalurilor. Personal sunt foarte multumit de ea, fiind un model pe care il astept demult la 1:43.



IFA w50L (1965) - IST Models/Atlas

       Industrieverband Fahrzeugbau, shortened IFA was a association between several vehicle constructors from  former East Germany (DDR). Trabant, Wartburg, Barkas were among the constructors.
       IFA W50L was produced in Ludwigsfelde between 1965 and 1990. It had a 125 hp, 6500 cc engine. A 4x4 version also existed. The truck was exported in all the East European countries and Africa

     The scale model is produced and badged by IST Models. It comes with a post that looks like a paved road, and a brochure. It is very well made, above average. All the details and decorations are well replicated. The mirrors have "glass" and the interior has the dashboard gauges replicated by decals. Overall, it is a very good model, much expected at 1:43.

Nysa N59 (1959) - 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 Nysa N59 a fost un facelift al primului model, N57.

      Macheta face parte din colectia DeAgostini din Polonia. Are o realizare solida iar forma este corect reprodusa. Lipsesc mici decoratii cum ar fi chederele si detaliile de interior, lucru normal pt aceste machete low-cost. Grila din fata este replicata doar prin decal-uri fara a fi facuta in relief sau perforata. In spate se gaseste sigla N59 usor lizibila (ca si cele din fata) iar lampile si semnalizarile sunt de culori diferite. Interiorul este corect reprodus, complet negru si este de tip microbuz, cu 4 randuri de scaune. Este una din machetele mele preferate, ale acestei serii.

Nysa N59 (1959) - DeAgostini/IST Models

     The Nysa van was produced in Poland, between 1958 and 1994. Was based on the same platform as Zuk, which was taken from Warsawa. Nysa had a round design compared to the angular Zuk.Was better and very comfortable for passenger transportation. Being the only van of its time, it was very used as ambulance and Militia car. Nysa was produced in 380.575 pcs. Nysa N59 is a facelift of the first model, Nysa N58

    The scale model comes from the Polish DeAgostini collection. It is very solid and correct replicated. Some small decos are missing, but that's ok for its low price. The front grille is not embossed, only decals being used. The logos are easily readable, and the rearlight have different colors. It has a minibus type interior with 9 seats. It's one of my favorites from this collection.

Lada Oka (1988) - DeAgostini/IST Models

     Lada Oka, sau VAZ-1111, cum a fost numita pe piata rusa, a intrat in producte in 1988. A fost proiectata de AutoVAZ dar a fost produsa in uzina SeAZ care pana la acea data produsese cateva micro-masini (SZD, SeAZ). A aparut ca un inlocuitor al ZAZ-ului avand acelasi public tinta. Design-ul sau este de inspiratie asiatica, modelul cu care se aseamana fiind Daihatsu Cuore din aceasi perioada. Contrar unor legende, Lada Oka nu are nimic in comun cu Dacia 500 "Lastun", fiind cel mult o simpla asemanare.

     Macheta, face parte din colectiile DeAgostini, exemplarul meu fiind "inmatriculat" in Polonia. Are o realizare simplista, limitata de pretul la care se gaseste. Nu are greseli majore. Partea frontala este foarte bine replicata, dar cu niturile de rigoare. Siglele sunt deasemenea foarte lizibile, iar jantele sunt replicate fidel, cu gauri.

Lada Oka (1988) - DeAgostini/IST Models

     Lada Oka, or VAZ-1111 as it was named on the Russian market, entered production in 1988. It was developed by the AutoVAZ factory but was produced by SeAZ. SeAZ used to produce some micro-cars (SZD, SeAZ). Lada Oka was meant to replace ZAZ, having the same target. It has asian inspired design, being resemblant with Daihatsu Cuore. Oposite to some legends, it doesn't have abything in common with the Romanian Dacia 500 "Lastun". Maybe they are just resembling a bit.

    The scale model is from the DeAgostini collections, the one that I have being from Poland. It has a medium quality, limited by its price. It does not have big mistakes. The front is very nice replicated, but with rivets at the headlights. The logos are easily readable, the rims are nice made and perforated.

Lada Niva (1977) - DeAgostini/IST Models

    Lada Niva sau VAZ-2121 a fost primul model al producatorului rus AutoVAZ, care nu a fost bazat pe un Fiat. In rusa "Niva" inseamna "teren agricol", "tarla" . Masina a intrat in productie in 1977 si se produce si astazi fara modificari majore. Este foarte populara in Rusia, dar si in alte tari ale caror relief cere o astfel de masina robusta la un pret mic. In Romania, este intens folosita de pasionatii de off-road, excursii sau vanatoare.

     Macheta, produsa de IST Models (PCT) pt DeAgostini este printre primele ca realizare. Detaliile abunda, mai ales pt un model de revista. Are sasiul foarte detaliat reprezentat si nu are erori de replicare. Toate geamurile prezinta chedere argintii si toate emblemele sunt perfect lizibile. Ca in cazul majoritatii autovehiculelor 4x4 de la DeAgostini, nu am nimic de reprosta in afara omisiunilor specifice acestei colectii (nituri si alte mici detalii)

Lada Niva (1977) - DeAgostini/IST Models

     Lada Niva, aka VAZ-2121 was the first model of Russian automaker AutoVAZ, not based on Fiat. In Russian, "Niva" means "crop field". The car entered production in 1977 and is still in production with no major changes since then. It is very popular in Russia but also in other countries with the relief demanding for a tough car at a low price. In Romania, it is used by the people offroad, trips, and hunting enthusiasts.

    The scale model is produced by IST Models (PCT) for the DeAgostini series. It has a lot of nice details, specially when talking about a press release. The chassis is highly detailed with no errors. All the windows have gray trims, and all the logos and emblems are easy readable. Like other 4x4s in this collection, nothing to reproach.

Lada Samara 2109 (1984) - DeAgostini/IST Models

      Lada Samara 2109 reprezinta varianta break/estate in 4 usi a modelului prezentat anterior. A fost in productie in aceasi perioada ca si 2108.

       Macheta este similara ca realizare cu varianta in 2 usi, cu exceptia faptului ca aceasta are aplicate logo-urile pe portbagaj. Pare sa aiba rotile cam mari, iar culoarea mi se pare bine aleasa fiind foarte comuna pe acest model.

Lada Samara 2109 (1984) - DeAgostini/IST Models

      Lada Samara 2109 is the 4+1 doors break/estate of the model previously presented. It was produced the same period as the 2108.

       The scale model is made same style as the 2 door version, except that this has the logos on the rear. It seems to have the wheels a bit to big, and I consider the color well chosen, being very common on this model.

 

  

Lada Samara 2108 (1984) - DeAgostini/IST Models

       Lada Samara sau VAZ 2108 este un autoturism din clasa economica, produs in URSS / Rusia intre 1984 si 2004. Numele de Samara a fost folosit doar pt export, in Rusia fiind vanduta sub numele de VAZ 2108 si poreclita "Sputnik". S-a produs in mai multe variante de caroserie: sedan, coupe, break cu motorizari de 1.1 , 1.3 si 1.5 litri. Design-ul a fost unul autentic rusesc, nefiind copiata sau produsa sub licenta. S-a vandut in toate lumea sub o multime de denumiri.

        Macheta reproduce modelul scurt, in 2 usi, de unde si codul 2108. Este produsa de IST pt DeAgostini. Realizarea este una peste medie, macheta nu are greseli si respecta in totalitate modelul real. Farurile sunt realizate in alt stil, nefiind prinse cu nituri. Blocurile optice din spate sunt monocolore. Stergatoarele si oglinzile sunt bine realizate, iar interiorul este complet negru.
