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.
