Dacia 1300 (1969) - DeAgostini/IST Models

   Dacia 1300 a aparut 1969 si a avut ca baza Renault 12. S-a produs in 2 variante usor diferite. Una "frantuzeasca" care era identica cu Renault 12 si una care avea tampoanele micsorate si prezenta lampi de marsaririer. Mai multe pe http://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dacia_1300 . Masina asta chiar n-are nevoie de nici o prezentare pt romani.

  Macheta, este produsa de IST Models pentru DeAgostini, si este primul numar al colectiei "Masini de legenda" aparute in Romania in data de 4 martie 2011. Ca si modelul real, macheta are la baza o matrita veche de Renault 12 care prezinta mici defecte de proprtii, cum ar fi de exemplu lungimea farurilor comparata cu cea a semnalizatoarelor. Oglinzile sunt tot aceleasi "urechi de Shrek". Jantele nu sunt chiar replica fidela a celor reale, dar seamana. Transformarea din Renault 12 in Dacia 1300 s-a facut prin schimbarea siglelor.

 Dacia 1300 (1969) - DeAgostini/IST Models

Dacia 1300 was released in 1969 under a Renault 12 license. The name "Dacia" comes from the region were Romania is now. "1300" is the approximative engine displacement. The Dacia 1300 was produced in 2 slightly different version. One, called "The French", was 100% identical to Renault 12 and a later one, which had smaller rubbers bumpers, and featured white backlights. A pick-up and a estate version were also introduced. Dacia 1300 was updated to the Dacia 1310 in 1979.

 The scale model was published by DeAgostini Romania, and it is produced by IXO/IST Models like all the models in the DeAgostini series. It is the first issue of the collection "Legendary Cars", released in Romania at 4 march 2011. Like the real model, the miniature is based onto a Renault 12 mold, which has some small errors of proportion. For example, the headlights which are to short compared to the blinkers. The mirrors are the same "Shrek ears". The rims are almost like the real ones.

 

 

 

 

 

Dacia Duster "Trophee Andros" (2010) - Spark

         Dacia Duster a aparut in 2010 si este primul SUV produs de Dacia. A fost prezentat ca model de competitie ca o avanpremiera a modelului de serie ce urma a fi lansat, in cadrul unei campanii de marketing bine pusa la punct. A fost construit in intregime de Renault Sport, si are putine in comun cu modelul de serie, avand un motor V6 de 3 litri care dezvolta 350 CP, amplasat central. Caroseria din fibra de sticla imita SUV-ul dar varianta de competitie e mai scurta, si mai joasa. Alain Prost a concurat pe aceasta masina la Trofeul Andros, si a iesit pe locul I in cateva etape

         Am reusit, in cele din urma, sa pun mana pe macheta prezentata aici. Este produsa de SPARK, din rasina in serie limitata la 1200 de bucati. Este foarte fin realizata, specific machetelor din acest material, iar rotile sunt fixe. Muchiile sunt bine definite si nu sunt probleme cu aplicarea vopselei sau a decalurilor. Totul este frumos si atent realizat, cele mai impresionante fiind stergatoarele, dintre care unul este amplasat pe geamul soferului. Blocurile optice nu au nituri. Interiorul este detaliat, cu scaune sport inscriptionate si rollbar. Sub macheta se poate vedea o parte din motor, teava de esapament perforata si carligele de remorcare realizate prin fotodecupare. Este prima mea macheta din rasina si este intr-adevar impresionanta.

Dacia Duster "Trophee Andros" (2010) - Spark

          Dacia Duster was launched in 2010, and it's the first SUV made by Dacia. It was presented as a racing model, a preview of the following series model. It was 100 percent build by Reanult Sport, and it has few common features with the series model. It has a 3 liter V6 engine, that could develop 350 hp. The body, made from fiberglass, resembles to the sUV but it's shorter on the racing version, and much lower. Alain Prost raced with this car at the Andros Trophee, and got a first place in a few events.

        I managed, after all to get this scale model, that I presented here. It's produced by SPARK, from resin. It's limited to 1200 pcs. It's very fine made, like resin models usually are, but the wheels are glued and not spinning. The edges are very well defined and there are no problems with the paint and the decals. Everything is beautiful and carefully made, the most impressive being the wipers. The lights don't have rivets. The interior is detailed, with sport chairs and rollbar. Under the model, a part of the engine, perforated exhaust pipe and towing rings are visible.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dacia Duster (2010) - Solido

       Dacia Duster a aparut in 2010 si este primul SUV produs de Dacia. Numele de Dacia Duster a mai existat in anii 80 si nu era altul decat numele de export pentru Aro 10. Dacia Duster a fost prezentat ca si concept la Salonul de la Geneva in martie. Din pacate, sau din fericire (depinde de gusturi), varianta de serie a iesit total diferita de concept. Dacia Duster a vrut, si a reusit sa fie cel mai ieftin SUV, varianta entry-level neavand nici macar tractiune 4x4.

       Macheta, spre deosebire de celelalte din gama, a fost produsa de Solido, iar diferenta de calitate se observa, desi Duster-ul este peste standardul Solido. Primul lucru care mi-a sarit in ochi a fost sigla, care, desi aplicata, nu este reusita, iar inscriptia DACIA nu se vede, spre deosebire de macheta Logan Pick-up, de exemplu, produsa de Eligor. Stopurile au nituri. Imi plac jantele, care sunt replicate frumos, si se vad si discurile de frana si etrierii.

Dacia Duster (2010) - Solido

        Dacia Duster was released in 2010 and it's the first SUV released by Dacia. Not many people know that the name "Dacia Duster" existed in the '80s and it was the name of Aro 10 for some export countries. Dacia Duster was presented as a concept at the Geneva Motor Show in march. Unfortunately, or not (depending of opinions), the final version was totally different from the concept. Dacia Duster was made to be the cheapest SUV and succeeded but the entry-level version does not even have four-wheel drive.

       The scale model, unlike the other modern Dacia range, was made by Solido, and the quality differences are easy to spot, even if the Duster is above Solido's standards. The first thing I did not like was the badge, which is rough made and the DACIA text is not visible. The backlights have rivets. I like the rims, very well replicated, and you can see the brake disks and the calipers.

Dacia Logan Pick-up (2008) - Eligor

        Dacia Logan Pick-up s-a alaturat familiei Logan in anul 2008. A completat golul lasat de vechea Dacie "Papuc", scoasa din productie in 2006. Dacia Logan Pick-Up dispune de o benă a cărei lungime de încărcare este de 1,80 m şi a cărei sarcină utilă este de 800 kg. În plus, cabina beneficiază de un spaţiu de depozitare cu volumul de 300 de litri, situat în spatele scaunelor.

         Macheta, produsa tot de Eligor, este reusita, cu vopseaua aplicata fara greseli. Jantele sunt perforate, iar macheta ruleaza fara sa agate. La interior, spre deosebire de machetele Logan anterioare are si oglinda retrovizoare. Sigla noua Dacia, prezenta pt prima data la acest model este frumos si clar redata. Enjoy!

Dacia Logan Pick-up (2008) - Eligor

          Dacia Logan Pick-up joined the Logan family in 2008. It filled the gap left by the old Dacia "Shoe", which stopped production in 2006. Dacia Logan Pick-up features a 1.8 m flatbed and can carry up to 800 kg. Also, the cab has a 300 liter luggage space behind the front seats.

          The scale model, by Eligor, is very successful made, with a excellent paint job. The rims are perforated and it runs very smooth. At the interior, this one has the rear-view mirror, unlike some of the other Logan scale models. The new Dacia badge, seen for the first time on a Logan scale model, it very beautiful made and easy to read. Enjoy!

Dacia Logan AT - Advanced Tuning - Red (2005) - Eligor

        Dacia Logan AT a fost prezentata la Salonul International Auto Bucuresti in 2005. A fost proiectul unui tanar inginer, absolvent al facultatii de Inginerie Aerospatiala din Brasov, pe nume Bogdan Urdea. Proiectul a fost mai intai realizat cu ajutorul soft-urilor de grafica 3d, unde i s-au adus imbunatatiri pe parcurs si a beneficiat de prezentari (randari) spectaculoase. Tuning-ul, desi exagerat, dupa cum a recunoscut chiar autorul, arata totusi bine si puncteaza si mai bine la capitolul spectacol.

       Macheta este produsa de Eligor. Reproduce conceptul lui Bogdan Urdea in proportie de 95%, mici diferente fiind sesizabile printre altele la bara fata. Jantele aftermarket sunt frumos realizate iar prezenta discurilor si etrierilor de frana care nu se invart odata cu roata surprinde placut. La interior modelul are aceleasi scaune sport Toora prezente si pe macheta LoganCup, iar volanul este unul modificat, mai mic, specific masinilor tunate.


Dacia Logan AT - Advanced Tuning - Red (2005) - Eligor

       Dacia Logan AT was presented at the Bucharest International Auto Show in 2005. It was the project of a young engineer, graduated from the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, from Brasov. Its name is Bogdan Urdea. The project was, initially, developed with 3d graphics software, where it was improved and got some spectacular renderings. The tuning, exagerated, as the author himself admited, looks very good and its even better for showing off.

       The 1:43 model is made by Eligor. It replicates 95% of the Bogdan Urdea's project, some small differences being visible on the front bumper. The after-market rims are very nice and the brake calipers and disks which don't spin with the wheel are very effective. At the interior, the model has the same Toora seats like the Logan Cup model, and the steering wheel is and after-market one, similar with the ones that tuned cars often have.

Dacia Logan "Politia Rurala" (2006) - Eligor

           In 2006, dupa ani de umblat pe biciclete sau cu masinile personale politistii din mediul rural au primit in dotarea posturilor pe care le deserveau masini noi noute marca Dacia Logan. Astfel, cei care fusesera ceva mai norocosi pana atunci si aveau un Aro invechit sau vreo Dacie 1300 au renuntat la ele si au luat in primire noua masina de serviciu.

           Macheta, produsa tot de Eligor, reproduce cu succes modelul de Politie. Spre deosebire de celelalte machete Logan, aceasta vine cu jante diferite, negre, care le reproduc pe cele de tabla, prezente la Logan-urile entry-level. Oglinda retrovizoare lipseste si de la aceasta macheta, iar blocurile optice din spate au nituri de prindere vizibile.


Dacia Logan "Politia Rurala" (2006) - Eligor

           In 2006, after years of traveling with bikes or their own cars, the policemen from the rural areas got for they police stations, brand new cars Dacia Logan. So, the ones who where lucky until then and had an old Aro or a Dacia 1300 for doing their job, they took their new service vehicle.

            The scale model, at 1:43, is made by Eligor too, and it successfully replicates the Police car. Unlike the other Logan scale models, this one has different rims, in black, that replicate the alloy sheet rims mounted on the entry-level Logan. The rear-view mirror is missing from this model, and the backlights have visible rivets.

Dacia Logan Cup (2007) - Eligor

         Renault Sport Technologies a dezvoltat trei kit-uri adaptabile pe modelul Dacia Logan 1.6 MPI (90 cp) pentru utilizarea lor in curse pe circuit sau in raliuri (asfalt sau macadam). Transformand Loganul intr-o masina mai placuta si mai sigura pentru condus, scopul lui Logan Cup a fost sa faca sportul cu motor accesibil pentru cat mai multi oameni prin pastrarea unui pret si a unor costuri de intretinere scazute. Printre echipamentele adaugate s-au numarat rollcage-ul, scaune sport Toora cu prinderi in 4 puncte, eleron si bineinteles decal-urile pentru curse. Logan-urile echipate in aceasta forma au participat la Raliul Romaniei incepand din 2007, fiind niste masini foarte durabile dupa cum se poate vedea in cel de-al doilea filmulet

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQbk883qX5Y

          Macheta este produsa de Eligor dar tind sa cred ca a fost transformata in Logan Cup de un 3rd party, dintr-un Logan Prestige. Marturie sta portbagajul care este facut ca la Prestige, diferit de modelul real. Componentele specifice, rollcage-ul , eleronul, scaunele sunt bine realizate, scaunele avand inscriptionat Toora Logan Cup pe ele. Vopseaua este bine aplicata, exceptie facand portiunea gri de pe masca fata care prezinta niste umflaturi. Machetei ii lipsesc prinzatoarele pt capota specifice masiniilor de curse si nu are garda la sol coborata.


Dacia Logan Cup (2007) - Eligor 

        Renault Sport Technologies developed three kits adapted to the Dacia Logan 1.6 MPI (90 hp) model, for using it in circuit races or rally (tarmac or gravel). By making the Logan much pleasant and safer to drive, the aim of Logan Cup was to make the motorsport more accessible to ordinary people. This was done by keeping a low price and maintenance costs.  Among the added features was the rollcage, Toora sport seats, aileron and, of course, race decals. Logan models equipped this way raced at the Rally of Romania since 2007, being great and lasting cars, as you can see in the second movie.

        The scale model is produced by Eligor, but I think it is a transformation of the Logan Prestige, by a 3rd party. I think this, because the trunk bonnet is Prestige-like, different from the real Logan Cup. The race features, rollcage, aileron, seats are well reproduced, the seat have Toora Logan Cup on them. The paint job is very goodm except the gray area from the front grille which has a few blisters. The scale model does not have a low ground clearance like the real one.

Dacia Logan Prestige (2006) - Eligor

       Dacia Logan Prestige a fost introdusa in 2006 pentru a completa varful de gama Logan. A venit cu noi elemente de functionalitate si design pentru a-i conferi un plus de rafinament. Principala imbunatatire a fost motorul 1.6 MPI 16v, care dezvolta 105 cai putere. Printre noile elemente de desgin se numarau barile vopsite integral in culoarea caroseriei, jante de aliaj, oglinzi si manare in culoarea caroseriei.
       Macheta, produsa de Eligor, in China, este reusita. Personal, nu am de reprosat decat lipsa oglinzii retrovizoare. Interiorul este foarte detaliata, atat cat permite aceasta scara, un alt mic minus ar putea fi plafonul. La exterior detaliile sunt de asemenea ok, iar pretul de achizitie de nivelul unei Cararama, o face imbatabila.

Dacia Logan Prestige (2006) - Eligor 

      Dacia Logan Prestige was launched in 2006 to fit in the top of the Logan range. It had new functionality and design features which gave it more refinement. The main feature was the 1.6 MPI 16v engine, capable of producing 105 hp. Among other new design elements was the painted front and rear bumpers, alloy wheels, mirrors and colored door handles.
    The scale model, made by Eligor, in China is nice. I only can reproah the missing rear-view mirror. The interior is very detailed, for this scale. "Outside" the details are ok too, but the purchase price, like a Cararama, makes it unbeatable.

Dacia Logan MCV (2006) - Eligor

    Dacia Logan MCV (Multi Convivial Vehicle) a fost lansat in 2006, la doi ani de la modelul Logan sedan, la Salonul Auto de la Paris (Paris Motor Show). Acesta este versiunea station wagon a modelului Logan, care dispune de șapte locuri dispuse pe trei rânduri(2+3+2); ultimul putând fi demontat. Are la baza conceptul Steppe.
     Macheta, produsa de Eligor este destul de reusita. La exterior, vopseaua e ok, iar decalurile sunt bine aplicate si sunt lizibile. Farurile si stopurile nu au nituri vizibile. La interior, se disting ceasurile de bord, butoanele de pe consola, iar tapiseria scaunelor si usilor e texturata. Macheta reproduce modelul cu 7 locuri. Exemplarul aflat in posesia mea a suferit un accident, in urma caruia i s-a rupt antena si s-a indoit un suport de pe plafon.


Dacia Logan MCV (2006) - Eligor
    Dacia Logan MCV (Multi Convivial Vehicle) was released in 2006, two years after the Logan sedan, at the Paris Motor Show. This is the station wagon version of the Dacia Logan, which can have up to seven places, on thre rows (2+3+2). The last row can be uninstalled. It is based on the Steppe Concept.
     The scale model, made by Eligor it's fairly good. The paint job is ok, the decals are well applied and easy to read. The headlights and taillights don't have visible rivets. At the interior, you can easily see the dashboard gauges, console switches, and the doors and the seats are textured.
   The model i have had a small "accident", which caused the antena to broke and a roof rail to bend.
