Wartburg 311 Camping (1958) - DeAgostini/IST Models

  Wartburg 311 Camping este varianta break/estate a masinii prezentata pe larg aici . Wartburg Camping a fost dezvoltat la aproximativ 2 ani dupa sedan.

Este cea de-a 3-a macheta Wartburg 311 din colectie. Mai lipseste una pt a avea colectia completa, din ce s-a produs la DeAgostini. Realizarea este asemanatoare cu celelalte doua. Este de laudat faptul ca au ales sa faca varianta cu ornamente albe, fara a merge pe o varianta simpla, poate mai ieftin de produs. Spatele este bine realizat, dar plasticul transparent ce tine loc de luneta este cam deplasat de la locul lui.

Wartburg 311 Camping (1958) - DeAgostini/IST Models

   Wartburg 311 Camping is the estate version of the DDR car widely described here . It was developed approx. 2 years later after the sedan.

   It's the third scale model of Wartburg 311 in my collection. One more to go and I have all of them. The quality is similar with the others. I like very much that they choosed to do the model in 2 colors instead of one. The rear part is well made, but a piece of plastic which stands for the window is a little misplaced.

 

 

 

 

 

Wartburg 353 Tourist (1981) - DeAgostini/IST Models

       Cunoscut si ca Wartburg Knight, Wartburg 353 a intrat in productie in 1965, si a inlocuit gama Wartburg 311-312. S-a produs pana in 1988, iar in 1985 a primit un facelift si numeroase imbunatatiri. In Germania de Est, a fost intens folosit ca masina a serviciilor publice, in special in politie. Oamenii de rand care isi doreau aceasta masina asteptau pana la 15 ani pentru una. A avut succes la export, in deosebi in Marea Britanie, dar si in tarile din Blocul Estic in care s-a exportat. In Romania nu s-au importat, dar au ajuns multe la mana a doua, dupa '89. Modelul Tourist a fost dezvoltat la sfarsitul anilor '70, inainte de aplicarea faceliftului.

       Macheta reproduce modelul dinainte de facelift, disponibil din 1965. Culoarea galben o prinde foarte bine. Ca realizare este reusita. Realizarea este la standaredele DeAgostini, oglinzi fara sticla, decaluri impecabile si jante foarte bine realizate. Interiorul nu prezinta nici o decoratie iar stopurile sunt monocolore.

Wartburg 353 Tourist (1981) - DeAgostini/IST Models

     Wartburg 353, a.k.a. Wartburg Knight went in production in 1965, and replaced the Wartburg 31x range. It was produced until 1988, while in 1985 he got a face-lift and other improvements. In the East Germany was used as a public service car, especially by the Police. Ordinary people waited up to 15 years for one. It was a succes in exports, particularly in Great Britain, but also in the other Eastern Block cars. Romania did not imported them officially, but many got here after 1989. The estate version, named Tourist, was developed in the end on the '70s, before the facelift.

      The scale model replicates the model before the facelift, which was available since 1965. The yellow color looks very good on this model. The realization is according to the DeAgostini standards, mirrors with no "glass", accurate decals, and very good made rims. The interior lacks any painted details and the backlights are monocolor which is ok for this model.

La mine in cartier (un cartier mititel) stiam 3 exemplare. Acum, putinele exemplare care n-au ajuns vouchere, se mai pot vedea in paragina prin parcarile dintre blocuri, rar cate unul in circulatie.

     Macheta, din colectia DeAgostini, reproduce modelul cu facelift din 1985. Este frumos facut, cu exceptia farurilor. Nu stiu cat ar fi crescut costurile de productie ale machetei, daca spoiau un pic cu gri sau argintiu sub plasticul ala transparent, care tine loc de far. In rest, arata bine, jantele sunt bine replicate si perforate, inscriptiile sunt de nivel premium, foarte fin facute si lizibile. Stergatoarele sunt subtiri, lampile spate sunt doar rosii. Interiorul este negru complet, fara decaluri, iar oglinzile nu au "sticla". Imi place ca au replicat frumos scaunele, un model de tetiera care l-am vazut doar la Wartburg.

It was a succes in exports, particularly in Great Britain, but also in the other Eastern Block cars. Romania did not imported them officially, but many got here after 1989. Now, a small number of Wartburgg, which are not yet vouchers, can be seen abandoned in parking lots, and very few still working.

    The scale model, from the DeAgostini collection, replicates the facelifted model from 1985. It is well made, except the headlights which look very strange, being placed over the beige paint. The rims are perforated and good replicated, the badges look premium, very fine made and easy readable. The wipers are thin, and the backlights are only in red. The interior is black with no decals. I like the well replicated seats with their unusual head-rest.

 

 

 

 

 

Wartburg 311 Cabrio (1959) - DeAgostini/IST Models

      Wartburg este una dintre cele mai vechi marci de automobile germane. Isi trage numele de la castelul Wartburg de langa orasul Eisenach, unde a luat fiinta aceasta marca auto. Wartburg 312 a fost produs incepand cu anul 1956 pana in 1965, cand a fost inlocuit de Wartburg 353. Era disponibil in variante sedan, combi, pickup, coupe, roadster si cabrio. Wartburg Cabrio a fost dezvoltat la aproximativ 2 ani dupa sedan.

      Macheta este binisor lucrata, dar are niste erori, cum ar fi parbrizul care nu este suficient inclinat. Oglinda exterioara este cromata si se afla pe aripa stanga-fata. Oglinda retrovizoare este reprodusa ca in realitate, prinsa de bordul masini, dar nu are "sticla". Si la aceasta macheta, siglele sunt perfecte. Jantele sunt corect reproduse si colorate. Blocurile luminoase spate sunt intr-o singura culoare.

Wartburg 311 Cabrio (1959) - DeAgostini/IST Models

       Wartburg is one of the oldest german car brands. It gets its name from the castle of Wartburg near the city of Eisenach, where this car brand was created. Wartburg 312 was produced starting from 1956 until 1965, when it was replaced with Wartburg 353. It was available in many versions: sedan, estate, pick-up, coupe, roadster or cabrio. Wartburg Cabrio was developed aprox. 2 years after the sedan.

       The scale model is well made, but it has some errors. One of them is the windscreen which has a incorrect angle. The side mirror is placed on the wing and it is chromed. The rear-view mirror is made like on the real model, placed on the dashboard, but has no "glass". The logos and badges are, like usual, perfect. The rims are correctly reproduced and painted. The backlights have only red color. 

 

 

 

 

 

Wartburg 312 Limousine (1956) - DeAgostini/IST Models

       Wartburg este una dintre cele mai vechi marci de automobile germane. Isi trage numele de la castelul Wartburg de langa orasul Eisenach, unde a luat fiinta aceasta marca auto. Wartburg 312 a fost produs incepand cu anul 1956 pana in 1965, cand a fost inlocuit de Wartburg 353. Era disponibil in variante sedan, combi, pickup, coupe, roadster si cabrio. Motorul sau era unul in doi timpi, de 900 cmc, 3 cilindri. A fost exportat e tot cuprinsul Europei si in State, fiind o priveliste destul de comuna si in Romania anilor '60.

       Macheta este tot din colectia DeAgostini si produsa de IST Models. Printre cele mai reusite componente se numara siglele, perfect lizibile si blocurile optice care sunt diferentiate pe culori, lucru rar pt DeAgostini. S-a optat pt varianta in 2 culori, dupa opinia mea o alegere perfecta. Nu la fel de reusite sunt stergatoarele si oglinzile. Erori nu are si pe ansamblu este o machete peste medie.

        Wartburg is one of the oldest german car brand. It gets the name from the Wartburg castle near the city of Eisenach, where this car was developed. Wartburg 312 entered production in 1956 and was built until 1965 when it was replace with the Wartburg 353. It was available in multiple body styles: sedan, estate, pick-up, coupe, roadster,  cabrio. It had a 2-stroke, 900 cmc, 3 cylinder engine. It was exported all across Europe and USA, being a common sight in Romania in the '60s.

        The scale model is also from the DeAgostini collection, produced by IST Models. Badges are among the most well made features of this model. The backlights have different colors, which is unusual to DeAgostini models. They chosed a 2 color paint job, which i find very good. The mirrors and the wipers are a bit rough. It does not have replication errors, being an above average model
