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)
