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.

Lada Samara 2108 (1984) - DeAgostini/IST Models

       Lada Samara or VAZ 2108 is a economy class car, made in USSR/Russia between 1984 and 2004. The name "Samara" was used only for export, in Russia being named VAZ 2108 and nicknamed "Sputnik". It was produced in many versions: sedan, coupe, estate with 1.1, 1.3 and 1.5 engines. The design was authentic, not being copied nor produced under license. It was sold worldwide unde several names.

      This model replicates the short, 2 door, version, which gives it the code 2108. It is produced by IST Models for DeAgostini. It has an above average quality, with no errors. The headlights have no rivets. The rearlight ar only red. The wipers, mirrors and interior are completely black but accurately made.

Lada VAZ 2104 (1984) - DeAgostini/IST Models

       VAZ 2104 (cunoscuta in vest ca Lada Riva Kombi) este varianta break a VAZ 2105. Cele doua modele erau bazate tot pe batrana Lada 1200 (VAZ 2101) dar aveau un design actualizat pentru anii 80. Printre cele mai evidente schimbari s-au efectuat la nivelul farurilor, acestea devenind dreptunghiulare. Grila a fost deasemenea schimbata, si s-a renuntat la crom.

       Macheta este aproape incredibil de reusita pt un DeAgostini de revista, care deocamdata a aparut doar in Rusia. Este, poate, singura care are lampile din spate diferentiate pe culori. Este ingriijit lucrata, fara elemente strambe, toate geamurile au chedere. Stergatoarele sunt subtiri si negre, iar jantele sunt fidel replicate. Interiorul este complet negru dar reprezentat corect.

 Lada VAZ 2104 (1984) - DeAgostini/IST Models

        VAZ 2104 (known in the West as Lada Riva Kombi) is the estate version of VAZ 2105. The 2 models were still based on the old Lada 1200 (VAZ 2101) but they had a updated design for the '80. Among the most obvious changes were the headlights, which became rectangular. The grille was also changed and the car did not featured any chromed parts.

       The model is very well made for a partwork Deagostini model. It belongs to the russian collection. I think it is the only model that has color-separated rearlights. It is carefully made, with no crooked pieces, and all the windows have black trims. The wipers are thin and black, and the rims are accurately replicated. The interior is black but also correct.

Lada 1200 (1970) - DeAgostini/IST Models

      Lada 1200, sau VAZ 2101 "Zhiguli", cum era cunoscuta pe piata din URSS a intrat in productie in 1970, si s-a produs pana in 1984, cativa ani fiind disponibila in paralel cu sora Lada 1500. Masina era identica cu Fiat 124 fiind produsa sub licenta, dar era adaptata la standardele rusesti. Grosimea tablei din care era facuta a ramas legendara, iar primele versiuni ofereau posibilitatea pornirii motorului la manivela, mai ales pentru zonele reci ala Siberiei. Fiat a interzis vanzarea modelului in Vestul Europei, dar aceasta a avut totusi loc dupa ce Fiat 124 a iesit din productie. In Romania au existant si inca exista foarte multe exemplare.

      Macheta este produsa de IST pentru colectiile DeAgostini, avand o realizare mediocra. Spre deosebire de majoritatea modelelor din colectie, acesta nu are decalurile realizate bine, cele din spate lipsind in totalitate. Blocurile optice din spate, desi diferentiate pe culori, sunt vopsite peste crom, iar luminile de marsarier si semnalele din fata, sunt deasemenea reprezentate cu crom. Interiorul e detaliat dar e complet negru iar stergatoarele dau impresia unor ace.

Lada 1200 (1970) - DeAgostini/IST Models

      Lada 1200, aka VAZ 2101 "Zhiguli" (as known in USSR) entered in production in 1970, and was produced until 1984, some years being available with his younger sister, Lada 1500. The car was, in fact, a Fiat 124 built under license, but adapted to russian standards. The thickness of the metal it was built from became legendary, and the first versions had the feature to manually start the engine with a crank, for the cold regions of Siberia. Fiat banned the selling of the cars in Western Europe, but this happened after Fiat 124 ceased its production. In Romania, it was a very popular car, a lot still existing today.

      The model is produced by IST for the DeAgostini collection, at a medium quality. Unlike other models from the collection, this one has quite bad decals, the ones from the rear missing completely. The rearlights are painted differently for each light, but the paint was applied over the chrome. The interior is detailed and all black.. The wipers look like needles.

 

Tatra 613 (1974) - DeAgostini/IST Models

      Tatra 613 este un automobil de lux produs de constructorul ceh Tatra intre 1974 si 1996, care a inlocuit seria Tatra 603. A beneficiat de o caroserie noua, conceputa de carosierul italian Vignale , si de doua motoare de 3.5 respectiv 4.3 litri. A suferit aproximativ 5 mici modificari de design de-a lungul perioadei de productie. Tatra 613 a fost indeosebi folosita de oficialitati dar si de serviciile publice.

     Macheta este produsa de IST Models pt DeAgostini. Beneficiaza de o realizare reusita modelul avand toate accesoriile reproduse (lumini de ceata, oglinzi etc). Jantele sunt cromate si reproduse fidel, iar interiorul este complet negru. Stergatoarele sunt destul de fin realizate. Blocurile optice din spate sunt mai prost realizate, fiind din plastic mat rosu.

Tatra 613 (1974) - DeAgostini/IST Models

      Tatra 613 is a luxury car built by the Czech manufacturer Tatra between 1974 and 1996, which replaced the old Tatra 603 series. It featured a new body design, drew by the italian designer Vignale, and 2 engines (3.5 and 4.3 liters). During its production lifetime, it had approximately 5 small design modifications. Tatra 613 was especially used by officials and by public services.

    The scale model is produced by IST Models for DeAgostini. It is a well made model, with all details reproduced. The rims are chromed and replicated with fidelity, and the interior is all black with no decals. The wipers are fine. The rearlights are made out of matte plastic, unlike most models where they are made in transparent red plastic.

Tatra 603 (1968) - DeAgostini/IST Models

      Tatra 603 a fost o limuzina de lux produsa in Cehoslovacia de catre compania Tatra. A facut parte dintr-o serie de limuzine produse de Tatra, serie care a pornit cu Tatra 77. In Cehoslovacia comunista, doar elita partidului si conducatorii marilor uzine aveau acces la o astfel de limuzina. Masina prezentata a facut parte dintr-o serie de 3 modele usor diferite a caror proiectare a inceput, in secret, in 1952. Dupa mai multe teste in tunelul aerodinamic s-a ales o forma finala a caroseriei, cu un design foarte avantgardist pentru acea perioada. Exista oarecare ambiguitati in ceea ce priveste anii de productie ai modelelor precum si diferitele modele, mai ales datorita faptului ca la un moment dat mai multe masini au fost intoarse in uzina si modificate, inclusiv la partea de design.

       Macheta reproduce unul din modelele cu 4 faruri. Realizarea este in stilul machetelor de revista, mai multe accesorii optionale pe masina reala, lipsind. Printre acestea ar fi farurile de ceata, oglinzile, ornamente la roti. Vopseaua este frumos aplicata, foarte sensibila. Aerisirile laterale sunt realizate individual. Siglele si decalurile sunt ireprosabile si la aceasta macheta.


Tatra 603 (1968) - DeAgostini/IST Models


      Tatra 603 was a luxury limousine produced in Czechoslovakia by the Tatra company. It was a part of a series of limo produced by Tatra, starting with Tatra 77. In the communist period, only the government elite and factories managers had access to such a car. This model was one of the 3 slightly different versions, whose designing started in 1952. After many tests in the wind tunnel, an aerodynamic shape was chosen, having a very futuristic design for that period.

       The scale model replicates on of the models featuring 4 headlights. The model is made in the press models style, with some optional components ( mirrors, fog lights) missing. The decals and badges are perfect for this model.

 

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.
