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.

 

Lada 1500 (1973) - DeAgostini/IST Models

        Lada este numele de export al marcii rusesti AvtoVAZ (Avtomobilniy Volzhsky Avtomobilny Zavod). Numita si VAZ 2103, Lada 1500 a fost lansata in 1973 si a fost o imbunatatire a Ladei 1200 (VAZ 2101). Lada 1500 are la baza tot Lada 1200, care la randul ei a fost produsa sub licenta Fiat, fiind identica cu Fiat 124. Printre imbunatatirile aduse s-au numarat un motor nou de 1.5 L , faruri duble si alte cateva elemente de design.

        Macheta, produsa de IST Models pt DeAgostini este destul de bine reprodusa dar imi lasa impresia ca are masca prea lata. Are niste detalii pe care alte machete DeAgostini nu le au, dintre care ies in evidenta scaunele maro, spre deosebire de restul interiorului care este negru. Chederele si trimurile sunt toate argintii, dar aerisirile care ar fi trebuit vopsite cu negru au ramas in culoarea caroseriei.

Lada 1500 (1973) - DeAgostini/IST Models

        Lada is the export name of the AutoVAZ (Avtomobilniy Volzhsky Avtomobilny Zavod) car maker. Also named VAZ 2103, Lada 1500 was realeased in 1973 and was an update of Lada 1200 (VAZ 2101). Lada 1500 is still based on Lada 1200, which is was produced under Fiat license (Fiat 124). Among the new features was a new 1.5L engine, double headlights and some design elements and trims.

         The scale model, produced by IST Models for DeAgostini, is well replicated. The front grille looks a bit to wide to me. It has some details that many DeAgostini models don't have. Among these are the seats which are brown, unlike the rest of the interior which is black. The window gaskets and the trims are silver, but some vents that should have been black, remained in the base body color.
