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 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 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

          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.
