Mercedes Benz S600, 1/43 Schabak




Firma Schabak je iz Njemačke i veoma je popularna među kolekcionarima njemačkih automobila. Zašto? Zato što u ovako maloj razmjeri ima otvaranja. Jednostavno zbog toga. Naravno i činjenica da je ovaj proizvođač izradio dosta modela koji nisu toliko popularni, te da mu je izbor jako veliki i cijene pristupačne govori dosta o tome zašto je popularan. Koliko sam ja informisan Schabak vise ne proizvodi modele ali ako neko zna nešto više o njima neka mi saopšti to u komentarima.
E sad, model. Dosta dobar, meni nekako taj Schabak ima dosta šarma, jer sa tim ovaranjima je jako simpatican. Ali za razliku od Brumm-a, o kome je bilo riječi u prethodnim postovima, ima još dodatno osjećaj njemačke preciznosti. Imam još par modela sa otvaranjima, ali se na ovom najviše vidi preciznost i zazori su jako mali. Jedino su manji na Herpi Ferrari 348tb koji je plastičan, pa meterijal dozvoljava da zazori budu manji. Boja je dosta dobra, neka zanimljiva siva koja vuče malo na plavu. Imao bih zamjerku na to da je granulacija metalik dijela farbe malo krupna pa se vidi da se radi o 1/43 modelu a ne o recimo 1/24 ili krupnijem, pošto se u ovakvim slučajevima da pogrešno protumačiti razmjera. Impresivan detalj je koliko je tanak metal na otvaranjima, ovo stvarno odaje maketu kao dosta detaljniju i kvalitetniju nego što možda jeste. Što se metalnih djelova tiče suma je, da su dosta dobri, farba bi mogla da bude bolja, kalup je dobar, dimenzije su dobre, debljina metala je mala što je odlično. 

Schabak is German manufacturer of scale model cars, and it is very popular among the collectors of German cars. Why? Well because in small scale like this it has openings. Simply because of that. Of course this is manufacturer which made a lot of different German cars with a variety of models with fair prices, also helps with the popularity of this manufacturer. As far as I know the Schabak does not produce models any more, but if anyone knows something about that please let me know in comments below.
Now, a little about this model. It is very fine one. For me Schabak has that charm, because of the openings it is a lot more interesting. But in difference from Brumm models, I wrote a text about those in some posts before, it has the feel of the German made thing if you know what I want to say. I have a few models in 1/43 with functioning doors and that stuff but this is really special for small clearance. Only some Herpa Ferrari models have smaller clearance than this one, but those Herpa models are made of plastic and that provides on them to have almost no clearance. The paint on the model is fine, is some kind of metallic gray with elements of blue color. Only flaw I found is the granulation of metallic speckles is bigger than it should be. Because of that model looks like a 1/43 scale and does not give that “maybe it is” 1/24 or larger scale model on photos.  Specially great detail is the thing that metal on the openings is really thin and the model due to that looks much better. So that would be all about metal parts of the model, and the conclusion is: paint is fine, molding is good, dimension and proportions are great, thickness of the metal is good, so all in all everything is good.






E sad plastični djelovi su priča za sebe. Od plastike na ovom modelu su djelovi branika i lajsni na spoljašnjosti i unutrašjost modela. O spoljašnjosti prvo, pa ti branici i lajsne su odlično napravljeni i materijal je jako vjeran onom na originalu. Mada nije sve savršeno, te lajsne ne naliježu baš najbolje na metalni dio modela. Na nekim mjestima je zazor od po 1mm, što je za 1/43 model dosta. Vidi se da se radi o starijem modelu, ali mislim da je ovo bilo rješivo tada, i da je moglo da se izbjegne. Ne isključujem mogućnost da je možda samo moj model takav, ali ako neko ima iskustva sa ovim modelom neka se u komentarima javi i podijeli sa nama svoja zapažanja. Unutrašnjost je već priča za sebe, mislim da je unutrašjnost morala da bude mnogo detaljnija, ako ne ofarbana i izlijepljena onda samo izmodelovana. Veliki je problem to što nakon što se otvore vrata, hauba i gepek jednostavno detalji su loši, nema ih. Sve je ravno i izuzev motora potpuno jednolično i nezanimljivo. Što se farova tiče, pošto su i oni plastični djelovi, mogu reći da su jako dobri. vrlo vjerno prikazani i detaljni. I sa jedne i sa druge strane su dobri. Možda je zamjerka na zadnjim to što dio kod žmigavaca (pokazivača pravca) nije različit od ostatka fara.

 Plastic parts are another story. Bumpers, interior and small side bumpers are made of plastic on the model. First about exterior, those bumpers are well made, material is representing original parts very good. Although not everything is perfect, those side bumpers are little bit of the body of the model. On some places it is 1mm of the body which is not small for 1/43 scale. It is obvious that this is an older model, but still the fitting of parts could be better no matter of the age. Maybe, my model is only with flaws like this, so if anyone has experience with these let me know if I said something wrong. Interior should be better detailed, if not painted correctly or printed then simply modeled fine. Big problem is the thing that interior is not interesting it is just plain without any detailing. This is specially problematic when you have functioning openings so you can closely the interior. Headlights and backlights are modeled nicely, and besides rear ones I would say they are well made. Only on rear ones I would like to see turn signal lights made better than these on the model, because they are no different from the rest of the lights.

Za kraj priče, odličan model, topla preporuka, iako ne toliko detaljan mislim da se može reći da je model za imati. Posebno ukoliko držite modele u polici ovaj sa svojim otvaranjima će jako lijepo stajati na tom mjestu. Kalup je odličan, dovoljno detaljan, farba je dobra, u suštini vrlo vjerno predstavlja pravi automobil u malom.

For conclusion, this is one fine mode. I would recommend it for everyone who wants to have something like this. Specially if you have your models in shelves, than this one will be beautiful there. Die-cast parts are great, it is detailed enough, paint is OK, in general it is realistic model which represents a car very well.
