GAZ 24-02 Volga Aeroflot , 1/43 DeAgostini

Last post was about Russian concept car that was slightly unusual. This post will be again about Russian car, but this time it is not so strange model of Volga which is also known as GAZ-24-02. This car was escort car at Russian airports, and this model is in 1/43 scale made for DeAgostini publisher.

Poslednji post koji sam objavio je bio o ruskom kiklopu, o autu koji je bio malo neobičan. Danas na blogu opet jedan „Rus“ ali ovog puta nešto malo standardnije. Model Volge, ili poznatog isto pod imenom GAZ 24 02. Ovaj auto je bio pratnja na ruskim aerodromima pa je načičkan dodacima i naptisima što ga, barem ze mene, čini zanimljivim.

ZIS 112, DIP Models 1/43

Today on 143modell you will see something special, Russian ZIS 112, car that should be Russian version of Buick La Sabre. The car was highly inspired by Buick model from 1951 and it should represent Russian answer to capitalist’s car that was sort of a dream car, from most famous dreams in recent history... American dream car. This is Russian dream car, this ZIS had 140 HP engine, two seats and the bodywork to die for, I actually like this one very much. The body was designed by Valentine Rostkov, and the model was Russian super car of that era. ZIS had three versions 112, 112/2 and 112/3 this one is 112 concept model that was raced in USSR in 1950s. This is later model of the first version of this ZIS and was equipped with 186 HP engine, had almost 2500kg and 6m in length and was very difficult to drive, especially steering was highly problematic. Anyway as usual I should get to the actual model, and for those who want more data about this car, I would recommend this articlehere.

Kako sjutra na naše kioske se pojavljuje jedan rus, danas na blogu imate priliku da čitate o jednom drugom Rusu, o moćnom i preogromnom ZIS-u 112, autu koji je trebao da bude (i bio je) ruska verzija američkog Buicka La Sabre. Ovaj ogromni auto je imao 6 metara u dužinu, 2500 kilograma i 140 konjskih snaga u prvoj verziji dok je ovog monstruma sa slike pokretao V8 motor od 186 konjskih snaga. Auto je postizao brzinu od 200 km/h i bio je pravi monstrum na putevima. Na žalost po ovaj model, automobil je bio previše velik (ogroman) pa je skretanje bio težak zadatak. Ovaj dvosjed koji je nosio nadimak „Kiklop“, po mom skromnom mišljenu, je jedan divan auto. Posebno mi se sviđa ta ludost koja je bila moguća samo u toj eri i koja zaista zasjenjuje. Auto ZIS 112 je imao tri verzije, a to je prva (ova) 112, zatim 112/2 i 112/3 svaki sledeći je bio stilizovaniji i jači. A verzija pod brojem 2 je ostojila 1956 treće mjesto u tadašnjem šampionatu USSR-a, vozač je bio, za mene nepoznati, Kurbalov. Šta reći više sem, impresivam auto... A sada da pređemo na model.

Interview with CollectinGround / Intervju sa CollectinGround-om

143modell: 

The site looks awesome! How did you start?

CollectinGround, Onuţ:

Thank you, I’m glad you like it! J The truth is that it took us a while to get here. CollectinGround is a project founded by me, Onuţ Nicolae Mutu, and Anca Oncia, my partner. The website was first launched on January 2013, as a result of an extended idea, which we had 4 years ago.  We are from Romania and our first attempt was to create a community for Romanian collectors (lumeacolectionarilor.ro), no matter what hobbies they had. CollectinGround appeared when we decided to expand the Romanian community to an international level. At first, the website was created on a Wordpress platform and it was difficult to use. After a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo, which failed to be successful, we invested, the money we had for buying a car, in rebuilding the website. J On 8^th of March, 2014, we finally managed to re-launch CollectinGround as a new and much improved product. And we love the final result!

143modell:

Vaš sajt izgleda odlično! Možete li nam reći nešto više o tome kako ste počeli?

CollectinGround, Onut:

Hvala na komplimentu, drago nam je da vam se sviđa! Zapravo trebalo nam je dosta vremena da stignemo do ovog izgleda. Sam sajt CollectinGround je projekt osnovan od strane mene (Onut Nikole Mutu) i Anka Onćia mog partena u ovome. Prvo je sajt bio pokrenut 2013.te godine kao rezlutat jedne starije ideje koja je bila aktuelna neke četiri godine. Kako smo mi iz Rumunije željeli smo u početku da napravimo online zajednicu Rumunskih kolekcionara (lumeacolectionarilor.ro), bez obzira na hobi (oblik i cilj kolekcionarstva) kojim se bave. U samom startu sajt je bio kreiran na wordpress platformi i bio je poprilično komplikovan za korišćenje. Nakon pokušaja skupljanja novca preko Indiegogo, koji nije uspio, investirali smo sami novac koji je prvobitno bio za kupovinu auta u građenje novog sajta. Tako da zvanični početak je 8. Mart 2014. godine, kad smo konačno pokrenuli ovu verziju sajta, koja je nov i vrlo usavršen projekat. Još je važno da kažemo da smo oduševljeni kako izgleda!

Ferrari 355 GTS, 1/43 James Bond collection by Universal Hobbies

Today one Ferrari again. Well you know I am huge fan of the prancing horse, so this time one from James Bond collection. As you can see the display box is there, model is nice and the figurine in the car is well done, although I like models more when there are no drivers in it. This model is of Ferrari 355 GTS from a movie Golden Eye, made by Universal Hobbies. 

Danas jedan Ferrari, opet. Kao što zante ja volim Ferrari modele i vrlo ih rado skupljam pa je tako na red došao i ovaj model, a to je jedan iz Džejms Bond kolekcije. Dosta dobro urađen model sa dovoljno detalja u razmjeri 1/43 koji proizvodi Universal Hobbies. Model Ferrarija 355 GTS mi je nedostajao u kolekciji pa se ovaj ubrzo tu našao.

Porsche 356 #327, 1/43 Edicola

Danas na blogu opet post koji vam nudi samo slike, na žalost trenutno nemam vremena za tekstove, pa vam opet prikazujem samo ovako vizuelno model. Nadam se da imate razumijevanja i da ćete jednako uživati u postovima kao i prije.

Ovo je model u razmjeri 1/43 koji proizvodi Edicola, novinski model Porsche-a 356. Inače vrlo lijep ali eto vidite i sami, pa prosudite.

Today on blogger again some images only post, this time it is Porsche 356 made by Edicola, in scale 1/43. Nice model with low price-tag. Hope you like it, and soon we will be back with texts and with some new interviews and so on :)...

McLaren F1 M29, 1/43 Solido

Today one images only post. This is McLaren M29 from 1980, made by Solido in their Alain Prost edition. Great model in nice package!

Danas na blogu post o modelu McLaren M29 iz sezone 1980, koji proizvodi Solido u 1/43 razmjeri u njihovoj Alan Prost ediciji. Uživajte u slikama!

Ferrari 312T4, Fujimi True Scale Miniatures 1/43

Danas jedan od mojih omiljenih modela u kolekciji. Ferrari 312T4 koji je vozio Džodi Šekter je 1979. godine osvojio svetsko prvenstvo u kategoriji vozača a i odnio ubedljivu pobjedu u kategoriji timove, tj. konstruktora. Model koji je bio poslednji T auto koji je osvojio šampionat, i poslednji koji je sve do 2000 godine osvojio šamionat u vozačkoj kategoriji, dakle sve do Šumahera i F2000 ovaj auto je bio poslednji šamion iz Ferrarija. Da ne bude zabune, šampionat je Ferrari osvojio u kategoriji konstruktora još i 1982. i 1983. godine, ali im je u oba puta izmakao najvažniji trofej a to je šamion u kategoriji vozača. Ovo je model od TSM (True Scale Miniatures) u saradnji sa Fujimi-jem. Jedini Ferrari F1 model koji imam u kolekciji a da je resin... mada nadam se da će ih biti još.

Now one of my favorite models in my collection. This is Ferrari 312T4 like one driven by Jody Scheckter in 1979 season, and with a car like this Scheckter has won drivers championship in that year, and his teammate in that season was Gilles Villeneuve that came second. This model is in 1/43 scale built by True Scale Miniatures, and the parts are Fujimi. This is only resin Ferrari F1 car that I have. Many will argue about the resin use in scale models, and many would prefer the die cast cars, but I will give a chance to resin.
