Italeri (normally a plastic kit manufacturer) Piaggio Ape.

The website lists other versions under their 'Encyclopedia' option - which is news to me....

Some of us complain when large scale partworks are offered in specific regions only.
Here is one I suspect no one will shed tears about (at least I don't think so!).
I don't know the car or 1:1 manufacturer, since I would not be too well up on soviet era stuff.
The car modeled looks to be very similar to a Simca from the same period.

Apologies in advance if you have to endure cretinous advertisements before the main clip....

It's a GAZ M21 (they were known as Wolga / Volga at some point, but I'm not up on the exact history) they were pretty popular in the Soviet Union. The Police car models from there are highly sought after and go for a lot of money.

These babies are quite popular here among 1:1 retro collectors. And the models also seem quite fun. Sadly, we never get these things here

Many people from Easter Europe will love to have such a model, hence it's no surprise it's slated for this region.

Now this I can relate to.
A nicer twin cam engine and a Fiat badge and we could have a fast 124 replica.
As a Lada I'll pass.....

As someone who grew up around these, if I can get my hands on such a model, I am getting it, no matter I don't have where to display it

Who makes the Model Icons range?
Many of the Fords look like they were Sun Star produced.

Yep, the Ford Escorts are made by Sun Star.

I couldn't find a thread specific to Auto World, so am posting this information here.
Enclosed trailer, I'm not sure if a decent size car will fit inside.

could have been me Slart thanks for sharing this. They are called Stamp models and goes under certain big brand which the name escaped me.

I checked out their website before and it seems that this manufacturer is specialised in all sort of old school Caddilacs, 1/43 and 1/18 primarily me think. Great stuff but seems farily expensive
