I've long enjoyed diecast of Eastern European/Iron Curtain cars. This Welly GAZ-13 Chaika, aside from being a bit underscale with no highlighting of the grille mesh, came from a Greek eBay seller who stocks Welly 1/60. I'm really happy with it, hoping to get a 1/60 UAZ Hunter or Zastava 750 next from this seller.

That is so cool that Welly is doing this one in 1/60th scale. Years ago I had a 1/43rd version but sent it to another garage when I got rid of most of my 1/43rd scale models.Comment

Welly is doing a lot of UAZ, GAZ, Lada, FSO, etc. lately. I hope to see Wartburgs, IFA F9s and maybe Barkas Framo vans added to go with the Trabants, and maybe older Skodas and newer Zastavas tooOriginally posted by pjedsel View PostComment

If you can deal with customizing and painting over "eyes", some of those Pixar cars can be OK 1/64 replicas. (case in point: My Fiat 500C Topolino)

The Chaika is a beautiful car. Welly and Technopark are doing a fine job in creating some Eastern European vehicles.Comment
