HISPANO-SUIZA 1934 (Estetyka Warszawa)
No details are given (no scale) for this plastic scale model from Estetyka of Poland but it seems to be a replica of the HISPANO SUIZA H6C from 1934. The Hispano-Suiza H6 was available since 1919 and it would remain in production for over a decade. In it's original 6.6 liter guise the Hispano-Suiza disposed of 135 bhp and could top 130 km/h and had servo brakes. The model is not very accurate in details but the shown model still looks better then the other colour versions I have seen. |

Estetyka Hobby Series
PORSCHE 910 (Estetyka)
The Porsche 910 or Carrera 10 was a race car based on the Porsche 906. There were 29 units produced and raced in 1966 and 1967.
The scale model presented here was made by Estetyka of Poland in 1972 and it was part of the "Hobby Samochody Wyscigowe" (Hobby Race Cars) series. There is no mention of the scale of this model but it seems to be a 1:50 scale model. It is a plastic model, aprox. 7.5 cm long with die-cast bottom plate with suspension mounted wheels. The interior is black plastic while the windows are transparent plastic. The headlamp and engine grill were painted by me as a kid in silver, using paint from the VEB Plasticart scale models. In order to paint the engine grill the model had to be force opened to allow a "clean" paint of the grill. The scale model was sold either in a traditional cardboard box or a transparent display box. Why I have both of these and only one car I don't know but I always had just one Porsche 910.
