This is IZH 2125 Kombi. The model is made by Agat in scale 1:43. Иж-2125 "Combi" (Izh-Kombi) is a Soviet car, produced from 1973 to 1997 at the Izhevsk Automobile Plant, based on the Moskvich-412 car. In 1982 it was modernized and manufactured until 1997 under the designation Izh-21251 "Combi".It was considered to be the first Soviet hatchback released about a decade before the well-known Lada Samara, though the car actually possesses a station wagon body. The Kombi had a success in sales within the USSR between 1974 and 1980 due to its durability, off-road capability, increased lifting capacity and was the first IZH car sold for export.

In March 1967, the production of the Moskvich-426 with a station wagon began.

The car was intended for use as a passenger car and as a utility vehicle. In the first case, the car could carry 5 people, and in the second case, 4 people and 100 kg of cargo, or 2 people and a load of up to 250 kg.

The Moskvich-426 car is unified with the base model 408 in terms of the engine, chassis units and other equipment, with the exception of springs (they are shorter than those of the Moskvich-408) and wheels with 6.40-13 tires designed for increased load.

The back seat of the car was folding. This significantly increased the luggage compartment floor area. A spare wheel, a jack and a tool were housed under the rear of the floor.

The fifth rear door was double-leaf with a horizontal split. Its upper part, in essence, is a glass in a frame, opened up, and its lower part down to a horizontal position flush with the floor of the luggage compartment. Since 1972, the door has been made more technologically advanced single-leaf. In addition, it was more airtight than the old one.

The model is made in The Russian Federation in scale 1:43

 It was produced between 1966 and 1975. The van was a two door version with corrugated panels obscuring the rear of the vehicle. The earliest versions were fitted with a partition between the driving space and the load area with a small window allowing a view out through the rear window. Later the upper half of the divider was removed and it became possible to access the front of the load area from the cab. The tailgate also changed over time initially it was a split rear door with the lower part laying flat and upper part swinging up. Later a single upwards opening tailgate took its place. The rear window could be replaced by a metal panel to conceal the vehicles contents and official vehicles were often fitted with such solid rear doors. A similar commercial vehicle the Moskvitch 434 was fitted with a more powerful engine of 1478cc rather than the 1340cc fitted to the 433.

The following variations were produced:

• Moskvich-433Yu, intended for areas with hot climates;
• Moskvich-433E, export version;
• Moskvich-433P – right-hand drive.

In December 1969 the Moskvich 433 was modernised in line with car that it was based on, but there were no external differences. It was replaced by the Moskvitch 2733 van in 1976 which was essentially similar but with a restyled front and some mechanical updates.
