  Under the premise that the current observations of the cosmic microwave
background radiation set a very stringent limit to the anisotropy of the
universe, we consider an anistropic model in the presence of a barotropic
perfect fluid and a homogeneous scalar field, which transits to a flat FRW
cosmology for late times in a dust epoch, presenting an accelerated volume
expansion. Furtheremore, the scalar field is identified with a varying
cosmological term via $V(\phi(t))=2\Lambda(t)$. Exact solutions to the EKG
system are obtained by proposing an anisotropic extension of the scaling
solutions scenario:
  $\rm\rho\sim \eta^{-n},\ \rho_\phi\sim \eta^{-m}$, with $\rm\eta^3=a_1a_2a_3$
the volume function of
  the anistropic model ($\rm a_1,\, a_2,\, a_3$ being the scale factors).
