Wow RPM... this is probably the first SIKU on this thread ? (Correct me if I'm wrong !)
I too have a few SIKUs, fabulous proportions and detailing !

Siddvi, the bullbars were my own creation, made of steel wire, with insulation used as a sheath. The wheels are ofcourse from another vehicle, which i bought specificaly for the wheels.

Shankar, thanks for the comments. I picked all the colors of the Scorp i could find. I sourced them directly from the Centy dealer in Bangalore located in Mamulpet. No amount of searching in Big Bazaar or any shop gave me any leads. I can give you the dealer's address if you require.

There have been a few more pictures posted from SIKU, mostly by me, I have a 1:32 Lamborghini Tractor, a couple more fire engines but in 1:87 scale and a trailer in 1:87 as well

Cyrus43 · 6th December 2009, 12:01

Wow. Those Fire Engines are damn Good. Brilliant Detailing.

rajathv8 · 6th December 2009, 12:46

looks good,1:28? first time i'm hearing about such a scale
BTW what is the make of this model?

arjunrudra · 6th December 2009, 13:57

Wow those are some cool looking scorpio's , especially the black one.
And the f40 looks uber cool.Its the racing version of the f40 i think.

shankar.balan · 6th December 2009, 14:22

ok me hearties!

here is a super example of a Jet Black Glossy, mean and purposeful looking Alfa Romeo 8 C Competizione - 1:18 Scale Bburago.
Loved it and bought it.

And then comes the little 1:43 Maroon delicious looking little Corvette Stingray by Auto Art.

At this rate Im going to get beatings with a stick from the wife because while she indulges my scale model madness I shall need to go out and buy one more lovely glass fronted wardrobe to display the lot!

arjunrudra · 6th December 2009, 14:31

The 8c sure does look nice. You did not post pictures of the rear which according to me is the best bit in the car.

Cyrus43 · 6th December 2009, 15:00

The F40 is SHATTERING!! Its pure brilliance! I SO want one in 1:18
