This isn't a photography thread buddy.

SO no need to touch-up, crop et al. We would like to see the actual detailing on your scale rides.

Guys,

After a long hiatus, here I am with 3 vespa scooters. It's really hard to find models of your choice in your color

.

1. Vespa Sports 6 Giorni (1952)

2. 98 vespa Corsa (1947)

3. Vespa TAP (1956)

All 1:18 maisto (@ 8.9 S$ each)

@ Flotsam: There are couple more of these in mustafa except the army version.

Tai seng was closed and I saw 1:32 newray vespa for 8.90 $. Well any day Maisto has better quality than newray. Too tired din't went to army street either. At forum off orchard MRT I saw a toy shop selling Tamiya kits from $ 50 to 75. We will catch up tomorrow.

These actually did exist. The "real" crotch rockets
