An interesting model, one I hadn't seen before. Siku is known for well done models... (at least it isn't half-baked, )

Neat. Nice crisp lines. I like how they incorporated the taillights as an extension of the red interior. Are the headlights seperate? From the photos they almost look like it. |

Another neat model from Siku - I had the white version of this one at one time. Always a bit surprised since Siku did a Camaro that they never offered a Mustang.

Dean-o-mite The only major problem with the older Siku (Germany) models is the highly visible casting/mold lines. I recently shipped an older Siku Porsche 914 to Z28HO that had similar visible casting/mold lines. Sam is going to restore that model by stripping, filing & sanding down the casting/mold lines, repairing the broken swivel arms on one of the doors, priming and painting. It will be very interesting to see how his restoration comes out. |

It looks like it might just be bare metal from the base to me. Looking at some black ones where there's more contrast online looks that way. But let's see what the official word says.

Great casting until the rear quarter panels, then it kind of goes Pontiac in my opinion. |

I really wish I could like this model more. Style-wise it's among my favorite Camaros, but the mold lines flat ruin it for me. As I recall, Siku i supposed to have a real reputation for decent models, but they sure dropped the ball on this one when it came to preparing the body! |
