New Diecast Acquisitions

Welcome to the global economy. 

What scale are they? 1/43, 1/48, or 1/50?

Stated as 1/43, and looks reasonable.

Suicide doors and all.  Henry Ford helped post-Revolution Russia set up auto plants,

and early cars were twins for Fords.  At a glance I would have thought the two '30's

cars were 1935 Fords, which is what the Rextoy Fords are...BUT there is something different about the grilles and the bodies on both.  Russia later copied Packards and Cadillacs, but, if you go through the listings on the Bay, you see a lot of Russian models for which their prototypes are not copies of U.S. cars.

Cool  Each is truly an international vehicle!

They look cool, but beware! Did you have them checked for radioactive isotopes, polonium 210 and electronic monitering devices!! 

I have been buying these Russian cars for a few months now.  I think they are pretty cool knock-offs (imitations) of US made cars (although everything is actually made in China).  I have notice that as few of the Russian models seem to be made of thinner metal than what I am used to.  But, they are cool looking, and fit in well with most layouts.  Bob S.

why you know that the manufacturers in China adhere to all EPA rules!!

very nice comrade.....sure look like Americaconsky vehicles to me....

Why?  Are you going to put them in your mouth?
