I think i can say with some certainty that when Naji returns (hopefully very soon) he will enjoy repopulating this thread with all his images and vast knowledge of the Scorpion series.

Undoubtedly he is the Oracle when it comes to the subject of Scorpions so lets's be patient and see what happens.....over to you Naji.

Here are some images of SCORPIONS saved from the previous 'Lefora' site. These first images are from a posting by "18power" and show how the track and power system worked. The images have not been edited in any way, so please take this into account when viewing and if they are displayed within a square surrounded by 'scroll bars', just left click on the image and it will display full screen.

Please respect the owner's copyright of these images, I am using them here with the understanding that I am only moving them from one 'Forum' site to another 'Forum' site, in a manner I am sure "18power" would agree with and I will bring this to his attention as soon as he is back 'on-line' with us.

I really like the models that have the scorpion labels including the superfast models as well as the models that came under the "scorpion" umbrella so I have several of them and always looking to add some...... I have a few of the scorpion sets and accessories, but not really seeking them out currently.

Those are some great photos guys!
Thanks,
