Hello Everyone,
Thought I'd start a thread for my "European" make models, which will mostly be
vintage Solido, Mercury, Eligor, Rio & Ziss.
First one is truly one of my favorites :
Solido ~ # 106
Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
I'm now on a lookout for a red version, but by the looks of it I'll need to mortgage the house
(Note to self, clean windshields before photo session !)

Magnifique modèle français !

What a great looking Alpha, Good luck on your hunt for a red example.

Very nice model, I quite like the figures in models, it brings them to life a little.

How right you are ! I always say that.
I even wrote something about that here. http://www.corky.fr/?page_id=1922

Yes I love to bring these to life, the figures really help and it adds a little fun to displaying. I picked up a package of 100
cheap 1:48 / 1:50 figures listed for O scale on ebay, believe it was about $5 or something. They're a little undersized
which is perfect for fitting to the cars tight interior spaces.

I love that Alfa - so much so that I have five...


One is Metosul copy (Spain) and two are Tekno-Solido... I need 2 more drivers! Ack, and a windshield.

Like a kind of rainbow. That's what makes me like collecting.

Awesome Alfa Collection, I'd be happy to add the red, and yellow one to my set.

A little later made model, 1985 according to Paolo Rampini's book Modelcars Made in Italy 1900-1990. but still a favorite !
Rio ~ # 84
1936 Hispano Suiza Spider
