My New Scorpion

Post by Paddles »

Hey guys,

just taken a couple of pics of my new scorpion, been searching for one of these for a while especially in red to match my just recently finished restored scorp.

hey,

i found it on ebay and it just so happened it was a guy selling in my suburd, which was very lucky. there is another one for sale from u.s.a. the link is below. the doors boot and bonnet open, the seats recline and it has suspension and rubber tyres, the detail is great.

this is the only other one i have ever found.

I have a gold 1:30 scale Yonezawa in average condition, along with a bunch of mint Matchbox Scorps (actually called Galants). Still have the boxes for the matchbox cars as well.

I also have a couple more Matchbox Scorps and a Tomy Starion that are a bit second hand, chips in the paint, etc.

very nice indeed, i didnt realise there were many around, i was stoked to find a red one, the same as my scorp.
mine is marked as a galant on the box but on the bottom on the car itself, it has mitsubishi sapporo printed on it.

I have an Aoshima model kit in 1/24 scale. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10051113 The kit is rubbish,but its the only kit I've been able to find. The pic on the box shows a JDM car but the kit represents a car like the one one of our south american friends posted pics of. Has body coloured bumpers with chrome caps and so on.Will post pics when its done.
