    browsing a good friend's collection

    I noticed this gorgeous 1954 Maserati 1:18 scale by RICKO

    http://www.rickoricko.com/

    now I'm curious if any of you has it
    or at least knows the RICKO brand

    in my case I have the Vector W8

    but can't wait till I get more Ricko models
    specially those 2 Lambos and Maseratis

    any comments about RICKO quality,detail or price
    will be welcome

    I haven't heard the best things about them but I don't own any so I wouldn't know myself but I figured atleast be warned.

    I have a Ricko 1/18th BMW 507 and don't feel it is of particularly good quality.
    They seem to be better at picking interesting subjects than at turning out detailed scale models.

    That is the best summary - the quality is not the best and it's reflected in the inexpensive price, but they do have many of the more interesting subjects which warrant a look based on that alone. As an example, their Maserati A6GCS - a truly magnificent automobile that no one else has done.

    You got that right !!!

    they pick very interesting models
    even tho they don't specialize in charging a lot for models

    that's my style
    personally I don't feel like spendidng large amounts of cash for toys.

    At last
    today I picked up mine

    and I found it very impressive,very well detailed (even it's trunk is carpeted too)

    looks high quality to me
    I totally love it !

    but I'm afraid they rip me off

    if anyone else has it how much you paid for it?

    P.S. there's something about old european cars that hooks me up
