Another Volkswagen Polo

The Italian producer, the Polistil also made a Volkswagen Polo, but it is smaller, than the Corgi juniors model. The Corgi is about 1:55, the Polistil-made Polo is about 1:62 - 1:64. The Polistil produces the Polo in 1:43, too and if we compare them we will see soon, that the 1:43 model is more realistic and exact, the small brother is a bit inaccurate.

Nevertheless, I was glad to get a Polistil-made Polo and I started to restore it immediately.

I gave it a new color - a vivid yellow - and new, wider wheels, too.

A Rare French Model: The Renault 15.

Previously I restored a Matchbox Renault 17 and now it's the turn of a Renault 15! I have never seen before this small model car made by the Italian Polistil. Several producers made the R17, but the R15... I think only the Polistil did in this scale. Its scale is small, approx. 1:66.

 

When I bought it at a fair, it was totally naked, there was no paint on the chassis.

I painted nice metallic ligter blue, and I detailed, too. There was no need to change the window or the wheels.
