Fortunately, the weekend just past delighted us with beautiful sunshine, so I took the opportunity to do some pics to the new models that will show you from time to time during the next few days. Today is the turn of the beautiful Vector W8 produced by Ricko. As I had pointed out when I bought it, I selected red to replicate the car used in the movie "Rising Sun". The model is made really well: in addition to the vertical opening doors, it also opens the engine compartment and the trunk, positioned under the rear spoiler. Also, something I particularly like my last purchases, is the fact of having even the retractable headlights, operated via a lever positioned under the chassis. The painting is really excellent, the details are very accurate and well-groomed: only comment perhaps on the engine, where they could give a less plasticky effect adding some details (wires, less chrome, etc.) To conclude, therefore, the model is really well realized and given that no other company has ever attempted to reproduce this car, I would say that the Ricko version remains the only choice: today, unfortunately, is a fairly rare model to find, but with some luck, if you like it as I adore it, you can find a very good example for a good price. Surely I will propose also a comparison with the Lamborghini Countach LP5000S of Kyosho, the model that best approaches for performance and lines decidedly angular and muscular. Now enjoy the pictures: have a good fun!
