A recent delivery by the mail...

The toy that was most impressive when it was released in 1975 or somewhere in that area. We thought to have seen it all, then Siku no. 4010 came along.
Twice as expensive as usual, triple as heavy (over 1kg!!) and with mega playing value.
I am extremely proud to have added this absolute Die Cast Masterpiece to my collection. Enjoy with me the pictures...

of the Faun Grove crane!!!

Fully extended it does not fit into my little photo studio...

Pictured with the MB Iso Grifo... A little off scale, the crane is 1/55 and the Iso 1/64, but you get the idea...
