What is your impression of Schuco?
I saw some that looked very interesting but the pics were to small to see what sort of finish they had.

Re: What is your impression of Schuco?
If you buy the regular Schuco releases they are pretty good , but they also do a junior line in 1/43 which arent as good , but are considerably cheaper .
Ive had quite a few in the past , mainly Vauxhalls and Opels which I was very happy with .

Re: What is your impression of Schuco?
Although somewhat in the shade of fellow German company Minichamps, Schuco are actually a pretty good maker - sometimes the wheels are a little overscale, but. recent releases seem to have corrected this.
As Gary says, there is a much cheaper Junior range - these are really made by Hongwell / Cararama.

Their trucks are also very good - if you like '50s & '60s Germans
