2 other Siku models, produced without mention of any specific scale(*):   - left: Morgan Plus 8 3.5 4x2/2 cabriolet with tarpaulin (Siku model), - right: Mini Cooper 1.6 4x2/2 car (Siku model). Note (*): with no scale stamped, one could reasonably guess that these models were reproduced in a 1/55 scale, largely favored by the German producer for that type of model. Th. Höing - Siku models German specialist - indicates that both models are in a 1/52 scale. Link to the Siku museum, managed by Th. Höing: https://automodelle-hoeing.de/To be continued. Guy

Craig, The combination is resin-built by Scale Masters, a Dutch company I didn't know about, exclusively for Friderici. I bought it from that transport company in Switzerland direct and it came by the post in its plexiglass display box with quite a lot of loose items (left exhaust and air cooler assembly, fifth wheel and king pin, 3 semi-trailer resin inserts used to screw it to the base, etc). Link to Scale Masters website: https://scalemasters.nl/producten/ I hope it helps. Guy
