Yet more models on the desk/shelf... Alfa Duetto (1/43) and 300SL Convertible, E-Type, XK120, VW Convertible, 300SL Gullwing & 550 Spyder (1/87)

Mebetoys

Many of the Wiking 1/87 scale models have people in them...

The E-type has an opening bonnet that works exactly like the real car.

Actually, it opens slightly higher/better than the real car...

This is one of the most amazing 1/87 scale models ever; maybe THE most amazing...

The gullwing doors open and fit flush with incredibly tight tolerances (nearly zero clearance gaps).

Same with the engine lid which opens the same way as the real car & the engine detail is amazing, at 1/87 scale!

The whole car is about 1.5 inches long...

This 550 Spyder is also made by Wiking.  It's an older model and made more simply than the newer ones but the modeling of the body is incredible.  In 1/87 scale, it evokes the same "look" as the real thing...
