Recent arrival. New color for this shack. How about those antifreeze green windows?

Are you sure there isn't something nuclear going on inside?The image file limits have been reset. Upper limits now are 100,000 when we have some images that exceed 5,000,000. I've set the pixels for no more than 1000 across the longest side, so if you resize to that all should be well. (The limits are larger than what I typically use, and my images turn out just fine, so I know it shouldn't be a problem)
Thank you for your understanding.Comment

Not absolutely sure, no. Did you see Repo Man?
FYI if you haven't seen it - here is a link to the '64 Chevelle - "trunk scene": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZjZbJuhPAoLast edited by atombaum; 10-19-2019, 07:21 AM.- Jeff

Thanks guys. Yes, minty for sure. Only has a little bump on the top left edge of the trunk lid. Other than that, can't find any fault.- Jeff

Typical Siku thing from the second half of the seventies. Very shortly afterwards (the wheeltype on your example first appeared in '79) the windows changed to smokey tinted. In fact most examples with the R11 wheels have those while yours is a combination mostly found with the earlier R10 wheels (look like Fuchs Porsche rims). Personally I'm not a big fan of the yellow and green tints but it does represent that era of toys pretty well.Comment

Thanks. Your previous comments on the Polizei version were saved. That's why the topic title was Siku 1020 (was V309) and not Siku V309.Originally posted by Remco_Natrop View Post Saved these comments too. 
I'll look for the R10 (Fuchs) rims. I imagine they look good.

In the picture below almost all the cars have the R10 rims and they are most common with this box type and the blisters with the same art. Mind you, with Siku nothing is set in stone so some cars with R11 (like yours and the Capri below) do exist with the same box. The predecessor, R9, is essentially the same print in white or silver but without the "SIKU" lettering on the side walls. R9 is used on the very last V-Series but some do occur on the very early 1000-series where the cars already have the colours changed due to the fact they used the 'old' wheels until they ran out before using the then new R10's. The pictures on the boxes actually show R9's as they were on the last V-Series.
