Anyone have any?

I'm on the verge of ordering one of these:

www.model-car.com/miniature_detail.asp?nr=RICA2123

and was wondering how good/bad they are?

Bearing in mind that the Solido level of quality/detail is about as low as I would like, which is roughly, looking at the price, what this is going to be, are these Ricko models any good?

getting an Autoart WRC Corolla off the same site and I know how good those are!

Ricko are not the best manufacturer round, and if your getting the AUTOart model at the same time, don't put them beside each other!! If you know your brands, they are probably no better than say Hotwheels or Sun Star. The RS200 models they did a few yeas back now were terrible, but people still bought them because no one else did one at 1:18 at the time.

Shame really, here's another example of a stunning car that deserved to be replicated at a much higher level of build quality...

Cheers. I did figure that to be the case. But if you rate them as on a par with Sunstar I'll be quite happy with that. I know they're not up with AA but I've only got the MKII Escorts (which is how I got started on the model thing!), as no-one else does them in 1:18.

I was wondering though as I'd never even heard of Ricko, let alone seen any of their stuff in the flesh. And as my original point, I believe this to be the only Evo in 1:18.
