I discovered that new Siku are quite nice to display compared to many other die cast in the market. I will do a post on Siku in near future as I have taken many photos but have no time to post them here. All cars reviewed today are coincidentally red. I find that Siku look fabulous in this colour so I couln't help buying red cars from Siku. All Siku are made to a standard scale of 1/55. Are they to scale? Let's check it out.
Mercedes SLS AMG
Real Dimensions: 4638mm x 1939mm x 1262mm
Measured Dimensions: 84.20mm x 35.40mm
Blown-up Dimensions: 4631mm x 1947mm
Percentage Difference: L (-0.15%), W (+0.41%)
Verdict: Right on Target!
Volkswagen Scirocco
Real Dimensions: 4256mm x 1810mm x 1404mm
Measured Dimensions: 77.80mm x 32.30mm
Blown-up Dimenisons: 4279mm x 1777mm
Percentage Difference: L (+0.54%), (-1.82%)
Verdict: Still within tolerance
Porsche Cayman S
Real Dimensions: 4347mm x 1801mm x 1306mm
Measured Dimensions: 78.55mm x 31.30mm
Blown-up Dimensions: 4320mm x 1722mm
Percentage Difference: L (-0.62%), W (-4.39%)
Verdict: Is it me or the car? Still looks good though
Overall results are quite impressive especially the Mercedes. Width is quite subjective as it depends on where the reference point is taken. All cars managed to get a radius within the 1% range in the length department.
