"Say 'ello to my little friend!"
1/32 Scale Scarface 18 wheeler
Ok, this review was just fun. I
started to mimic lines from the movie, talked like a Cuban gangster, it
was just a blast. I would like to start out with I really like this truck. It has a fun and cool factor of 10+
Is this truck for the diehard
collector? No. Is it a great conversion piece for the man room…YES! I
will have to admit it has some flaws; the hood is hard to open, the
landing gear does not come to the proper height, but this is not meant
to be a fine
collectable.
Don’t get me wrong, the truck is
detailed well, and the art work is superb as you can tell from the
photos. It does seem a little out of scale though, I will measure it and
get back to you on that.
Antonio "Tony" Montana is widely
regarded as one of the most mimicked gangster characters, with memorable
quotes like; "say hello to my little friend."
The motor has a reasonable level
of detail, along with the interior of the cab and sleeper compartment.
The chrome rims set off the truck nicely. the rubber has a realistic
feel and look. I probably would use this on my layout if I had a U.S.
city theme, but would most likely keep it in plain view just for the
COOL FACTOR...
With Kind Regards

"In the
spring of 1980 the port at Mariel Harbor was opened, and thousands set
sail for the United States. They came in search of the American Dream.
One of them found it on the sun washed avenues of Miami... wealth, power
and passion beyond his wildest dreams. He was Tony Montana, but the
world will remember him by another name... Scarface".
