It also comes in other versions as a towing vehicle with a trailer, as well as a Police and Fire Service emergency vehicle. I think that it is 1:57th-scale ... but this is not clear in the catalogue.<br /><br />The Hummer does look big ... and I suspect that this range of SIKU models is not of a consistent scale.<br /><br />Good luck with your hunt.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-65873188323375312332012-06-26T22:59:14.197+01:002012-06-26T22:59:14.197+01:00I've mostly been looking for the "pickup ...I've mostly been looking for the "pickup truck" style stuff to use as technicals for Force on Force. I've managed to find a few nice ones around, but no SIKU. I was in Belfast yesterday and they oddly had a civvie Hummer that was in true 1/72 scale and waaaaay bigger than most of the rest of their stuff.Arquinsielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16290858295232803685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-58301634407016253892012-06-22T06:45:59.386+01:002012-06-22T06:45:59.386+01:00Nigel Drury,
