Is anyone else getting an "account suspended" page when they try to go to the Fidels Models website? |

The Fidelis Models website is back up. We experienced a malicious flood of traffic from a foreign country which overwhelmed the server and caused a suspension of the site. We apologize for the inconvenience to anyone who tried to visit our website Saturday evening 6/25 to Sunday morning 6/26. |

I love those old ROCO vehicles. When I was a kid I had hundreds of them, back when they cost a quarter or $.50 USD apiece. Wish I had them now. They always seem smaller than airfix figures that I was using. Good luck to a new generation of players using them. My figures are all now much too big for these little gems. Is it true that the originals were made by prison inmates? |

Never heard that prisoner story.
I started collecting Rocos from a tiny hobby shop in Harrison Virginia in the late 60's. Ended up with just about 4 thousand, I just recently began selling some off. See the gentlemen above.
Your'e right regarding scale, Airfix figures were around 1/72 scale. And The early Roco's were around 1/87 scale.
Roco's figure sets should have been plastic and more diverse. |
