This posting is for the item listed in the title: Vespa ET3 125 (1976)
At 1/32 Scale each
model is quite small, not because of the scale itself but because of the object
itself. Scooters are simply not that
big.
The good thing of a
small model however, is that they are not that expensive and they take up less
space, which for this particular collection is quite fitting. One could display
a number of models within a few square inches.
Each model comes
attached (screwed) to a platform that is 4 inches by 2 inches. The model could
be unattached from its base and be made to stand on its own kick stand, but the
base does give the model extra support and the particular model info (model
name and year) is printed in the platform.
The model itself is
made of die-cast metal with plastic parts such as the seat, wheels and minor
details. The coloring and detail are very impressive for such a small model. One
can see the little branding, engines, vents, logos and license plates as well a
stop and signal lights.
The models measure
approximately 2.5 inches long, .75 inches wide and 1.5 inches high (from the
ground to the top of the head light.
Each model comes in an
individual window box that measures 4.5 inches long 2.25 inches wide and 2.5
inches high.

From their inception,
Vespa scooters have been known for their painted, pressed steel unibody which
combines a complete cowling for the engine (enclosing the engine mechanism and
concealing dirt or grease), a flat floorboard (providing foot protection), and
a prominent front fairing (providing wind protection) into a structural unit.
