The once glorious Italian manufacturer of Polistil disappeared in 1993 but the name has very recently been relaunched by of all people the May Cheong Group, the company behind the Maisto brand. Strangely the small 1/64 models I have seen haven't been rebadged Maisto diecasts as expected but looked to have been made by other companies possibly within the May Cheong Group. This is a very good quality copy of the Tomica UD Trucks Quon tanker with Tomica levels of detailing and overall finish, even the wheels look pretty similar. The Polistil name quite rightly is very pronounced on the packaging though the actual manufacturer is also stated in very small wording as Most Success Trading LTD. Bought this weekend on my last trip to Sitges in Spain this year and where I managed to discover one very big Chinese bazaar and out of town toy warehouse! Very happy! ;-)
Mint and boxed.
