TIO PEPE advertising panel. 22cm

The most famous advertisement in Madrid lands in your diorama or track

Few images are as recognisable in the Spanish urban landscape as the illuminated sign of Tío Pepe in the Puerta del Sol in Madrid. Scaleauto brings it to scale within its Scenics Collection (ref. SC-10242B): an advertising panel of 22 cm designed to add personality and environmental authenticity to your slot car scenery, modelling or diorama.

An advertising icon with history

The Tío Pepe advertisement has been an inseparable part of the Madrid skyline for decades. Installed in the Puerta del Sol since 1936, its figure of a bullfighter with a cordobés hat, glass in hand and guitar on shoulder, has become one of the most beloved and recognised advertising signs in Spain. Reproducing it in your track or display case is a direct nod to Spanish popular culture that any hobbyist will appreciate instantly.

Features and details of the panel

• Length: 22 cm, a generous size that allows it to be clearly appreciated on the track or in the diorama.
• Collection: Scaleauto's Scenics Collection, a line dedicated to the setting and decoration of tracks and scenery.
• Reference: SC-10242B.
• Faithfully reproduces the design of the iconic Tío Pepe advertisement.

Who is this accessory for?

It is designed for both the slot car enthusiast who wants their track to tell a story, and for the modeller or diorama creator looking for elements of Spanish urban scenery. It also fits perfectly in themed collector display cases or in recreations of vintage tracks and street scenes.

How to integrate it into your scenery

Its 22 cm gives it visual presence without being disproportionate. You can combine it with other elements from Scaleauto's Scenics Collection —fences, panels, urban furniture— to build a coherent and detailed environment. If you are looking for a more personalised finish, reference paints such as Vallejo or Tamiya can be used to touch up or age the panel and give it that real-use appearance.
