The Scale Model Thread

MustangMan.....the merc is from maistro (1:48) & the bently is from airfix (1:42)....airfix is a plastic body kit maker, you have to assemble it, paint it. its better than burago. i'll keep more potos of it. the cobra lookalike is not a real model, i picked up some plastic, fixed it, painted it.

BEEM3R......That disco is awesome & that potoshoot is great, loved it....is it from autoart??

MustangMan · 13th December 2007, 14:37

Airfix are good... but I have stayed away from plastic kits as a: dont have the patience and skill b: they get bad thanks to our hot climate. Many of my fathers cars have got bad/falling apart.

But that's just my two cents, dont let it stop u from collecting and building kits.

Here you go (not any better at photography)

blackadder · 16th December 2007, 18:28

Thats a beautiful collection MustangMan. Thanks for sharing it with us. Would love to see some more people sharing their collection pics here. Now that should inspire a lot of other non collectors to get into this hobby.
Where did you get those rally models from. I would love to get the Peugeot some day.

MustangMan · 16th December 2007, 18:40

Thanks. The 1:18 205 I got from France, but I am sure its available elsewhere, paid quite a bit then, one of my favorite cars so had to get it (in the 1st pic you will see a 1:24 205, by BBurago, got it some 15 years back, one of my first 'non playing' models') . The 206 is from London. Both Solido.

Corolla from Mumbai, Focus WRC - Ebay.
