yeah dippy... this is my third one off ebay/US... got the Z8 (was a gift

.. the ford GT and now 67 shelby.

They actually come at pretty nominal rate there.

Totally Scuderia

The Zonda came for 17 dollars and KITT for 25 . I have the James Bond Z8 in my collection though I need those Fords now. Would love to see your models personally sometime

Will try to get them at some meet... havent attended any meet since the kharghar wala scene... the "cops n draggers" episode.

The next in line for me is probab the E-Type and Charger, amongst others

But will have to wait for sometime... no proper place to display them

I got it thru ebay.com. It is not available with any store here in mumbai (i actually tried a number of times). A friend was coming down from the US, told him to get it. Shipping it to India otherwise is bloody expensive, more than the cost of the model itself.

Hey, I want this one. Can you give me the site address?

islero · 22nd December 2005, 21:19

oh sorry I just realised you didnt ship it down. stupid me......

These should help... but the prices are higher than what I paid. I got it for approx 26 or 27 USD.

islero · 27th December 2005, 21:10

Stratos · 27th December 2005, 21:20

My Hummer H1.

Dippy · 28th December 2005, 11:43

Very well shot Stratos. Glad to see you finally got yourself a digicam

Stratos · 29th December 2005, 17:09

Mahindra Scorpio....

Dippy · 29th December 2005, 18:36

Not bad at all Stratos. I must say you click your models very well. Whats the scale of the Scorpio

This makes me wish we had 1:18 models of the cars seen on our roads

islero · 29th December 2005, 20:39

If we do, I want one of the Ikon sxi and the Palio GTX. And the Premier Padmini and the Ambassador. And of course, the Tata Sumo ( the basic , most often seen white colour with black bumper version)

Stratos · 29th December 2005, 20:58

That Scorpio is 1:34. I have the Armada and the Class too.

There is a french company that makes Hindustan Ambassador Taxi (yellow and black) 1:18 scale model with Delhi registeration on it
