Meanwhile, i gave the black treatment to the interiors as well as the pillars, similar to some of the Skyline pics which i had dug up. The grey interiors were a shame, and now they look more befitting to the car.

Atleast paint the wheels black. If you'll dig pics of Jap (drag/drift spec) Skylines, you'll find most of them with black wheels. The last R34 Skylines ever 'built', the Z-tune series (check second pic of ur post), came with black wheels as standard by Nismo. You can search pics of my 1:18 skyline for reference.

And get a spray can, it'll make life easier for you. You'll easily get it at your local hardware store.

Picked up a 1:18 W220 S Class today for 900 odd bucks. Good discounts at Hypercity Mumbai. Even the 1:18 Murcielagos are going for 899/- each. They have Maistos and Bburagos . The Alfa 8C is for around 1300/-, the same car was for 1850/- at Gift Centre.

I don't think this qualifies for the thread but then just for the heck of it, here's a wooden model from the bygone era.

Here are a couple more, yet to take the time to get a decent pic of these two, a Porsche GT3 (Autoart) and a Ferrari 599 (RC Scale)

Ahh!! That GT3 Cup looks Magnificent~ Dippy, What are the colors of those S211's that are still left??

agspins · 20th January 2009, 13:44

Guys even Maisto 1:24 GTR is out, dunno when it reaches our shores...
Had a chat with Owner of Ramchander & sons (India's oldest toy store),he told me even if the request is placed with Maisto and Bburago distributors for these models,they take atleast 6 months to come on the shelfs...

They had only silver. Mine is silver too. I say pick up whatever you get. Soon these will be hard to come by. I picked this up without a thought because it will compliment the W221 S Class which I should get in the near future.

Since I have a sizeable Ferrari lineup, I am now looking to expand my Mercedes garage which I really dont have many at the moment.

S Class pictures tomorrow. Still have to take it out from the box.
