Thanks Cyrus. These are Welly models, and the scale should be 1:32. The reason i am not very sure about the actual scale is because its not mentioned on the model, or the packaging.

Yes yes right-330i.They launched a,highline version(Diesel) of 330i too,in India-I saw one of them in BMW blue colour(1:1,I mean!).I have not seen any diecast version of that still in shop-very good collection at that scale.

planet_rocker · 27th July 2009, 15:24

Thank you, that a classic Merc Omni bus. It was gifted by dad's friend who worked as factory manager in Merc's Truck plant in Jeddah (Saudi). It's almost 20years old.

. I got it along with the military green G-wagen, yellow Merc 6x6 concrete mixer & sprinter delivery van.

Thanks, most of my collection is 1:43. I like that size. Most of my models are sourced from abroad through personal buy & ebay.

This 330i model is gifted by BMW India on the occassion of Kochi showroom opening. But I guess its available in BMW outlets. But the price will be high!

You are very lucky hanmust.
I never got any diecast model as a gift even after purchasing any of my cars from showroom

Every time I asked them,if they have some,even I will pay for it,they said "No Sir,sorry-company has not sent".

Its all Almighty's grace.

Company has no interfearance in those matters, gift are normally given by dealers as a courtsy. It depend on the dealer's managment to give good gift or just a sweet box. When my friend bought three S-classes from Merc's Kerala dealer, they gave him & all his three drivers a Merc T-shirt over a box of some good sweets & a Merc's small book on its history & heritage.

A scale model of different kind

CAT 508B forestory machine (1:25) scale, most of the Caterpillar models are 1:25 scale. I got as a gift from my company (few more models also as a gift will post them later).

As the name suggests this machine is used for cutting the trees.
