Here's the latest addition to Balenopowers collection. The Fiat 500 Bari to Pechino Addition.1:24 scale. Beauuutiful little thing.

Dussey · 21st September 2009, 16:27

Thanks Manishalive/Dippy & Abhishek. The American pickups are certainly an icon . I am looking for a real one without any luck. So the next best thing is
to collect scale models.

Abhishek, I have a Stude Pickup similar to this, its by Yat Ming-Road Signature in 1:18. Shall post picures on my next mail.

Dippy · 21st September 2009, 16:32

@URJA: Nice and cute looking Fiat although red is the right colour for a 500. Is this a BBurago?

URJA · 21st September 2009, 16:38

@dippy - Yes thats a BBurago.

SuperSelect · 21st September 2009, 18:15

@ amit - sooperb taxi man, I have one too ! It's great fun to play with an RC Taxi

@ flotsam - WOW the Hanseat is truly amazing. Wish I had one.
@ Urja - real cute Fiat, awesome detailing !

Cyrus43 · 22nd September 2009, 13:54

Yea. That is a Burago. I really badly want an Abarth 500 in current spec.

Awesome collection bro, very neatly kept

shankar.balan · 22nd September 2009, 20:58

what fun
i just counted and it appears I ve amassed about 100 scale models so far
predominantly 1:43, 1:24 and matchbox type. I ve also got myself a nice special cupboard in which to display them. will picturize and post the snaps of all the new additions by tomorrow or so.
found some excellent Serie D Oro Italian and European collections priced at 495 each recently in Odyssey in Delhi Airport and in their Bangalore store and bought the whole lot that he had.
added a couple more Auto Art 1:43 cars and a few matchbox ones too
somehow I dont like Maisto quality and Bburago quality as compared to Auto Art, Vanguards, Solido, Minichamps, Corgi etc. Bburago is better than Maisto though, but surely.
I still feel Auto Art is absolutely impeccable and though they are expensive, the quality is worth paying for - years of pleasure ahead, just looking at those scale models.

Cyrus.. you mentioned you recently visited Gift Center... can you through some light on their Inventory... and any pipeline info if you have.

Cyrus43 · 23rd September 2009, 00:34

I posted an Excel sheet a few pages ago. What kind of a Cost Bracket and scale are you interested in? I can accordingly remember what they have...

abhishek_bmw · 23rd September 2009, 02:07
