1:24 Bburago Race Tuners (Toyota Celica, Abarth 500, Alpine Renault A110)






So far the Race Tuner Collection is (included Alpine in the classic section):


1:24 Bburago Porsche 356B


So far the Classics collection is


Now awaiting (all 1:24 Race Tuners):
- Toyota Supra
- Honda ST2000
- Ford Focus
- Mitsubishi Evo VIII

Some classics in the pipeline
- Ford GT
- Jaguar E-type
- Aston Martin DB5

Also came across some premiere Ferrari collection by Hot Wheels but very expensive for the moment.

No offence, But the celica look hideous

@altohoncho - Good collection you're building up, Nikku Bhai. As an old friend and fellow model collector, can I give you a suggestion?

Stick to models of stock cars as far as possible. These "race tuners" and other stickered up editions are no doubt good eye candy. But trust me, when you have a sizeable collection, then these dolled up cars will dilute the seriousness of your collection to the onlooker and make it look like a kid's toy store.

And if you're doing theme collection, as I am (Mercs only), a dolled up car will stick out like a sore thumb!

@ Dada and Cyrus: Yes it does (but I think only from the rear), actually I was apprehensive in buying this one but then thought of including it as its also one of the most tuned machines for street / rally usage.
I am right now building two collections, Race Tuners and Classics (two different tangents though). If I come across something better in Celica then will exchange this one :D

I agree dada, but cant help it, as I have a restriction to 1:24s only and maisto/Bburagos are affordably accessible. I have seen amazing 1:24 race tuners from Hot Wheels and Exotic diecast, but they're bomb expensive USD 200 and above.

@ altohoncho, nice abarth. what is the price of it??

550/- :D ... not much and this was the only piece available at that time, It missed the chequered roof tuner variant from Abarth, but I am ok with this one.

actually i am looking for one too, but the other day i saw one which was costlier compared to a 1:24 scale.
anyway thanks.:thumbs up

Without further ado, I Bring to you...... My FIRST proper Classic Scale Model!!

The Chevrolet BelAir Nomad from 1955

@AltoHoncho good stuff except for the celica..looks horrible

@Cyrus cool Nomad..got it from Mumbai ?? how much ?? detailing is nice..

That belair Nomad is Beautiful

Nice Bel-Air there Cyrus, could you or Hrishikesh update on the models in 1:18 currently availble?
