| ![]() Exoto released a special edition 1995 HUMMER H1 wagon for the 2000 US Presidential Elections in 2000... all the wonders of Exoto teamed with a commemorative paint-job. I do not really fancy the paint-job, so never interested me before, but I really needed a truly scaled down HUMMER H1 wagon for my collection and Maisto isn't true to scale. Looked around for a single color but unable, so waited... patience paid off... Exoto realised that 10 years later not many people really want the special release... so I got it at a discount ![]() |

| ![]() Yet to assemble the van. Quote:
@RPMPKDMFF: That's a lovely H1 Wagon. Had come across the same 2 years ago however didn't buy it since I already had one in 1:27 scale. Agree the paint-job could have been different. | |

BHPian | ![]() [quote=vivekji05;1709846]It is a 1:43 made by the same people as my Yeti scale models, sold as part of the official skoda merchandise. Quality is great for a 1:43. Apologies for creating the confusion. I was actually making an inventory of my collection in excel while writing the post. The Skoda Superb is indeed a 1:43 and the detailing is pretty good for the price. Now i have added a model from a Czech model-maker. Also i just checked my 1:72 BMW Z8 which i thought was made by a German company, but turned out it is made by Hongwell - a Hong Kong based company. The detailing is pretty good for a chinese company. Have posted some images in an earlier post, but the scale being that small, photos don't do justice. Anyone else having a model by Hongwell? |

| ![]() Got the E 350 CDI Avantgarde. It was a long wait for the new E. I really wanted one, the moment it was launched. Saw an E class elegance at the Auto Expo and it wasn't good enough- beige colour, too many spokes on the alloys and no DRL leds on the bumper(pics posted earlier pg 451). Cyrus' E was tempting. Went to shops in Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai , but I couldn't find it anywhere. But luckily for me Hanmust went to the right place- Model Art. Special Thanks to Hanmust who carried it all the way from Bangalore. It is a big moment for me getting the longawaited E at 12 in the night. ![]() ![]() ![]() The two Avantgardes together. Note the similar 5X2 spoke alloy wheel design. ![]() ![]() Last edited by vivekji05 : 2nd February 2010 at 11:45. |

| ![]() @Vivekji: Beautiful shots of the Merc E. Is that a Maisto? @traveloholic: Nice shots of the Evo. Here's a 1:25 Scale - 1946 Dodge Power Wagon from ERTL Collectibles. |
