The Scale Model Thread

BANDHAV · 22nd April 2010, 16:56

I am not trying to advocate Kinsmart here, but still to prove my point i will post pics of wheels of kinsmart.

Im not saying they use the same wheels for all their models. Having owned alot of their cars, i know they use different wheels. What Im trying to say is that they use the same design for multiple models.

@sinner: Splendid pics and a great locale

Here's a 1:24 Scale - BMW X5 from Maisto

Those are some brilliant scale models. Reminded me of my olden days & Hot-wheels. I guess i have few at my hometown but chances of going there are pretty slim lets see i would love to share those beauties. If my memory serves me well then theres a hummer, Enzo, Aston Martin & a Lambo. This may be THE reason to go to my hometown after 2 whole years.

A couple new additions to the 1:18 collection:a black Lexus LS460L(Norev) and a silver Mercedes Benz SLK55 AMG(Auto Pro Shop).The Merc comes with a Carlsson body-kit but I like it the way it is so no plans to install the kit for now.I've noticed how a lot of collectors keep track of how many scale-models they've got so I did a little counting of my own.Time for some stats(read 'shameless showing-off')-my 1:18 count touches 295 with the above mentioned SLK55 AMG being my 31st 1:18 Mercedes Benz.Cheers!

An Update on the M5. The Roll cage has been Fabricated and the Interiors complete. The First Coast of Paint and Clea was applied and then I found a small mistake so did a second Coat. Clear Pending. Assembly will be done tomorrow. Hope to get the "M" Blue-Dark Blue-Red Graphics somehow.

Nice collection hey ram.

PetrolInMyVeins · 23rd April 2010, 13:48

@Cyrus43 and BANDHAV-List all 295?Yeah,that could take a while.By the way,a small correction to that stat is in order:I have 293 1:18 scale-models.The remaining 2 that I accounted for are larger.To get started on the list then I'll name these 2 first:1.)1:10 1880 Benz Patent Motorwagen(Mercedes Benz) and 2.)1:12 Aston Martin V12 Vanquish-James Bond's car from 'Die Another Day' complete with the guns,missiles and sliding roof(Kyosho).
