@Shankar - great collection of the 1:43 Ferrari, they look more like 1:24 in the pics

Some more pics of the Veyron, had issues upploading last week.
so here are a few more

Cyrus, good work with the matt finish on the GTR. However, for the wheels alone, i would prefer a glossy effect.

@amit V8: Thanks, the LR safari is good but was an hard find couple years ago.
@zibby: Love the studebaker. What make/scale? Thanks.
@shankar.balan: Nice pick. I got the same in 1:24, yet to shoot.
@yajaman99: Lucky you on finding one. Nice shots.

Tonight, here's a 1:24 - Chevrolet Avalanche, assembled from a kit from Testors.

like your Chevy Avalanche and Suburban.
Where did u get Avalanche from? What make is the Suburban?

Thanks
Studebaker is by Ertl and its 1/25 scale

amit, superselect, yajaman, siddvi

thanks a lot for the appreciation.

im lazy to take out the larger/ more sophisticated camera so I have been snapping all these with my little mobile camera.
however, it just goes to show the extremely decent quality of photographs one can achieve with a 5MP Nokia camera with the Carl Zeiss lens!

somehow I love the little fellows 1:43 size. storage, beauty, appeal, cute-ness, play-ability etc!

i guess i simply never grew up in that sense.

cheers

I think each of us here who collect these scale models feel the same each time we pick up these models. Imagining driving these beauties and spend hours looking at them.

That Ferrari Collection is awesome. Is there an F355 too?

Shankar, any new Kinsmarts there at the new Saphire store?
