It is simply awesome, inspires me to save and buy these models.
It has got everything that i want.
Great Collection Guys:

Diecast

Between guys i am planning to get my hands on one of these Mustang from Highway 61.
Is it worth buying or shall i search more?

I would say go for it, this is too cool. the bottom of the Pony cary is not painted as visible in the picture, that's a small job which one can do easily.

Yes Manish. It is awesome. Always wanted a mustang 1969. This is a Smokie special tribute version, they are limited and i may not be able to get this, but i am surely going to get a BOSS 1969 Mustang, exactly similar to this except it has spoilers and rare window louvers. It is highly detailed like autoart n kyosho models but cheaper if you buy from ebay. A little disappointment is there where u pointed out. I'll get back to you on how to paint this.
It even has a working propeller shaft.

(fingers crossed) I hope i get this as planned.

Is there any 1:18 VW Microbus for sale in Mumbai ??
There used to be one in Gift Centre which is bought my friend & fellow tbhpian Prajyot22.
The Welly used to have it in their website listings.
Searching extensively for one, particularly Type 1 or Type 2.
Here is the pic from Welly website:

Yes Norev has announced a 1:18 diecast model of the 2009 Lamborghini Murcielage LP670-4 Super Veloce in orange.
Product code: NV187962

Amalgam has released a 1:8 diecast model of the 2009 McLaren MP4-12C in orange.

Cyrus43 · 9th July 2010, 23:17

Good news from Norev. Their collection is insane!!

The amalgam will be soo expensive that one can probably buy a nice small car for that much..
