in a few days time; i'll be laying my hands on my first ever 1:24 and 1:18 scale models 'coz i finally found a store in hyd that sells them

just wanted to know if we can open the box(unpack the car) to see the quality and detailing(interiors and engine bay) at the shop itself?
one more thing, does anyother company, apart from shelby collectibles, make the Eleanor?

Wow! Except the 1st two, all the pics look like those of real cars!

@Cryrus: Is that the same Accord whose paint job you ruined?

details about the models

In Chennai, landmark in Spencers Plaza was the place to shop for scale models (have not visited there recently). Earlier they had some good collection, some of the unsold exotics were at 50% discount and they even stocked scale garage accesories and scale vintage petrol dispensers.

Can any one from chennai please visit and let us know of the update?

Arkin evoisrevo · 29th July 2010, 09:59

I remember, dozens of scale models were available at landmark apex plaza,including my mother's gift to me, the citroen that i broke. This used to be before 2005when I used to live in chennai. In bangy, there are next to no models at all in landmark.

@Diecast : Man, just loved your E collection, though I would like to get only the W124 out of this, from where you picked this up? AFAIK there is not even a single model available of this here in India.

@Cyrus: Motormax?? I must say this is one of the crappiest looking 1:18 I have seen in recent times.

Cyrus43 · 29th July 2010, 13:50

I agree, But it has primarily been bought as a parts car.
