Had to take the 1:24s out for a quick car wash, so decided to shoot a few quick pics... have taken individual side shots as well. But this picture covers the whole lot... Not all are an exact 1:24 scale, there are some Maisto & Bburago models that are between 1:25-1:27.

@crazy biker, try not to expose her to sunlight, the model has an issue with fading windscreens. Mine has gone back for replacement.

Here is my Flamenco Red Fiat Linea 1.4FIRE petrol getting refueled at a petrol pump. The 1997 Porche Carrera 911 driver is getting restless and is coming out from his car to check why is it taking so much time. A truck has had a break down and is being repaired by a mechanic.

The Bburago Reventon has a very good paint finish and lots of intricate details. It's available at a very reasonable price too!

The bburago reventon is a big turn off as there are no brake Calipers. That is the only reason i havent bought i yet.

Finally layed my hands on A 1:18 Hummer and a 1:18 Countach. And My Replacement Fiat 500 Abarth has FINALLY arrived. My first one had a discoloration problem in the Windscreens.

^^ I second that, I almost bought it but the absence of brake calipers are way too big of details for me to ignore, so let it go. I may pick one of Mondo Motors make from GEB.

Cyrus: Is this Maisto H2? I am also keen on adding one to my collection but I want yellow or black, the white one and Allstars maroon just don't do for me. Countach must be Bburago, what color it is? I had one in white color but later sold it to a fellow collector and I still regret it. Though the model is far from being perfect but can serve the purpose till the time you can't get yourself a Kyosho one.

Yeah right. Well, mine is not a Bburago hence it has brake calipers. On all 4 wheels.
