Dippy, f1fan, ragingbull, superselect & cyrus:
Why not make a mini-meet out of it & go visit Automania together & grab a bite after?

We can discuss it in the thread below:

P.S. - Anyone coming for the Autocar Performance show tomorrow?

On ebay you will find quite alot of bargin at cheap or reasonable price. Best place to buy discontinued models, i buy most of my models of ebay.

Added 3 more rides to my collection; lancia stratos, citroen hy and merc sls

The sad part is, ebay UK is quite expensive as compared to Ebay USA. :(

No one makes one. Sadly. Unless you want a very very expensive sealed Resin one.

Hello friends,

Here are photographs of our Scale 18 TATA Nano (by Norev) which we purchased recently from the TATA dealership in Mysore.

Norev has done an excellent job at replicating the original. Norev has however pushed Nano economy to further limits by offering only front doors and trunk as opening features.

We have dedicated a page on our website in tribute to the TATA Nano. Please visit : Autofest City - India's largest collection of authentic scale models

Best wishes to everyone!

I only have had one scale model, a red and white Mini Cooper that I fell in love with at Carrefour when we were in Singapore. Attaching a video of me and my nephews test driving this beautiful beast!

YouTube - Mini Cooper.wmv

This thread brought back memories and now am determined to resurrect my love for scale models!

For some reason I could not resist buying this Nissan 370Z on ebay. Manufacturer Maisto. Nice details for a 1:24 scale. Take a look:

The front 3 quarters view

Rear view with the 370Z badging

Engine details

Top 3 quarters view

Alloy wheels

Rear again with the twin exhausts and stop lamp below the number plate

Left front 3 quarters view

Interiors. There's a dead pedal too!
