The Scale Model Thread

I'm assuming you've got contacts within Tata.How exactly can I find one?I wouldn't mind another colour.Just tell me what to do,please.The Tata dealerships are being really obtuse.Even the 1:43 scale-model my dad managed to acquire was being made out to be some kind of super-exclusive 'invitation only' corporate gift or something.Then,a sneaky showroom employee slipped one quietly into dad's hand and threw in a tiny yellow plastic pull-back Nano(A Norev Mini-Jet product,I believe) and pocketed the 180 bucks.

@cyrus thanks for the website, they have some nice models for resonable price.
I would love to get my hands on one tata nano 1/18. None of the dealers in Goa knows bout the model.

Lets see if I can get a set of TeamBHP and Scalemodelcarz.

I got a white one from Wasan Motors in Chembur. Maybe you should try your luck there.

I managed to find one on ebay but its a bit expensive.

@khanak: How much did you get the 1:18 Nano for from Wasan?

Cyrus43 · 21st January 2011, 10:01

1500 IIRC.

What colours can we expect Cyrus? Is the green you posted one of the new colours?
I find it a bit odd that the model is available in Pearl White with body coloured bumpers and everything even though the actual version comes in a very different white with black bumpers. Also will the model be freely available this time?

Cyrus43 · 21st January 2011, 10:43

It should be. They are doing some more "rainbow-ish" colors this time...

I hope they include a yellow. The green looks rubbish tbh.

Cyrus43 · 21st January 2011, 16:24

They hopefully will. There is also a Pink.....

But that has better details too.
