V-16 · 27th January 2011, 19:04

YEs Dippy, scale models do not interest me too much, though i do have a few.

Cyrus43 · 27th January 2011, 20:04

I will trade you the Dukkar and the Special for one of your cars.

Deal??

After very long time, I am posting here in "The Scale Model Thread", my newest addition (apart from my other 410 1:64's); Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG (1:40) by Maisto (Made In China).
I really loved this car very much & bought it at Crossword, Shivaji Park for Rs. 175/-. First, I thought that it is 1:32 as per the packing of the car in the regular Power Kruzers box which generally contains 1:32 cars by Maisto. Exterior detailing is much good compared to Kinsmart & also the interior detailing as well.
Hope all of you will like it & the pics as well.
@ Gogi,
You can get 1:43 Fiat 1100 Special along with some other 1:43 Fiats at Automania, Prabhadevi (Next to N1 Racing Stores) but Dukkar is still not available with him.

Cyrus43 · 27th January 2011, 23:14

That Maisto is well done. However, the KING of the 1:43 SLS's is the Minichamps one. In fact, I think I will buy that one. It is a FANTASTIC car.

Absolutely, the detailing is much nice than the Kinsmarts which comes at the same price. I too picked up the same SLS AMG in the same color and scale from Connexions (Velachery), Chennai.

I bought the Blue-n-black. (may change the black to white

)
I also plan to pick up the maroon.
Plus, he's getting two more "Granluce" 1200, in two-tone, which too I will pick up.
Plus the 1100R familiare.
Plus your two dukkars, when you're not looking.
This will never end.

@Hrishikesh: Lovely Merc !

My first post on this thread. I will admit that on numerous occasions I have spent hours on end going through this thread and admiring the prized possessions of all you guys. This thread was ultimately responsible for love affair with scale model cars & my (still small) 1:24 collection which includes the 1941 Chevrolet special deluxe, Audi R8, MB 300SL, SSK and SLK350, Dodge Challenger, Nissan GTR and 370Z, Lambo Gallardo & Murcielago, Corvette Z06, Mini Cooper & '67 Ford Mustang GT.

Will post pictures of my beauties later.

Once you are done and out of town, I will be pleased to take custody of them

.

Bye the way ordered 1:24 Caterham Super 7 Tamiya kit.

Also ordered 1:18 BMW Isetta and Messerschmitt. Sadly all the deliveries will be only in April when my sister returns.
