The Scale Model Thread

I know about the exotos. I let three of them go last week as I did not have 'adequate funding'

@manish nice TR4 there, always place a max bid on thats wat i do most the time.

I got 959 by tonka polistil the detailing on the car is decent. Posted some pics long time back.

manishalive · 14th February 2011, 19:43

I put max bid as perceived by me

, looks like I need experience. Exotos are so damn costly. By the way is any body aware of collections of Adil Jal Dharukhanwala (editor Zig wheels) and Gautam Sen (editor auto india). How can we have a peep into them.

Cyrus43 · 14th February 2011, 22:25

Adil has a collection which is quite unique. He gets his stuff from Gift Centre too.
