Couldn't resist posting this but i too have couple of same Leo trucks in the form of Ambulance and the other Troop Convoy which were bought way way long ago. I also have an old Nestle mini truck which came along with 4 different types of chocolates at its flatbed.

Will try to click some pics.

Amar - I was wondering if your German brigade could top your Pearls of the Orient series and my oh my, has it ever! Fascinating collection to say the least. Could you post more pictures of the grey BMW in the last picture?

I second that. Indeed there was a bar of Nestle Milkybar slab type chocolate among others.
BTW here are the pics of the Nestle truck along with the pics of Leo ones. Both of them are in need of restoration.

The black color on the cab is due to the paint i sprayed when i modded this truck once.

PS: Sorry for poor quality pics. Mobile cam

All three 1:43 scale models are well detailed, especially the race livery draped Mercedes Benz CLK DTM and the Mercedes G55 SWB.

Hey Neil,

Here are some more images of the BMW M3 Convertible that has a unique three piece foldable hard top. I had posted images of this car in the past.

Thanks a lot Amar, that made my day!

My resolution to not pick up any more cars for the next few months has been broken. Again. All thanks to DCM. Found a Fiat Punto Evo (had to order it) and added the Fiat 500 (2008) and Reventon as well. Will start uploading pictures of my collection soon.

Wow. Just went through some of the last pages on this thread and I am truly amazed!!

My scale-model collection is relatively new but I have an addition that is absolutely essential according to my peers.

A Ferrari F40 Limited Edition in Matte Black by Kyosho (1:18) is headed my way from my aunt in the States. Once here, I'll post photos of the little beauty.

Anticipating it with bated breath!!
