My Blue Beetle! 1:18 Bburago

Word of advice for those looking to pick up a scale model car in the US of A. While you will definitely find 1:24 models in the Toys R Us and Walmart stores (the natural first choices while searching on account of their size), I would suggest you take a look at the smaller Walgreens (and other retail chains that have more stores in a city) as they will definitely have a few 1:24 scale model cars in the kids section. And they will be cheaper as well. Lesson learnt the hard way!

Picked up a Welly 1:18 Aventador today. Bburago finish did not amaze me much.

I have a small scale model collection with the best one being a limited edition Micheal Schumacher Ferrari F2003 GA - When Schumi drove a brilliant Indianapolis race in the wet to take the win. This is a limited edition hot wheels model with only 25000 pieces made world wide. The rain drops, etc are all there on the car. Will take pics next time I'm home.

This is a recent gift I got. The Abarth Twins

Thanks SuperSelect. Both are 1:24's. The 500 is from Hamley's in Mumbai & a friend got the Punto at the recent Geneva Motor show.

Hello every one ,
This model of ambassador grand , had been completed by us recently(it took nearly a month more than expected to complete),unluckily it reached the owner in damaged conditions,and he was pretty upset,though we give insurance coverage for all our models ,the owner was so irritated at the state of damage that he refused to send it back to us,.....
