The Scale Model Thread

Got this a month or so back. Ordered on the official MB site. Quality is top class and I am looking to order a gull wing as well.

Ah yes! I got this email from them too. Good thing is that they seem to have stocks of my favourite scale, the 1:43. Unfortunately, I have run out of space now and I am rethinking on these investments because each car costs Rs 5500/- and more.

Hence I only buy the ones that are very dear to my heart.

Facing the same dilemma! Out of space so have not bought any in the last 2 months. But it's good that kyosho is finally coming in officially. Options never hurt!

Meanwhile some pics of my 1:12 Lambo from a team Bhp meet on Sunday. Credits to murshid and Utsav.

Oh, no wonder I've never come across this in India. It is indeed a feast! Should you decide to sell it at all, I want to be the first in line to buy.

Bought this scale model from flipkart for Rs 550:

I felt the quality could have been better for the price. The wheels can be rotated and the suspension can be pressed.
