Added the red interiored CMC Uhlenhaut to my collection. Got this for a steal, albeit with a missing mirror and one small broken part (totally fixable).

Literally late to work today because of this

Re: The Scale Model Thread

Need help from the group.
I picked up a Porsche Cayenne in 1:18 scale yesterday from a friend of mine who is settling abroad. The 2 OVRM are broken but the good news is it is not lost. What sort of glue will put it back together? Can someone advise on the local availability of the same. please.

Just use Feviquik. Easily available and will do the trick. I have fixed many broken ORVMs and even Formula 1 car parts with it. Max 1 to two drops per ORVM.

As @Dippy says FeviQuick does the trick. For these tiny parts I use a pin to apply to FeviQuick glue. It gets that teenie weenie bit of glue on without leaving a blob when it dries. Hope that helps.

Thanks a lot for the suggestion and hint for application. I will post the picture here soon after the rework.

Re: The Scale Model Thread

I had some free time on my hand today and took this opportunity to rework the broken Porsche. As suggested, the fewikwik worked effortlessly. Thanks again for the suggestion.
Now for some pictures.

Basically I would love to have a scale model of Bullet 500. Any possibilities or if someone is aware of any availability.

I ordered my Bullet 500 model via the Indian RE website. I just checked but I can not find any mention on it. You might want to contact them because it was them that was supplying them for INR 1200 a piece.

That is excellent news Jeroen. Thank you for the heads up. I will surely contact them. If possible, can you please share some images of the Bullet 500 model that you have purchased.

Best regards,

Been wanting gullwings in my collection for a while now, finally got them. The F117 Nighthawk is from Maisto.

Well, you have two options, keep looking for a standard model, or buy a real classic to match your model classic!

Good luck hunting for your model. I’ll keep an eye out for it. But I am not optimistic. For some reason there are models out there of just every bike, classic, vintage and new, but very few of Royal Enfield.

I have a real standard, so looking for a model standard. Fingers crossed, just shot an email to the support team, hope they can assist.

There was an IXO made standard bullet model, launched many years back, but hard to find these days.
