Indian car scale models by Centy Toys: A model collector's impressions

These 'toys' are made in plastic but are very high quality.

BHPian ArTigor recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

An Indian toy manufacturer Centy Toys is silently launching great Indian automotive scale models at affordable price point. These 'toys' are made in plastic but are very high quality. They had launched the Tata 407 scale model, this was approximately 1:43 in scale, recently got a sweet prelaunch box of the Padmini with the name Queen 70s. Found it really well made and of a good quality. Feels good to see such nostalgic car models as toys being bought back, and the cherry on the cake is that it is made in India.

Got this sweet pre launch exclusive box. It has a writeup at the back:

The sky blue Padmini looks cool:

Those fins on the C pillar are so neat:

That dashboard right from the glovebox lid, the ashtray, steering, speedometer console to the rack below the dash board, all look so perfect, even the seat has the ribbed profile.

The details on the interior & exterior are surprisingly good:

Got this Mumbai taxi version of the Fiat too:

The meter is the cutest thing:

This is the Tata 407, very well detailed for a 1:43 scale:

They have also launched the Ford Endeavor based pickup at 1:36 scale.

Ribbed loading bay and tow hook, good attention to detail:

Look at those interiors for a plastic toy, its amazing:

Overall it feels like a good stride by an Indian manufacturer to produce good quality scale model toys. We need more such products which can cater to not only Indian but also global collectors.
