Hey Team bhpians

I have noticed that we have quite a few threads on Scaled models and R/C cars on our forum and it does get confusing at times to keep track. Well for me it does . From now on please post info, queries, pictures of your collections, dealer names etcc.. on this thread only . It will be easier for all of us and convenient too.

Thanks once again

if we can start a discussion on model types this thread will become really informative and interesting

Hi

There are a couple of things you could do to ensure that your models stay the same over time

- Avoid leaving your models outside where they collect dust
- Clean your models regularly and apply MIN cream to protect them
- Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight or keep them under a spotlight
- Don't play around too much with your models and don't let other people handle them

I guess this kinda makes collecting boring but then again if you want your models to last for a long time there are somethings you need to do.

Shoppers Stop and Lifestyle carry Maistos. Gift Centre in Fort carries Autoart,Kyosho & Bburago. Manoj Stores and Premsons carry a few models as well.

Cheers

As long as you are keeping it its allright. Make sure you take good care of the box as well.

The silver ones right? I have a Bugatti EB100 keychain which I never put any keys on until about a month ago.

Thanks Khanak for your reply. Except for few, I have been taking care of most of the points u mentioned
- never exposed to sunlight or spot light
- never let any one touch them, or play with them
- regular cleaning and keep them dust free

Still the polish fading issue surfaced. I would try postin few pics to make u understand the issue better.

Is is that Miasto scale models are of moderate quiality than other brands?
