I am desparately in search of a scale model of the Indian Lancer. Benny, if you spot another one in your hometown, please PM me. Centy's cars have decent detailing for their dirt cheap price. And it's looking lovely. The turbo sticker looks a bit loud though!

I want to get hold of the elusive AutoArt Mitsu Evolution VI. Searching for two years in Mumbai but in vain.

@salilpawar: You are looking for the AA EVO VI WRC or the road car? I have the WRC Tommi Makkinen Edition from Autoart 1:18

Both are pretty rare. You are lucky to have that model.

Thank you, SuperSelect. Centy is still very much into making models, and for a price which is almost half of a similar scale Maisto, the detailing is just about fine. I now have an Alto, a Lancer, an Amby and an MM540 from Centy.

Couple of more pics of the Alto, with a spoiler i made.

Here's the Centy Lancer with my KINSMART Evo.

@ guyonblackybx: Where did you get that Ferrari from?

Ferrari is NewRay.

Lamborghini is from Kinsmart.

Nice models of the Ferrari and Lambo. But, Lambo in black looks dull, had it been in its trademark color ( yellow), it would have been hot looking.

How much do they cost?

right guess, dippy it is a Bburago. detailing is ok ok,
one quick Q though. I don't seem to have the ORVM's with it. Is that how it is for Bburago?

Off late, I have started collecting models of the 1960-70 era.
currently have an Impala, Jag E-type and a Fiat 500.

Planning for a Porsche 356B and a Lambo Miura

@ godsenvy: In the hay days we all thought Bburago detailing was the best. Atleast I thought so. It is now after brands like Autoart and Kyosho have come that we think Bburago is ok ok. Cant blame you for that. I agree with you there :)

I'm not sure whether this E type model came with the mirrors. I'll check my Bburago catalogue and find out.

i however had only heard about Maisto, because that was the make of the 2 Porsche 911's that I picked up about 3 years ago.

Only when I saw AutoArt's models did I realise how much of a sea of difference there is.

I have a wallpaper of the E type and noticed the ORVM's and wondered why the scale model didn't have it. thanks dippy :)

Dear Patrons, friends & well-wishers,

Outstanding new additions to Autofest City - that's what we'd call these new models that we added recently to the collection. They will definitely add a special dimension to the historic importance of the city.
