The R34 is not a Maisto. I Got it sent from the US. It is a MotorMax!

I picked up a couple of models and haven't had the time to take pictures until now. Cheers

The Morris is by Minichamps and the Beetle is by Bburago.

@ Dussey, neat car, i have the same model but made by yatming.

@ mjothi, nice aveo, some detailed pictures & who makes it??

@ Salil, sorry for the mishtake

. but it's still awful. (it's my personal opinion.)

@ Khanak, the minor is superb.

Cyrus43 · 7th June 2009, 15:38

Adheesh, That is one Brilliant Morris Minor. Isnt that one of your Favourite cars ever??

Cyrus how did you paint the boot lid without painting over the nissan logo.

benbsb29 · 7th June 2009, 20:20

Cyrus, did you lift the spoiler from another car, or did you make it yourself?

Thanks Amit, I'm not sure if its available here but scale18 can ship it down for you if you like.

Cyrus43 · 7th June 2009, 21:59

The Red paint is a Translucent Color. I Myself was shocked when I saw the nissan Logo after the paint had dried. And this was after two coats!!!

And your 1:24 R34 is a Maisto! Grrr...

And how did you make that tacho? Why don't you take a printout of the dial and stick it on the tacho? Or should I get a printout for you?

My idea about decaling. Did it on MS Paint. Can you paint the body panel black as shown.

Cyrus43 · 8th June 2009, 00:30

The Black looks Good!! And "our special sticker fellow" will kill me if I ask him to make Decals This small. At the moment, It will get a Big NISMO Decal first

salilpawar1 · 8th June 2009, 00:35

So, I presume you are painting it that way. best of luck and good nite!
