Team-BHP - The Scale Model Thread

That Bburago is a 1:24 two door Merc (is it the SEC 500?), right? I had this car many years ago but I don't have it many more. I guess that's one of the original Bburagos (Made in Italy) with brown coloured interiors and chrome gear lever.

I'd bought it at the Autocar Performance Show at the Mahindra 4x4 experience. Didn't see the same model in any other store. It is NOT made by Centy Toys. Detailing is great nonetheless.

Today, I bought one of dream scale models that are there on my wish list: :D
Italeri model kit of world's most expensive car - 1934 Rolls Royce Phantom II Torpedo Cabriolet "Star of India",formerly owned by Maharaja of Rajkot. Only one kit of this car has been left in the shop.
Will start assembling the model as soon as the exam finishes on 10th January 2010. Will need the help of all you guys in assembling & also to source the better quality paint for the model in Mumbai. Going to be a tough but interesting challenge, as each part has been extremely delicate.
Will post the pics by tomorrow. Here is the pic of the box :

Are where you bought this kit, are these available in India. Please let me know I would like to buy few more kits.

Thanks Amit and Cyrus. the hood doesn't open, and also this is a 1:32 scale Bburago.

Meanwhile, some pics of my Palio. This is a Centy make, so is plastic, not diecast.

thanks to yajaman's post which i saw this morning I popped by at Sapphire an hour ago and picked up the new Welly's!

@Gods-Envy I am extremely sorry for the havoc caused but I just couldnt wait to buy these!

1. Ford Rally Blue 1:32 Bburago - twin to my earlier Citroen
2. Jaguar XF Silver - 1:24 - superb - WELLY
3. LandRover Defender - 1:24 White - WELLY
4. Lamborghini Miura - 1:18 Yellow - WELLY

Love the Lambo - same car I think as the one in the old Michael Caine Italian Job which gets blasted to smithereens in the tunnel. But that one was Red.
HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ME!!:)
