The Scale Model Thread

The finish on the M3 & Lexus is splendid!

PetrolInMyVeins · 19th March 2010, 20:38

This is one of those times when I find my face too small for my grin.Those three cars I had mentioned earlier arrived today.(By the way the Ferrari 575 GTC is metallic not matte black.)There have,of course,been a couple developments.Firstly and most importantly,I couldn't resist the Audis snd BMWs so this is what the extended list of my latest aquisitions looks like,now:BMW X6 xDrive50i(White),BMW 750Li(Blue),BMW 330i Sedan(Black),Audi Q7(Grey) and Mini Cooper Convertible 2009(Yellow)-Kyoshos all.A couple more are due tomorrow which I'll name later.The second development is that I'm now too broke to afford even food and clothes for about a year.But food and clothes are overrated anyway...Right?

Its Norev model and I paid around £30 for it.
This is a first scale model I have, that has a bonnet opening mechanism.

Say Hello to my new Friend!

BuBooMan · 20th March 2010, 02:59

Whoa! Looking at the current crop of models, I am utterly astonished! I know my collection is about a decade old, but these new Kyosho and Autoart make my old bburagos feel well, OLD! Insane attention to detail! Will post some more pics of my garage once the cars are thoroughly cleaned1

Cheers!

You Cyrus, when did you pick up the Z? I'm guessing you got it for a good price. Gift Centre again?

@BuBooman: Welcome to the model thread. Those are fantastic cars

@VibrantSoul: One of my favourite colours on the BMW. What make is it?

@zibby: Superb Lexus. Is this a dealer edition. I have only one Lexus in my collection 1:18 1989 LS400

Right. Approximately the hole that the M3 burnt in our pocket

It is a Kyosho. And one of my favourite colours on a BMW too. The photographs just don't do justice to the actual scale model, it is truly a feast for the eyes.

No. Prabhat, He has had it since ages. Got it at the usual Motormax/maisto price.

shahen9 · 20th March 2010, 17:09

@Cyrus where is prabhat??

PetrolInMyVeins · 20th March 2010, 22:35

Thanks for the offer,Shahen.But I've already chosen my Kyoshos over food.Anyway,the last two arrived this morning.If you guys liked the above mentioned stuff,you'll love these:First up,the BMW M3 (E92) Coupe in pearl white.And finally...wait for it...a gorgeous red Ferrari F40 Lightweight.Turns out one of the guys who'd booked it chose to have the BMW M5 instead.Can't thank him enough!

PICS PICS PICS! Want to see a Kyosho F40 in all its glory. How much better is it in comparison to a 10yr old Bburago F40? I have one of those and will put up some detailed pics soon. Cant wait.

PetrolInMyVeins · 21st March 2010, 12:41

The F40 is stunning,man.If you leave out the insanely expensive BBR Ferraris,Kyosho is an impossible act to beat.The detailing and finish on this thing can give my standard F40 from Hotwheels a run for its money.About the pictures,I'm really sorry guys but my exams are approaching so they'll have to wait but I promise an absolute onslaught of detailed images of my entire collection once they're done in May.I'll try to make sure its worth the wait!Oh and BuBoo,I just checked out your collection.Real neat.You come across as a man with a taste for the best.And this is the first time I've seen the Bburago F40.It may not be a match for the Kyosho but it definitely looks like its got a nicer stance than the Hotwheels version.
