The Scale Model Thread

Does this finally mean Mercedes has started selling model cars?? That would make my job collecting them much easier!

EDIT: For all VEYRON fans. The upcoming Minichamps Grandsport!

The SLS has reached Indian Shores, I just decided to call ModelArt at the Forum to check if they have the SLS AMG and to my surprise he said yes.
I grabbed the car keys and headed to the Forum. On the drive there i was hoping the sales guy had not misinformed me.
On reaching ModelArt as i opened the glass door i saw the RED SLS AMG in their showcae. Bingo the Sliver SLS was there waiting for me

They seem to have got a few new models, for those interested in the SLS i saw they had the sliver, red and black.
Attached a few pics while still packed. A photoshoot is planned with its siblings in my stable.
Scale: 1:18
Make: Maisto
Rs 1550/-

Guys,

I have been on the lookout for a Willys Kaiser or a CJ5/CJ7 Jeep model in 1:18 scale. Unfortunately Google didn't help so hoping T-bhp will!

Any leads?

I have a Wrangler Renegade in 1:24 scale and a 1:32 War model Jeep but I want a 1:18 scale now. Picked up a black SL-65 AMG Maisto 1:18 and its really good but the best I have is the RC 1:18 SLR Mclaren with working lights in Silver. Will post them sometime.

Cheers,
Adi

That jondo (lol) is no monda (lol again). The Zonda is a good old Zonda S from motormax. One of MM's better cars.
