The Scale Model Thread

I doubt it. Although they would have been ridiculously expensive.

As told by the shop representative or the owner. Around 30K

(but not sure for F1 or for the transporter, I am confusing between two).

Any way just bought Austin healey 1:18 by Koshyo, Yellow. recently listed and in awesome rate of 40 pounds.

Cyrus43 · 8th February 2011, 18:51

OOhh those are the CMC Mercedes Transporters. Or maybe the Minichamps 1:12 McLaren F1

PetrolInMyVeins · 8th February 2011, 19:25

You're right.That was the 1:12 McLaren F1 by Minichamps.It was priced at around 30 grand and simply flew off the shelves.

Cyrus43 · 9th February 2011, 00:30

My bad.. damn the spirits.

No I dont want the breitling, would prefer waiting the lady. Are there any made by Autoart/Maisto etc... a few I came across online are crazily expensive.

Autoart consignment for the F1 is yet to arrive, I havent recieved any notification from the modelart.

Cyrus43 · 9th February 2011, 15:24

No one makes a 1:18 Roller yet. Kyosho has announced the 1:18 RR Ghost in the second quarter of 2011.

Rest assured, you will be seeing some here soon!! Cant decide on silver or black. maybe both then.

The other 1:18 Rollers you can get are the Resin ones. They are sealed. I think completely worthless IMHO.

And to this exciting pair I wish to add Triumph TR4 (Mumbai and Nagpur rally are to be blamed for) or Triumph TR3a.

Me think, MGA is better than MGB and similarly TR3 is better than TR4. Hope to find a decent example soon.

The pics are actually from some ones album. Pics from my side will come way way late in April.

Cyrus43 · 9th February 2011, 15:56

Oh most certainly! the MGA is my personal choice over the MGB too. Maybe you should add a Spitfire. I think I have seen a couple of 1:18s. I shall search for you
