Yes it sure is. Can you guess how much I bought it for here in Mumbai? Just 2495/- I'm not kidding. This was in 2003-04 I guess. Looks like its appreciated big time now. I'll take some proper pictures by the weekend if you want.

hi guys, firstly thanks all for welcoming me to this community. Hoping to make new collector friends
The pictures are a part of my collection. Many more are still left around will photo graph them and you shall be seeing updates regularly from me since i am a crazed collector. The pictures are all of 1:18 from the likes of autoart,minichamps,kyosho,maisto,bburago,etc.
Ive been collecting since 1996, but that was all 1:24 right from the rare bburagos to the maistos. I have sold quite a bunch and started concentrating more on 1:18 now.
I am posting 1 or 3 pictures of each car, if anyone wants detailed shots do request the car and i shall upload more.

Looking forward to see the pictures of the model,One of the rare Autoart and you get the real bargain..Lucky dude!

[benbsb29]

Dippy, i really love that LandCruiser you have.
Would love to get hold of one someday.

[AmarPaithankar]

Friends, thank you for the kind words.
Super Select - Your 1:1 scale Fiat is classy and one of my close friends was so impressed when he saw its images on this forum that he actually bought a Fiat 1100 and is restoring it from scratch!

Actually the Rolls Royce was never on my mind, as I try not to collect scale models of regular cars, I prefer rally / race cars or cars having a similar pedigree and SUVs (locating a good one is a task). When I latest went to Mumbai to collect the Fiat 131 Abarth and Lancia, Rakhesh showed me the RR model before displaying it and what happened after that is...I booked it.

I was planning to have the Datsun (BRE No. 46) but that will have to wait.

I have taken photographs of some of my models and will post them shortly.

You have some really neat wheels... Love the Land Cruiser, but I think it is on the pricier than when compared to the AutoArts. Could we have some detailed pix of the Land Cruiser please.

Hello Team BHPians.

Allow me to present my collection of scale cars and bikes. It consists of 15 bikes and 26 cars/suvs. I used to collect them in my school days but later on had to give up due to increase in expenses and no increase in pocket money.

3: YAMAHA V-MAX
4: HONDA GOLDWING
5: HONDA VFR V4 VTEC

Usaf23!!!Brilliant collection you've got going there.Some excellent stuff,indeed.And thanks for the neat pictures.

[somspaple]

@usaf23 : superb collection there!!
those autoart models are treat to the eye. congrats.

have one question though :

Maisto - Mercedes Benz CLK DTM 2004

are you sure this is Maisto. this is much better detailed and elegant for a Maisto. must be a Autoart or Kyosho.

EDIT: on a closer inspection the front grill does look Maisto kind. never the less the best from Maisto

[usaf23]

thanks for the comments guys..

@somspaple - the clk-dtm 2004 is maisto. THe GT Racing line had some really well detailed cars by maisto. Sad to hear that they have discountinued.
Check the CLK-GTR, its maisto but the details are 10/10. i dont think the camera does justice to these beauties.

i will be posting more of my collection pictures soon , watch this space
