Re: The Scale Model Thread

Although I do not know of an Amby model, you can get the Tata Nano's scale model at most Tata Motore authorised showrooms like Prerna or Concorde in Bangalore city.

Re: The Scale Model Thread

And for Ambassador only 1:43 scale is available (in whole globe). You can find one made by centy toys in toy shop like saphhire and in local toy shops too. Internationally I think Ixo has Ambassador in their model list.

IXO actually does have a diecast of the Hindustan Ambassador with badging et al, they also have an entirely different model shipping as the Oxford. There was a small discrepancy with the light & fitment which was discussed on this forum, with regards to my model - LINK BACK to first pictures.

Re: The Scale Model Thread

Damn; I need to get an SLS AMG and a 458 Italia, both in 1:18.

Shipping to Canada is horrid; eBay can't do less than $75 shipped for either car.

Yeah thats about right. I suggest you get the Elite 458 as quickly as you can as the prices are getting higher by the day.

You don't have to buy from eBay. There are a few stores in Toronto that sell pretty decently priced 1:18s - Toronto Motorsports (that will ship your order as well) and Presitge Auto Art.
