Thank you Shashanka. I never knew to possess such a rare model. You gave me a wonderful information. A true fan indeed.:thumbs up

Yes it is indeed a very rare car & worth a king's ransom as they say! So you should certainly prize it above all the others!::)
I am not a collector and the only model I have is of a similar vintage - a 1934 Alfa Romeo. I had written a post earlier (#12082, page 806 in this thread) about it and am attaching a couple of photos here.

That doorless frame and the spare wheel position is really unique.
And not to mention the liberal use of chrome on the left side which is standing out. Think this element is not just a current favourite among the indians

That is a Hummer H1, not H3.... :D couldn't stop myself from commenting. H1 used to be a model that I drool over when I was a kid.
Reference.

I must say, the pictures are awesome, you are good with the camera and the lighting.

I just spend last weekend at the Classic Grand Prix at the Nurburg circuit in Germany. Lots to be seen as usual. I came across a market stall of CMC Classic Models. Check out their website for models and prices. Quite in a legeau of their own.

https://www.cmc-modelcars.de/en/home/

I was allowed to take a few photographs. These images don’t do the models must justice. Handheld, through the glass of display cabinets. But you will still get to see some very nice detail

I will let the images do the talking:

I liked the Mercedes car transporter and SL on it. I have seen it in real life not too long ago:

Enjoy Jeroen

Was just going to comment the same. The cars and the background looks so real that I first thought damn that's a real car collection?:Shockked:
Simply excellent pics.

anu007, First class collection and I must say you have a skill in photography. The way you have positioned the models against the background make it look very real. The motorbikes are superbly detailed and I have fallen in love with the Chevy Fleetmaster & Jeep Wrangler. Congratulations.

Here is my small collection, have been trying to save from the wrath of my 4 year old and his friends. :uncontrol

Starting with the one that ages well.

One of my Favourite , the design never ages

The Scale Model Thread-psx_20180908_121926.jpg

Would I be wrong to term it a comfortable supercar

The Scale Model Thread-psx_20180908_121814.jpg

Another SuperB car

The Scale Model Thread-psx_20180908_122415.jpg

And now the Duster, mark the wider profile tyres, this guy also got the tyres upgraded after I upgraded the tyres in my Duster AWD to Maxxis 771 Bravo

The Scale Model Thread-psx_20180908_121450.jpg

One of the best angles of Duster.

Oh my God!!!!! Irresistibly drool-worthy for a collector. That 'Blue Wonder' is the most unique one I have ever seen till now. Sadly, I did not find any article on Wikipedia on this. If CMC ship it form Germany, definitely I will bring it into my collection.
