The price quoted for alfaromeo and bmw sound like Autoart (old stock, really rare to find)

no those two cars were 1:18 maistos, maistos for RS 1899 and that to models like z3 and romeo ? Is it possible

I have so far seen only a vintage classic merc of maisto priced at 1975, most of their 1:18 range is priced at 1375.
The only other model that i have seen which is expensive for a maisto is their harley davidson ford pickup F350 (Rs 1850) I thought it's expensive as it's a harley merchandise, not sure of alfa romeo and z3, will be checking out few things this weekend, will let you know

My one and only Autoart - Pajero
Bought this few months back, hadn't even taken proper pics of it, so had to take it out to shoot few pics, again with n73 phone cam
Had bought this Pajero at 40% discount from model art few months back, sealed piece and no damages, they were selling this at discount as they had too many pieces of this model

Today i got a Ducati 998S 1:12 assembly kit as my first bike...had to work hard to get it togther ..the maker is newray, shopkeeper had aprilia, honda cbr 600 but i liked ducati.., the price was 499 but i convinced him for 400 as the it was an old product.....i was expecting a maisto or a burago but he dint have any, A few questions here, Hows Newray as a maker ? i havnt seen any maisto or burago to compare it to..i know that the side stand paing has come off and found out that the wheels are too loose and i dint like the chrome finishing on the exhaust, its tacky work. does maisto 1:12 come with working suspension ? And cud not post pics of my citroen earlier, i have it on flickr, how to put my flickr link on this thread ? Once smone helps me to do it then will post both models pics.

Congrats on the ducati Regarding Newray kits vs maisto kits, the latter is any day better than former in terms of fit and finish and features. Most of newray model bikes don't have working rear suspension and fit and finish is bad. I have one newray kit of MV Agusta, it's no where near my other maisto assembly kits, both cost same though!
But there are few 1:12 bikes that are available only in new ray in 1:12, maisto doesn't make them So i have few newray 1:12s just for the bikes sake.
Newray has few 1:6 bikes, they look good, but again the quality is not so great. I have two indian old classic bikes in this range.
Haven't seen any burago 1:12 bike kits.

Regarding uploading pics, it's easy. First go to this site:
TinyPic - Free Image Hosting, Photo Sharing & Video Hosting
and upload any pic, Before uploading, better resize it to 800*600 size.
Then once uploaded, copy the code from the box which says "IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards" and paste it here in your reply/post. The image will appear
ImageShack® - Image Hosting is another site which allows you to upload many pics at once, but you need to sit and edit the img code as it will show only thumbnails by default
So start off with the first site and then check image shack. Hope this helps

Also from which city are you from? if you can mention your location, you could probably get some pointers from members in your city regarding shops from where you can pickup stuff.
