Scale Model Collection Thread

[vaas2000]

@Vaas: Superb collection there dude, can you please tell me from where you get this RC suzuki and for what price?

@Bandhav
I chanced upon the RC in Shoppersstop in Garuda mall, that was the only RC bike i have seen in all these years, so i immediately bought it. It costed me Rs1600. That was the only piece they had too
Also the RC Hummer H3 was bought from same place.
The bike swallows 4 Batteries (normal AA size)
The remote takes in 9V battery.

@Haroon
Thanks Hope to keep adding them in future too
Model art has limited bike models, but it was the only place i could find GS1200 Model kit and also 1:18 scalemodel. They have good collection of cages, i bought my Humvee there.

Problem with 1:18 scale models is the detailing is not good, most of them have very bad finishing. That's why iam still searching for 1:12 Ducatis/Motocross bikes.
Also has any one chanced upon KTM bikes? i haven't found any so far

Rs. 870 each. These are amazingly beautiful...you have to see it in flesh to admire it...no photo can justify their look and size.

Thanks buddy...I also picked up scale models of the Supermarine Spitfire, The Messerschmitt Me109, Mitsubishi Zero and the American P40 Kittyhawk.

These look tremendous...will attach pictures in the evening.

@ NV : Sirjee...so finally the pics are up too....nice looking beauties there..!!!
Will drop by your house some time to see them..!!

@ NV: Nice bikes.
Indeed the 1:10 detailing is very neat and if I am not mistaken, the MotoGP models are normally costier than the regular models in any scale size. Unfortunately, not too much of variety available in the market on 1:10 & 1:12.

Thanks...yes the detailing and quality are amazing. The slick tyres feel like rubber and not like the normal hard plastic. Another model available in this range is the RC212V as used by Dani Pedrosa. Will be buyin it soon...

Aren't the normal street bikes like the R1 or the RR or any such superbike available at 1:10 scales? I was just searching on the net, and I remember seeing an MV Agusta F 312R, 1:9 scale model.. I don't suppose those are available in India, though.

@ Aryan : I think all models are available in 1:10 as Kriss has all his collection of 1:10...!! And his is not a total MotoGP collection..!

Here in Saudi I have seen about 8-10 regular sbk models in 1:12 scale (including the GXR, CBR, R1, ZX & Ducati). But since my eyes are fixated on 1:18, I did not go thru much of the bigger ones.

I havent seen a 1:10 scale model quite frequently. Will try to find though...
