I personally prefer 1:18 scale as its not too small so you can fit lot more bikes into your showcase, 1:18 scale is reasonably detailed and relatively affordable. Maisto & Welly are the commonly available brands and have a fairly large collection in this scale. In my 1:18 collection the costliest I paid was for the OCC Jet bike at US$ 40, otherwise most of the other bikes are between Rs. 150-300 each

BTW, you can also visit the Indian scale model collectors forum:

for bikes best brand in terms of details is Minichamps, Tamiya and Auto Art the scale is 1/12, Maisto etc. don't come close to details of these although they have larger variety , some bikes you can get starting from 40USD

No idea on cars. I am only into bike model collection & that itself eats lots of money and space at home!

Which brands do you buy?
I checked out some 1:18 bikes from MAISTO and i wasn't really impressed by it's build quality. Found the car models much better in terms of detail and quality.

I agree Maisto's finish may not be the best, but they have a large range in 1:18 and comparatively are less expensive than most others (BTW, the maisto 1:12 finish is much better as the models are bigger in size). I buy from an assortment of many brands and from different countries. Brands include maisto, welly, fastlane, minichamps, RC2 etc. Some of the harley-davidson & BMW merchandise are made by maisto but their finish is beautiful, but much co$tlier! Anyways, majority of my collection is maisto & I am fine with them. You can see it here:
