Went to Modelart today, and after checking out about 25 models, went in for this Maisto Merc 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe for just Rs1500.





More pics will follow, after I unscrew the bottom.(I seem to have lost my 2 screwdrivers, and will have to get one from the kit of our car.)

Which other models were available there?
Several Models. Ford Mustangs of various eras, Citroen Vintage car(I dont remember the name), BMW M5, a couple of Cayennes, Mercs (E-class, S-Class et al) and Lamborghinis(Superlegga, Gallardo, some Coupe), Range Rover Sport, Audi A8, Jaguar X-series Datsun, and some more others to name a few for Rs1300-1600.

For Rs 4000 + one can get the Auto Art series, which include the Lamb Miura, and many other classic stuff. I hope to buy the Miura for my B'Day.
There were 1:24 and 1:32 scale models too.

I believe there is one AutoArt Shop in Delhi. The Mumbai outlet has been closed down due to lack of business.
Excellent Arkin. You look to be a vintage fan.
Yes and no.
My mom bought me a vintage Citroen (the one I've mentioned of in my post to 350Z) when I was 6 or 7, and I broke it badly.

I hope to buy the Citroen to make up for my Mom next month.[angel]

Nah that's just my HP DV4. The white color is not available in India, so I got it from abroad.

I have 2 more such beetles. A plastic one the same size Yellow in color, and a larger sports one with spoilers and better alloys which is silver in color. I'll try and get pics.
(They are still in the packing)

EDIT: Now I have 2 SLRs!!!

Post some pictures of your other two beetles, and is it from Maisto? You can check mine in yellow, here.

That’s an amazing collection of Beetles. The convertible and vintage scale models have a superb detailing.

The Silver RSi is on the 1:32 scale, the purple is on the 1:66 scale :eek: and the rest are of 1:38 if I'm not wrong.
