GTPlanet Scale model thread

[AerodyManiac]

Any opinions on models made by Welly? Any decent or about the same as Bburago and those kind?

I don't have any Bburagos, but I do have 2 cheap 1/32-43s made by Welly 10 years ago. Do they count?

 

[phil bell]

Well if the Bentley Supersports they make are anything to go by, then they are a nice model that display well.

However Welly do have a higher-end market in Hong Kong called FX or something, those have carpet,etc for not a lot more.

Megamo.hk (they also are on ebay) have some good photos if anyone wants a look, IMO they're nice models.

 

[Bram Turismo]

Answer anybody? I have Bburago, but not Welly. I can tell you that Bburago is fairly decent - considering the price. A notch above Maisto, maybe.

I think Maisto are pretty decent models for their price. Currently the only affordable BMW V12 LMR I can find for sale at this moment is made by Maisto, and it looks pretty good.

I was checking out a Welly made Porsche 911 GT3 RS and the boot lid looked horrific. The boot lid line wasn't straight at all and the taillights looked awful as well.

Classic Carlectables, they are not worth the Retail price so many examples are going for alot lower now.
Linpin.ca has many CC products very well priced.
Biantes are the best if you want a detailed V8SC though. 👍

Thanks! I looked Biante up and the store I'm going to in Januari is selling them, maaaaybe if they have a nice one I'll take one home I would like to have Whincup's car But I'm probably going to run out of money because I'm going there for this:

(For the tansporter) Can't wait This is going to be AWESOME!

Carlos!!!!!

Hot damn, man. So many cars I'd like to have there. That Mercedes-Benz . . .

I agree I'm very happy with it!!

mother of god photo

Exactly my reaction when I was unboxing it

And I just discovered the Mercedes has springs!! Front and rear!

Nice Merc Carlos. 👍

PS if photography is one of your hobbies I'd expect some better photographs from you.


Finally had some time to photographs one of my recent acquisitions.

CMC - Mercedes 300 SLR 1955 1:18.

I dont recommend the Whincup car,the Vodafone decals are crinkly and it's not accurate inside. Mine has a paint chip or two as well. The Jack Daniels and Factory Holden cars are the best bet for CC. They all display pretty well though.👍

And I see you've gone the whole 9 yards committing to the Merc Transporter and Vintage Merc F1(?) car. Pics when you get it please.

7.

Geezus it looks like they shrank the 1:1.
Cant imagine how long the engine alone took to make.
Im not familiar with these super high-end models but I can see where the cash went.

That is a very nice SLR The engine is so detailed I have a feeling mine is a bit less detailed (engine).. Also, the thing what keeps the door open, details details, sick model! I might get the pick on CMC I was already looking at the other Silberpfeile..
Must.... Have.... All of them!

You're right, I will make photos when I come home (in about an hour, and I'll try to upload them in about 2 hours). They probably won't come out as nice as yours, but I will give it a try! Never done serious model shooting. I have a Nikkor 20mm laying around somewhere, going to give that a try..

Hmmm I will keep my eye open when I'm looking at them, thanks for the warning 👍

F1 then (I thought) was more known as Grand Prix, but they had serious power. Nice little piece from Wiki:

By 1937, the supercharged engine of a Mercedes-Benz W125 attained an output of 646 hp (475 kW), a figure not exceeded in Grand Prix Racing until the early 1980s, when turbo-charged engines were common in Formula One. The Silver Arrows of Mercedes and Auto Union cars reached speeds of well over 300 kilometres per hour (186 mph) in 1937, and well over 400 km/h (249 mph) during land speed record runs.

The superiority of these vehicles in international motor racing established the term "Silver Arrow" as a legend, for example by usually winning the first race in which they were entered. The names Rudolf Caracciola, Bernd Rosemeyer, Hermann Lang, and later Stirling Moss and Juan Manuel Fangio, will forever be associated with the eras of these racing cars.

Ofcourse I'll make a pic when I have it

Edit:
I'm making the photos tomorrow. I want it to be nice like AMG so I'm getting some white paper tomorrow and do the shoot

I would love to, but unfortunately I don't have enough money to buy a camera and upload it. But, I can get the shots my Uncle had sent me through email, If that's good enough.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Went to the flea market again and bought this for $10.

Woah! That's a cool collection same with the other guy above your post. Nice scales guys real jelly.

Oh yeah Ace, everyone from the HW and MB section is wondering where are you and are you alright. Crossed to the bigger side, eh?

Went to the flea market again and bought this for $10.

Deja Vu? That's the same Formula Red NA1 NSX I have from Revell when I was around 11-12. Still have it, excellent car I tell you.

 

[Doog]

1:18 2012 Mercedes-Benz G500 LWB (Silver)

HNNNNNNNG!

You seriously need to get some pictures of this baby.

 

[phil bell]

That looks good, especially for 10 bucks its super nice for that price!

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

-> Pics or didn't happen! lol

 

[FIZIXDriver]

Here goes, sorry if the pic's not as high quality or large enough, and I know there's some missing. But it's the best I could get with the shortcomings.

And like I said, there's a few missing like the C300 Estate, and the Pajero SWB, but that's all of them.

Well I took a little break but I have returned...

Mainly here for the photomode and racing leagues.

 

[AMG.]

Nice set Fizix! But next time post your own pics. Anyone can grab shots and claim having those models. For now we'll take your word for it.


1:18 AutoArt - Aston Martin DB9R #59

 

[ilikewaffles11]

I have that same 944 but in red, really nice model.

 

[Theace37]

I think I might have to get myself a Jag Xj13. It would go good with my mkIV and 300 p4...

 

[FIZIXDriver]

I just said I only had the shots my uncle had sent through email. I didn't realize it was the same shots from the website, and I don't have the money to afford a camera. If I did I would've taken actual pics. Like I said, I did the best I could.

 

[phil bell]

I've got the plain body version of this, below the VX Commodore on the right (haven't got a nicer photo yet).
Picked it up for 70bucks with an Autoart Viper, had to get it as soon as I saw it.
It's a nice model though I wish the interior was brighter, hard to see the detail. Exterior is very nicely done though, cant tell it's a sealed model at first.

Edit: Viper Pics!
