Picked up a couple Metal Models at the Flea Market today. There was an antique show going on.

Just finished assembling and adding few touch ups.

by the way anyone know of any other nice Mini kits?

Anyone else have fun hobbies?

I used to collect model cars years ago. I need to get round to selling them all. I have a few mini's including a rally one that looks alot like that green one of yours. Is it Burago?

[TA2DMAC]

The red one is a testers and the green a burago, going to pick up a taymia today.

dont think they got the roof / window line quite right on the red one....

The door gap on the red one reminds me of my mini at the moment!

the funny thing is the metal work on some of these little models is about the same thickness as the real thing

[Artful Dodger]

sometimes thicker!

[TA2DMAC]

LOL yeah they are a bit thick and not quite lined up. The Tamiya I just got turned out to be an RC car. After picking up a charger and a lil ingenuity I got it working. Not bad for $25.00
