A Great Collection Of Car Replicas Neil and Abhijit.
@Abhijit, The Superleggera looks brilliant. Which Scale Model Brand you prefer?

I'm Planning to purchase another 1:18 Scale Model this December, Most Probably I would go for a BMW M5 by Maisto. Suggestions are Welcome.

Its not that I am very brand conscious or something. I just buy whatever i like and most of the purchases are impulsive. But with experience I feel Maisto are good ones but that too only in scale 1:18 or above. Smaller ones are not well finished. Bburago too used to produce best ones. And Bburago Ferrari F50 which I have is still one of the best I have. But now that Bburago too is taken over by Maisto, quality has taken a hit and quilty is poorer than Maisto. I am looking out for more scale models like Range Rover, BMW X6, Jeep Cherokee, Merc CLS, etc in 1:18 but can't find anywhere.

Auto Art is another nice brand for Scale Models. Finding a BMW X6 shouldn't be much difficult, You can get them on their stores. I've seen X6 Scale Models.

Even I have seen smaller scale models of X6 but none in 1:18. Here is the link of Auto Art. http://www.autoartmodels.com/en/ Checked all the models. Ultimate quality and superb details. But price is too high. Any 1:18 model costs anywhere between 99$ to 199.95$.
