Anyone into model car collection?

[squala]

I've been trying to look for local websites on this. If you guys know of any, please post up.

I myself have a hobby of collecting die-cast 1:18 cars. I also have some models which I don't like anymore, so I'm planning on selling them sana. I've posted in several sites already, but no one seems interested, which is why I'm trying to look for a forum concentrating on model cars.

Thanks

Burago?

I mention Burago because they seem to be getting rarer lately.

I collect various brands - Maisto, Bburago, UT and AutoArt to name some.

i used to collect diecast but man this is a very expensive hobby kaya rest muna ko for now.im collecting hotwheels f1 and soon maybe minichamps f1 din.

based on my net research its better to narrow down your collection to a specific line/brand. ex muscle cars, or all porsche models released by brand a, or evo 1-8. depends on what u want.

That's true. I have some Burago and Maisto 1:18 scale cars. I think I have Burago supercars while I have Maisto V-8 musclecars. I have a red Dodge Viper, burgundy Jaguar CJ220, pink Barracuda, and a red Cougar stored at my uncle's house.

It's like scale models. For aircraft, I like 1:48th scale late model USN and IJN/IJA WW2 fighter aircraft.

There are some cars that are made both by Maisto or Bburago. I normally choose which one is better. For example, my 1st Gen Dodge Viper is Bburago and its successor is Maisto.

My recent purchase is an orange Nissan 350Z, also by Maisto. I stopped collecting for a while because of budget constraints. But I hope I can add to my collection again soon.

mahal 1/18 diecasts eh.

i go for the 1/24 plastic ones like from tamiya :D

[nicolodeon]

I am. Halong die-cast at plastic. Yep, medyo nagiging rare ang Burago these days. Yung last purchase ko ng Burago die cast (1:18 Lamborghini Countach Quatrovalvole) eh sa Duty Free pa last year. Mas marami ako nakikita ngayon Maisto.

Personally, mas type ko plastic eh - challenging kasi: ia-assemble pa then paint. The painting part is the fun part for me.

May nakita ako minsan 'dun sa Uncle Johnny's Hobby Shop na Burago (1:24 De Tomaso Pantera). Kasi, 'nung binalikan ko kinabukasan para bilhin eh wala na. Sayang.

OT
What a coincidence. Meron naman akong 1/24 scale De Tomaso Pantera plastic kit ng Lindbergh Models. Before I can assemble it, I moved to a new address. Ninakaw yung Pantera kit, limang Hasegawa Kits of Japanese WW2 fighters(ang mamahal pa naman ng Hasegawa) at pati na yung Paasche double action airbrush set ko. Nakakawalang gana kapag ninanakawan. Eto na lang yung natira:

My Remaining Model Kits

Tinatamad naman akong bumili ng bagong airbrush. I like WW2 Pacific Theater fighters. But my favorite theme is armor dioramas.



On Topic:

Burago's aren't really that rare yet. But, their releases are outnumbered by Maisto and newer knockoffs.

Edit: Mga Koreano yung naghakot ng gamit ko. My theory, tinepok nila yung mga Hapon na eroplano. Marami kasing mga Koreano ang me galit sa mga Hapon. Hindi nila ginalaw yung ibang model kits ko. Yung airbrush ko siguro, talagang nawala lang. Trustworthy ang mga Koreano. Puwera na nga lang sa mga Hapon na gamit.
