so no one got any answer?

dont care from which maker, though so far only found bburago/franklin mint does this model

oh sorry, forgot to mention minichamps too. though those are a bit expensive, and im not liking their red interior. need to repaint both exterior metal cast and the red interiors

actually to be honest, thats what id prefer too, and the pricing differences isnt that huge. the biggest problem is that i want my model interior to be in white/biege/grey at least, and minichamps are having them red

yeah i admit they do look nice, however it is in contrast to my requirement, so i have to repaint it if thats the case ^^;

thanks for the reply. i think there are new minichamps preorder releasing on feb 2012 for the model im looking for, however, its at 120ish USD excluding shipping >_<

the details are indeed nice, however if i were to repaint the interior to white, ill need to do a LOT of touching up on the fine details as well, which is too much hassle for me, as opposed to say, buying a burago at much cheaper, and just respray the outer metal cast.

more room to f***up, and a lot lesser damage assuming you mess up the repainting process ^^;

yes exactly, hence if possible, i dont want to touch the interior at all, which means the white/grey ish interior from the burago 1/18 would be the most ideal. and less painful if i mess the whole thing up

yeah thinking of white since the burago one is in red instead

oh ya anyone gotten anything from die cast model whole sale ?

looks like malaysia no hope ady, so i just ordered from them ^^;

no la im ordering from whole sale, not empire, die cast empire dont carry bburago also i dont think?

and kyosho got mercedes 300 SL gull wing?

Added on November 18, 2011, 3:17 pmyeah the search was quite painful, always end up with the recent sports cars/mercedes SLG instead lol.

im only getting it out of *specific* reasons XD

they haven't provided me a quote yet, im estimating it to not exceed 30usd though. so price is still acceptable if thats the case, which will total the cost to rm180 give/take, local bburago 1/18 already cost rm150-180 anyways :/

i did try to search for the model i want, dont seem to have it. like i said, people would much rather stock modern sports car over a 1954 year mercedes

maybe i havent been looking close enough i guess. then again if the price isnt differing too much, kinda lazy to go around ady oTL

hey man, much thanks for your help in helping me lookout on the model im after

from aus:
http://www.bongosbasement.com.au/diecast-c.../prod_1704.html

while i could save from the shipping, the original price already far outweighs the price by wholesale diecast (around 27 USD vs 53 aud)

from germany (pjmodel cars):


http://pjmodelcars.com/118-Minichamps-Merc...k-P1903408.aspx

minichamps, red interior again, and a whopping 130 USD

i'm only looking for just one car, and yeah i've done my fair share of digging and searching, and things seems to be rather frustrating thus far >_<

whos this laoda guy? any chance he carries bburago (or any brand) mercedes 300 SL "gull-wing" ? at least white interior, so i only need to repaint the exterior metal cast lol

=edit=
oops noticed the typo after being quoted

those are gachapon figurines right? if so, not exactly 1/18 also. i mean, try to imagine also they cant fit seating of the cars

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gashapon these lol.

then confirm la its gachapon. those scales are varied from 1/10-1/16, technically speaking, they arent scaled, hence why the girls may look odd compared to the 1/18 cars, unless you shoot from a good camera angle (which imo, you did a good job on that )
