Quick view - Biante 1/64 catalogue from the archives...

Within one of the 1/64 Biante's that I picked up in Australia was this catalogue showcasing the range.

Ok, a little old (models going up to the BA Falcon!), but I think that this does well to show what was/is out there.




I think that Biante produced some great little models, but why has this not been translated to the 1/43 scene?

What do you think? 1/64 or 1/43?

Tokyo Drift - AutoArt Japanese additions

As regular readers may know, the Garage is split into different sections - namely Europe, Australia and Japan. (I have no time for US&A models unless they are in 1/64 or Americana from the late 1970s, early 1980s).

ModelZone has become of a bit of a bargain centre over the last few months - and this little haul was picked up from next to nothing there. (well about £9.99 if I remember).

The normal retail on these models is about £30-35 - so again, when possible I snap these up without hesitation.

They are all of the usual AutoArt standard - excellent tampo-ing, attention to detail and so on - for a little more money you can buy a Corgi Vanguard with half the detail and the flaws in casting, so these Fast 5 present excellent VFM.

I would like to think that multiple models could be bought up and be Code 3'd - decals are available on eBay, and I think would make them look very good - no paint touching needed as the fit and finish is already spot on.

Hmmm.....now this has got me thinking.....
