Model Chim

[sheddybong!]

I was at the Classic Cars Live thingy at Ally Pally on Sunday and casually asked one of the scale model dealers if he had a Chimaera. £71.50 later I'm clutching a Mica Blue / Magnolia MSTS version of my own car (well almost, mine's Starmist). Chuffed to bits, but was I robbed?

Was he wearing a red and black hooped jumper, a mask and carrying a sack with 'Swag' written on it?

At that price he ought to.

Not if it's 1:1 scale and has an engine

What Scale? My personalised Crimson Starmist 1:43 scale Chim cost "ME" nearly a ton!

It's seems a bit steep when you can get a 1:18 Die cast Tuscan with far more body detail and definition for around a 1/4 of that price!

Can't remember the scale but it's about the size of a fag packet and pretty heavy. Sits on a wee plinth and looks pretty cool. Lot of dosh, but I didn't want to think back and regret not buying it. Maybe a mug would've been more appropriate though....

Sounds as though they found one when I bought mine.

Any pictures?

I'm guessing it was from these guy's www.smtsmodels.demon.co.uk/catalog/classicbritish/classicbritish3.htm

If so it will look similar to this

That's the beastie! Mine's on a plinth though, hence the extra sixty quid...
