Siddvi's Collection

Nice......didn't even know 1:50 existed!!!! How big is the truck exactly, in terms of the length and breadth in inches??

[siddvi]

^^^, yes 1:50 is also a popular scale for trucks and buses. Depending on the models, they measure 6-10 inches in length and about 1.5 - 2inches wide/high . Will post a comparison shot later of a 1:50 scale with a 1:24 or 1:18.

Here's a 1:50 Scale - GM Coach Transit Bus from Corgi Classics.

Sid, the bus looks great. Where did u get the Bus and Trucks to your collection from.
Till now i have not seen any in the shops i have seen here @ Bangalore, and the eBay store where i brought few models.

Awesome bus! Agree with everyone, reminds me of speed. are the door's openable? It will be great if you could take snaps of the bus and trucks with regular 1:24 and 1:18 cars so we can see how big these giants are.

same's here.

Sid your collection is truly marvelous.

[siddvi]

Thanks All.

The models in my collection were picked abroad during my stay/visits.

@vaas2000: I too wish the doors on the bus were openable but sadly they don't.

For scale comparison, here's a 1:18 Thunderbird, 1:24 Lexus IS350 and the 1:50 Transit Bus
