Re: seppuku 1/43 Collection...
Trust me, I found myself on ebay looking at Make Up models. It would only be this brand, if I were to collect 1/43. Maybe a couple of others. Most of the rest have that 1/43 syndrome where you can tell the model is 1/43 cause the shape is off. When I look at a Make Up, I can't even tell that it's a 1/43. It's sharp, crisp, and on point.seppuku wrote:Two 1/43's is a good start...hopefully it's the beginning of something....

Absolutely! Mel Gibson would be proud!...
So....here it is...last piece in my collection as it stands (for now)....
Model #166....
US Postal Truck, White
Oh Yeah!!! Open/Close model, Baby! Take that, BBR/Makeup!!!!
Having collected since 2010, I can proudly say that not once has any of my model car packages been lost, stolen, or arrived damaged...
Men/Women of the USPS along with other postal systems around the world truly do a tremendous and thankless job ensuring that we all receive our parcels in a safe and timely manner...Certain issues are out of their control(customs, weather, etc.)
All in all, very pleased with their service...
Has been a very nice run thus far, and I hope to continue collecting...
Long live 1/43 scale!! ( and a few others in between)
Happy collecting, everyone!

I assume you're still collecting 1/18...Makeup does produce that scale and they're excellent!!StratosWRC wrote:Trust me, I found myself on ebay looking at Make Up models.

1/18 goes anywhere in the neighborhood of $500-$550...again, could be more/less depending on color selections...
