My first Brazilian model

Post by RacingFreak »

I guess it's now my turn to get into collecting Brazilian models :P

This one is a result of a pretty hard deal between me and a Brazilian seller called Alberto from http://miniaturasfonseca.loja2.com.br/

I traded in a good amount of Bulgarian models to get this one directly from Brazil in exchange ;)

Now that I finally managed to get one after a lot of searching, my Rover 3500 collection is pretty much completed and on top of that I managed to secure a wheel variation of an usual England bronze issue, but it will be shown in the dedicated thread soon ;)

Thank you Jim!

I'm myself also surprised that I was even able to find it at all and in such awesome condition. It is such an awesome model when you have it in hands, the pre-pro livery pattern is very appealing (and did I mention the windows casting difference!!), so that I'm willing to add some more of these, it is about time I guess. There are 2 more variations enlisted on Christian's site and it will definitely be fun searching for them!

In the other thread I will make some comparisons between the England/Macau base model and this one soon.
