Have you seen Murenas in some of the larger scales like 1:24 or 1:18? I know Simon sells a plastic modell set, unsure about the size of that one Title: Re: Matra modelcars Post by: Jon Weywadt on November 04, 2011, 11:15:20 am Kind of a long trip for some models thou... Have you seen Murenas in some of the larger scales like 1:24 or 1:18? I know Simon sells a plastic modell set, unsure about the size of that one The only Murena models out there are 1:43, like the Baghera on top in your photo. I thought of buyin one, but think 1:43 is too small. I would want at least 1:24.

I bought a platine Murena modell on ebay, I like it. And I could not stop so I had to buy a 1:1... ;D The racing transporter is cool! Title: Re: Matra modelcars Post by: RazorbackNOR on December 12, 2011, 12:26:02 pm Perhaps a little christmas present for myself this x-mas...? ;D

Check the prices because they can be varied on ebay. But if I remember well, this seller was the cheapest. Title: Re: Matra modelcars Post by: RazorbackNOR on January 02, 2012, 08:04:55 am Found some new ones today:

(http://inlinethumb06.webshots.com/49221/2904984180103429640S600x600Q85.jpg) I've also got some Matra 1:43 kits that I've not built yet. When I started collecting, the only Murena model was this (and variations of it): (http://inlinethumb30.webshots.com/41245/2482853590103429640S600x600Q85.jpg) I bought some to modify. Got as far as this with my conversion (which was already a lot of work): (http://inlinethumb59.webshots.com/46202/2791266220103429640S600x600Q85.jpg) I was very pleased that, finally, a good scale model was available. But it is such a pity that the Ixo 1:43 model's rims – even though they are very nicely reproduced – look like 17" (http://inlinethumb38.webshots.com/47717/2314534080103429640S600x600Q85.jpg) I would LOVE a 1:18 Murena – keep hoping that it will appear one day. Title: Re: Matra modelcars Post by: speedyK on February 05, 2013, 11:33:32 pm I would LOVE a 1:18 Murena – keep hoping that it will appear one day. thought it should be mentioned here to keep this thread useful for people who search for Matra models.
