I happened to be in Venice for work of all things last week. I spotted the usual selection of Burago 1/43 scale models in the windows of most of the tobacconists and newsagents in the city, but it wasn't until I got to Venice Marco Polo Airport I struck it lucky.

Here it is when I got home...



The proprietor of a model shop in Cannaregio has previously told me he knew of a white Burago 1/43 Panda, but it seems other colours are available

Was that bought in the shop in the airport that sells all things Ferrari?

Nice model and fun photo!

(Daughter is currently living near Venice.)

This was airside, on the mezzanine in the store that also sells the usual guilty-parent-who-needs-a-kiddy-souvenir chocolate and toys. Huge selection of Burago models.

You can find tons of them on ebay and in different colors too.

I'd like a Tuscany Green one, but nothing on the eBay or Amazon radar of they type as yet....

You & me both, the only difference is Id rather have one in 1/24th scale, oh yes and the trekking flavor as well
one day I may find a cheap play worn one and I can give it a respray
