the more I look the more amazed I am! It has real cloth seat belts that move with a clip that slides up and down the belt! Even has the emmision decals in the engine bay. I got one on ebay, we'll see how it does.

I find it interesting they used a very early, limited production 308 for the model/pattern. It appears to be an early fiberglass dry-sump version. In the engine picture, is the silver area behind the (LHD) driver an oil tank?
The all amber turn signals in the rear with the reverse lamps in the bumper is very rare as is the single tip exhaust. That being said, it is long overdue for a quality 1:18 scale 308 model to be made. Kyosho is one of the best IMO. Yes they use real leather and have incredible detail.

What I'd like to know, is why are you Torontonians getting the models first before us Vancouverites? These models come from Asia and we are the gateway to Asia, so what's up with this?

For the Torontonians among us...

I was just on Yorkville Ave yesterday (Sat.) and RaceBuffs on the NORTH side of the street halfway between Bay and Avenue Rd.. has a few of the yellow 308s for $80. In addition 3 or 4 red/black 512BBs and what got me drooling: 2 yellow Daytonas. VERY nice.

Also: MiniGrid in Unionville has the yellow 308 but i only saw one. Same price i think...

GT

PS alittle off topic on this thread but... Yesterdays Yorville Ferrari sightings tally:
1 black 348 GTS
1 red 348 Spider
1 red 328 GTS
2 360 Modenas Red and Silver

Hi Kristoffer,

we stock some models but not the normal ones as they are so terribly expensive to ship due to the weight and volume of the models + box.

Best,

Does anyone know a good internetsite for purchase of 1:18 scale models? Hotwheels are hard to come by in local shops here in sweden...

109 CDN is around US$ 77.00, right?

Would you guys pay US$ 99.99, shipping included if you could buy it over the internet?

retail in Canada is $109.00. This is a beauty!! The cover over the spare tire is real leather!! and the rear luggage compartment cover is also real leather!! I think this model far out does the Kyosho BB512 in detail and over all quality!!
