    Guys,

    I'm losing my mind. I'm looking for the best quality 1/18 scale F2007 I can find. Hotwheels has a Kimi "Elite" coming out, or may be out now for all I know. But we all know what to expect from HW. I'm looking for a stunner. Any suggestions?

    I say the HW F1's are not to bad. Now the brought out the correct darker red color. So I say go for the HW. Otherwise get one build.

    You could take a look at the upcoming realease from Mattel for the 200 wins version, has the model for the latter part of the season or wait for the World Driver Champion Edition...

    That's the model I'm looking at, but the quality of these models is just terrible. Most of my 1/43s have better quaility.

    If you want to have quality, but mainly older cars. Try to get your hand on Exoto. I have a couple of them but they are just unbelievable. Though pretty expensive :(

    Looove the Exoto, but the bloody Ferrari deal with Mattel won't allow a decent 1/18 model of a modern F1 Ferrari to be released. Hence my post here....

    I know there are better casting out there that are better then some...but I don't have any problems with the Hot Wheels F1's. There are going to be 4 or 5 Elite Michael Schumacher F1's out pretty soon so I would wait to see how those are.
    I'm sure they wont be anything like a Exoto but again the Elites are only around $50.00 - $80.00 USD.
    Personally I would first get a Paul Model art 310 (either one) then get all the Hot Wheels F1's. There are other brands as well like Minichamps and Onyx.
