    Hi All,
    I mostly hang out in the Mondial forum, but I'm getting into collecting some models. I buy pre-built only. I like looking at them, not building them. So far it's very basic stuff...Just a 1:43 Mondial 8 by Hot Wheels and a few 1:43 F1 models I bought from a place in Italy. In addition I've just bought a Kyosho 1:18 365GTB/4 Competizione, and someone from this forum is building me a 1:18 version of my car using a couple different Mondial models as a base.

    So, my dumb questions!

    There are a few models I'd love to have. Does anyone know where I can find good/high quality 1:18 (pre-built) model of a...

    365 GT 2+2
    212 Inter Europa (Pininfarina) - like the one recently offered at RM Sothebys in Monterey.
    308 GT/4 Dino
    Dino 246GT coupe

    While we're at it, I'd love to hear thoughts on where to get the best 1:18 model of an early Porsche 911 or 912.

    While I'm willing to hunt around on ebay, models that are currently available would be great.

    Thanks everyone!

    Hot Wheels made the 308 GT4 Dino and 246 GT Dino. But they've lost their license. You can still find them on Ebay though.
    Further Kyosho recently announced a 246 GT Dino. I think in resin with non opening parts. Haven't seen it on Ebay yet.
    Autoart makes a 1964 Porsche 911 in several colours.

    I don't know any models of the 365 GT 2+2 in 1:18th scale. No 212 Inter either, but there is a 342 America available by ABC.

    Kyosho has a great looking 911 - early one in 1/18. I think you can find it on Ebay. not cheat.

    also check out BBR for the 365models, - very expensive, but I think I remember seeing one when I was in Italy a while ago at Shopping Formula one.
