    All below are great, and fit into your price range.

    Dino 246GT:
    Kyosho - 1:18 - Limited edition (resin). 2 color choices. Highly detailed, high end model, though now sold out - hard to find, but not impossible. Great model, I have one in my collection.
    Top Marques - 1:12 - Limited production. Very New.... just starting to produce and ship. 3 color choices. Detail looks good, though have only seen photos.

    Jaguar E Type Coupe:
    GT Spirit - 1:12 - Limited production. 2 color choices. Great model, I have one in my collection.

    Next up from Hiro is another 1/12th scale F1 kit. Looks late 1980's Lotus???

    Also the 1/24th scale Ferrari 488 is now listed on the Hiro website. Cost including shipping is around $220.00. Avoid Ebay for this kit.

    FPPM Fernando Pinto says he is working on several Alfa Romeo P3's 1932-1935 in 1/24th scale, but before that he will do a "Surprise" along the same lines....Can't wait to see what it is.

    FPPM's next 1/24th kit is the Auto Avio Costruzione 815 or the first car Enzo Ferrari made by himself.

    It would be kind of neat to have the 815, except it isn't a very attractive car.

    The Ford GT didn't run in 2015 (only 2016 and 2017)

    But the picture shows the car that appeared on static display in 2015 ( the No.66 in a different font from the race cars)

    If it is the display car then it's a strange choice ;-)

    I think it is the 2016 or 2017, my mistake. I hope it is 1/24th and not 1/25th. I did not buy their C7R because of that. Bought the Carrera 1/24th slot instead, wich is better I might add.

    I am with you there about 1/24 - I also have avoided the C7R

    It looks like it is being done by Revell of Germany in 1/24th according to one of the model websites. I will ask Ed Sexton what scale it is tomorrow.

    By the way, Scale Designs will re release the Pan American 1952 and 1953 Porsche 356 pre A 1/43rd and 1/24th scale sheets. Also the Alfa 1900 Pan Am 1954 sheet in 1/24th scale.

    Scale Designs will also do the FIA Group A Alfa Romeo GTV6 Jolly Club and Luigi racing 1983/84 cars in 1/24th scale as a conversion kit with wheels/spoiler/decals.

    Scale Designs is also thinking about doing the Texaco Garage Francorchamps Dino 246 decals in 1/24th. Not for sure yet.

    Profil 24 2018 planned releases:

    • 1/12 Ferrari 250 LM Le Mans 1965
    • 1/12 Ferrari 312 P Speeder Sebring/Monza 1969
    • 1/24 Jaguar Type D le Mans 1955 & Le Mans 1956
    • 1/43 Matra 670 Le Mans 1973 (n°10/11/12 & n°14)

    And teasers from Model Factory Hiro for 2018:

    "We are currently planning and developing kits for next year and hope to provide you with more new kits in the year of 2018, including a Ferrari from the 1960`s, a Lotus from the 1960`s, two McLaren F1`s, a 1984 F1, 1/9 Motorcycle variations etc. We hope you will look forward to the release lineup for 2018."

    Since they mainly do 1/12th now this could be interesting. They do atleast 12 kits a year so this is just the beginning. I want a 1/12th Ferrari 330 LMB and #6885 !!

    Have a happy holiday.
