    I'm looking to add a good 275 to my collection and am seeking any suggestions as to the availability of models of the 275GTB4 & the 275 NART Spider. Would prefer 1/18 scale or at least 1/24. Thanks for the infomration.

    AFAIK, the only 1/18 275 was made by Ertl years ago. You can find them regularly on ebay like here:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330047118987

    It will take a fair amount of work to make it into a reasonable model. I have a couple stashed away to modify some day, but by the time I get to it, Exoto will probably have released theirs. Or not.

    Burago makes one in 1/24. It's better proportioned than the Ertl, but still not a great model. There's one on ebay here:

    For a really good model in 1/24, you need to go with a resin kit. To see how great these can turn out in the hands of a master model builder, look here (not a GTB/4, but you get the idea):
