Todate I have located and obtained the following:

AUTOart 1/18 scale die cast (clearly the best I've seen)

Maisto 1/18 scale die cast

Maisto 1/36 scale die cast

Taymiya 1/24 scale plastic kit (right hand drive)

Tyco 'canned heat' radio control toy, approx 5-3/4" in length


Anyone know of any others?

Mind telling us where you found them and what you paid for them?

Thanks,

This is from a failing memory but you'll get the idea:

AUTOart is about $40. I've only seen it at speciality shops (model shops). Bought in silver to match mine.

Maisto 1/18 is $20 to $25 depending on the seller. I've seen it at both large retailers (Meijers in MI), model shops, and traveling model vendors that show up at the vintage races I attend. This I have in both red and in silver.

Maisto 1/36 is only $3 or so; it was in a box that said Road & Track collection or something like that. Got mine at Meijers as well. (Meijers is like Wallmart). In silver.

Taymiya 1/24 scale plastic kit (right hand drive) was $25. Got mine a craft shop in South Dakota. . . found it while the wife was looking for junk. Can be any color I want.

Tyco 'canned heat' radio control toy, approx 5-3/4" in length. $25, as I recall. Bought two, one at K-Mark and the other at Mejers. Both in red. . will trade for silver.

Hope that helps.

Ops, forgot one:

Maisto makes a 1/24 scale die cast which I have in red; best I can recall it was $15 or so. So, as you can see, Maisto has all the sizes covered.

I have a separate 1/24 scale collection of sportscars from 1947 on, that I've collected over many years and forgot this was first S2000 model I bought (before I even bought the real thing).

That scale is kind'a out of fashion these days, except for bottom end or top end stuff (ie, Franklin).

In addition to the ones you have, I also have:
-Maisto 1:24 (pre-built) bought at Twin Ring Motegi, Japan
-Maisto 1:24 (die cast model, Assembly Line collection)
-Honda Collection 1:43, bought at Twin Ring Motegi, Japan
-Penny Racers, bought or given to me in Japan
-Caricature S2000, unknown scale (about 1/40, to my estimation), looks like the caricature from the S2000 t-shirts
-various Matchbox sized S2000's: Honda Collection, Hot Wheels, and Tomica

. . . thanks. That's interesting I've checked the local small stuff several times over the past 6-months and have found nothing. Which suprised me, since there were plenty of Boxsters, Bimmers, etc.

Quess I'm just late to the party and the S2k's are all gone.

BTW,

Could you describe the -Maisto 1:24 (die cast model, Assembly Line collection)?

Is this a die cast kit? Or something else?

Thanks

Have you noticed for the LHD Maisto Die Cast Kits(Both in 1/24 and 1/18) that the engine compartment assy is for a RHD model car (Battery on left, Master Cylinder on Right).

I have both in yellow and have mused over this on and off for some time now.
