Default Model S2000's

Guys, I seem to be having a mare of a time finding a model S2000 for my youngest son ;-(

I know Maisto do a 1:18 or 1:24 model but have had no joy locating one at any online stores. The local Honda dealers say they used to sell them but dont any more.

Any one brought one recently and can point me to an on-line dealer, preferably UK based.

Thanks,

Paul

Are these motorised models you're looking for, or just models?

If the latter, Kobe is very generously sending 4 scale models for the SuperMeet draw (see the 'SuperMeet Update' thread) so you might win one. And, if you don't, I'm sure you'll be able to do a deal with someone who does

I know large Tesco's stock them - well at least our local one did last time I was in there.

Happy hunting!

Yep - I've bought 2 different sizes from Tescos (one red, one yellow !)

Char-g make radio-controlled ones (run a search for Andy_Pandy's thread on the ones he bought - they look so cool )

I have 6 in total.
The 1:18 Autoart is by far the best quality die cast model available, the detail is superb.
You can see some of them in this picture.





I had to import my Autoart from www.exoticar.com they were quick and efficient to deal with.

Just had a look at the SuperMeet prize list again and there's a Maisto 1:18 model S2000 red/black on there as well as the 1/28 scale models from Kobe!
