Default S2000 scale models

I don't have a single scale model of a car so won't admitting to knowing much about them, but...

...I'd like to get one of a MY04 Yellow S2000, ideally in 1/18 .

So the question is, did they ever made a scaled down model in face lifted guise?

Google hasn't shown much promise thus far and neither has this thread:
https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/442318-official-model-toy-s2000-thread-post-your-pics/

Do we have any owners/collectors or 'enthusiastics' out there? It seems to be a relatively popular hobby...!?

This is possibly the closest you will get, it's out of production but they do come up on fleabay time to time.

Nice one!

Yep, I've see AUTOart show up quite a few times in search results.

They don't seem to have any facelifted ones. This seems to be the closest [for Yellow]:

Any use?

Not much point a model Co. retooling for the facelift, would cost too much.

Thanks Rich, I did see that but in some photo's the colour looks quite off, e.g:


...and I was really hoping to find a MY04 shape! It seems there are some 'RC drift' cars in the facelifted shape though with wide bodies and big price tags, and a kind of 'build it from scratch' approach...

So the other option is- The tamiya 1/24 scale kit, this is called the "new" version, if you have a kit building mate who could do mods for you? well known auction site no. 160594975246

Thanks again . I also saw that, and whilst it states 'new' version it clearly isn't the revised front end. Maybe it's the wheels that are 'new'...

This is the only type I've found so far...

But you'll see from those links the attention to detail is... lacking and most of the design is sticker based.

Those two are R/C models (as is the white one) so any detail would get knocked off, the purple one is ghastly!
My point with the tamiya kit is it could be customised.
