  • Die Cast Models

    Does anyone know if there is a good die cast model of an xs11 out there. I found one at 1:24 but it's detail and quality doesnt look great. I'd like something in a 1:12 or 1:16.
    1980 SG. (Sold - waiting on replacement)
    2000 XJR1300. The Real modern XS11. Others are just pretenders.

    Woman (well, my wife anyway) are always on Transmit and never Receive.

    I've never seen a die-cast, but there is a plastic model of the US-version '78E. Made by 'Union Model Co Ltd' (Japanese) and out of production, but they turn up on Ebay every once in a while. Oh yeah, it's a 1:15 scale kit. Fairly nice detail, has 'chrome' parts and decals, but you'll have to do some painting to get it 'right'.
