Scale Models In Oz?

Can anyone tell me where I might get a scale model of a CR/W MCS with a sunroof. I've actually seen one that has the sunroof and doors that open. I'm told that it's common for MC owners to have an exact model as well. If I can get one it will make the waiting until April go quicker. Won't it?

I've only seen one set of MCS - it's kitted with the Oracari (sp?) kit and other rice enhancements. It only comes in black or EB.

That's the one I've bought recently (mine's blue) and cost me $20AUD. Yes $20AUD.

It's one huge mofo to navigate between tight corners in the house.

To date I've bought 3 Mini R/C in the past week.........

The dealer ones are pretty good - made by a company I can't remember their name

I've got the exact specs of my car pretty much apart from the wrong colour roof

Hey Tux...

We were talking about this in Aussie banter the other day for a few posts - I found a MCS in CR/W with a sunroof about 8 months ago just after I got my car... I think it was by AutoART or AUTOart - it was very good - it had S spokes etc... I went back to buy it and it had gone

The dealer only has t colors for the MCS - a DS/W and a BRG from memory - no CR/W - IF you have a MC, there are hundreds of them in just about evrery color imaginable!

Good luck in your hunting - if you find something, let me know - I'll get one too!

Todd

Have you had a look at this thread?
http://www.mini2.com/forum/showthread.php?t=39359

Ask the guys in there who makes the type of model you're looking for, then you can hunt down the Australian distributors.

I have a CR/W MC scale model bought from the dealers. It`s made by Kyosho and has an opening sunroof. I bought it cos I couldn`t get my hands on a real Mini.....still can`t yet. PM me if you want it....

You can still get these from your dealer.

Tux is (I assume like me) particularly after a MCS - with the sunroof...

Thanks for the offer anyway...

I saw the Kyosho 1:18 one yesterday, I nearly creamed my pants when I saw it - it's virtually the same **** as the Greendevil minus the white strip on the bonnet

Too bloody bad it's $448HKD or almost $80AUD for a toy? The price tag stopped me getting it but if anyone wants me to get it for them then PM me.

Oh there are some tiny 1:18 MCS in all sorts of colours with all sorts of flags, nicely made too lol. $68HKD or $12AUD a hit, there's even a white one with Japan flag on top and the red dot all over the body. I have yet to find one in the Aussie flag though.

$80 isnt that much for a model - I have paid $250 for a model of my old BMW 2002... the dealer charges a mint for most of theirs...
