1:18 MC12...
i've never posted in this section before, but to bring you up to speed, I have 71 1:18th models, and I want an MC12 to add to the collection, it must be 1:18th scale.
I know HotWheels will be releasing one *shudders at the thought of another crappy quality model*, but i've also heard MiniChamps are going to release one. Does anyone know how good MiniChamps models are? I have heard that their Aston DB9 is of high standards, but not quite AutoArt or Kyosho standards, I'm not bothered if its the road version or an FIA GT car, but I dont want the all blue one I saw at Geneva, I did have a look here and only found info on a 1:43 scale model Vitaphone model, but I think in 1:18th (for now anyway) its the 2 show cars from Geneva, the blue and white, and the blue car...
So really my question is, does anyone have any experience with modern MiniChamps models (i know the older ones wernt great, which is why I have none in my collection), or if there is a higher quality model coming soon, with the exception of one company I found making only a few models, priced at over £140, which is too much for me

Have a look in my thread and you'll see some pics of the Minichamps DB9 -->
I'll save you searching, here are my pics of it:

I would love to see some of your 71 models, you should start your own topic with pics of them.

you could pay €170.83 for a high quality 1/43 model, but Hot Wheels seems to have the best bids at the moment for an August release in 1:18th scale, i'm still researching if Minichamps or a higher quality model will be released in the near future

Rumours say that BBR's next 1/18 project will be the MC12.. But nothing official yet...
