Nice range but all the 1:18 range is out of stock. The smaller sizes are too fiddly for me. I might have a look at their open day on Friday though. Anyone know of a company that does a 1:18 Porsche 917?

Steve, Autoart have, over the years, done a number of 917s - K and LH - in 1:18

About to purchase Profil 24's Drayson Racing Lola kit in the next few days and I already have their Frying Gizzard Porsche 911 art car which is a lovely kit and looks great when built. If i ever get round to building it that is.

When the boy was young, you could get basic 1/18 for a fiver.  We have a Cobra, 959, GT40 and an F40.  I inherited a display cabinet at the time, and they're still in there with the Mamod traction engine, and the XJR9 kit, which took ages to build
