1:18 diecast GTS blue/white

[John Johns]

Does anyone make a highly detailed model? I have a Burago, but the quality and accuracy aren't that great.

John here's a Maisto GTS. I added blue seats though.

Is it possible to still get either model? If so, where? How about 1:24 scale?

Maisto,Burago,and Autoart make some of the best IMHO...

Now a days since they are out of production, you must resort to Ebay, they have alot of them, 1/18, 1/24. 1/32. 1/43, and so on...it is like a candy store to me.....

Bburago's aren't very detailed, but best in proportion. Maisto's don't look as good, but are slightly better detailed.
So customs are a good solution.

The most detailed B/W GTS are the Brookfield Collectors Guild Models. You can catch them on ebay from time to time, depending on the edition, the price ranges from $60.00 to $140.00.

The body is constructed from the same material the actual car is made of. The engine compartment, seats and undercarriage are also highly detailed. The only incorrect detail is they have side exhaust. I assume the were replicating the GTS Prototype, which did have side exhaust.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that one was 1:25 scale.

I am not postive, but it's definately not 1:18. But they are still the most detailed models out there.

Yes, I found it. Scale 1:25.
And yes, it's the concept. Gray interior, different bumper and sidepipes. Even though it says "1997".
I have never seen that car in person unfortunately, but a lot of 1:24 / 1:25 manufacturers have awesome quality and detail work.
Take Franklin Mint for instance.
So yeah, that would be an alternative.
