Lotus 49

My rekindled interest in GPL has given me desire to have a nice 1967 Lotus 49 on my desk under my monitor. I've had a look around the 'bay and there are a few 1:43s that look OK, but I rather fancy a nice big 1:18 - but not for silly money. Any thoughts? Anyone got one? Or is there a particularly good 1:43rd?

I can’t help, but I’m wanting a good model for work desk too. Not decided on the model.
Good luck.

Quartzo has done some 43s and 18s. The 43s look a bit poor and the 18s look..., well fine for the money I suppose but not spectacular.

Half of these seem to be incorrectly listed, which isn't helpful. But apart from Exoto, these seem to be the only ones available. Price is reasonable - quality is up to you to decide if these are good enough.

If you're after something historic then Norev have a couple of nice ones out at the moment which are cheap and 1:18. Porsche 962s and 917ks for example.

Norev can be a little hit and miss. The Audi R10 was great, but the Peugeot 908 was crap. But on the flip side, AutoArt did a 917k that was absolutely horrendous, especially for the price. The Norev one looks much better. I think (but not sure) that Norev supplies tobacco stickers with the Lucky Strike and Rothmans Porsches as well.

Thanks very much. I'd have the Exoto, but it's too much dosh for a model to sit on my desk......
