Berkut 76 could you please advise ?
The Mustang looks really good especially the Bonnet/Hood in the Standard form.Emailed scale 1/18 ,but they dont take PayPal or Bidpay,are there any model outlets that do.
Oh Yeah have you seen the Welly 1/18 Suburban ,and how would you rate the actual model.

Cheers

Hello Highlander,
I know that www.scale18.com is accpeting moeny orders, but I don't know is there such a thing as an international money order available in Australia. If there is, you can contact www.scale18.com again. You other option will be to e-mail:
mtr@diecastmuscle.com , www.diecastmuscle.com also carries this model and MIGHT accept payments via BidPay or PayPal.
This would be my best advice on your payment options.

As for the Welly's Suburban, I don't really collect "toy store models" like Sun Star, Anson, Welly, BBurago, etc. I've heard that both, the Suburbans(paint jobs suck) & Avalanches are very toy like. You can't really expect more for $20US.

I hope I've been helpful,
Sergey

Thanks Sergey

Glad i asked about the Suburban your comment about a Toy Store model sounds to sum it up perfect.Will leave that alone.

The only Welly ive seen is my Moffat Mustang .

I just received one of the Clayton’s Moffat Cars from the US (less than $100AUD landed) The car and box have some minor changes to the Australian version. Missing decals etc but that’s actually a good thing. I can now put the correct logos (I found a site that does a decal sheet called "Moffat Mustang all versions" for $12.00)

The OFFICIAL Moffat release, that is also in my collection, is a model of the restored car and not the car as it raced. My new one will be closer to the real thing. It wont have the certificate but it will be closer to authentic and will look great along side my other Moffat cars.

For those interested the box has the car details listed as does the OFFICIAL one and the VIN number quoted and build date on both is the same so YES it is the Moffat car! :D

Moffat Fan,
where exactly did you order this from and how much was the shipping?

[Moffat Fan]

From Scale18, Based in Canada (their web address is in the thread above )

I paid on Credit Card in US $ and it converts to arround $100AUD

Now waiting for the decals to arrive to finish the job.

Hope this helps LAX:)

Scale18 are out of stock but there a rew other places that have them available. Thanks for the info.

BTW if you are getting your decals from "Pattos Place" then you might want to specify actual decal size rather than simply a scale. I have ordered 1/18th scale decals from him before to add tobacco sponsorship to some of my F1 models and had to re-order to get exactly the right size.

He will do custom sizes and also also create new sheets if you send him the artwork. The Rothmans Racing one is one of mine!
Quality is OK with a semi matt finish. Not as good as Tamiya style decals but great for the price!
