Post by: Tamiyoman on September 07, 2012, 09:08:09 am: NOREV are accepted as a good scale model in 1/18th, believe they also made an Edition in that scale too (limited edition tho), search for NOREV Golf GTI on Ebay and you will finnd lots of them :happy2:

Bought the Novrev 1:18 which seemed the only option. Not bad for £55 on EBay.
