lol yeah thats ok ;) i waited and saved for a bit to get this model :)

Say, you wouldn't happen to know where one can pick up a 1/24th scale Holden HSV would you? I can't wait for that car to come to the US as the Pontiac GTO. You Aussi's get all the good GM cars.

All or most of the HSV models here some in mainly 1/18 scale and are limited to a set amount made. There is currently a HSV GTO model here in aus but it wont look exactly the same as the one the states are gunna get. The front grill and bumper are sightly different.

I'll put a pic here of it :)

Cool. Yea, I'm looking for a yellow Holden HSV. I'm not worried about it looking like the pontiac. Personally I'd rather have the HSV badging than the Pontiac badging.

If you here of any in 1/24th scale let me know. Thanks.

Hmm i think they may do a HSV GTO in yellow with silver spoilers but its 1:18 scale. All HSV's thus far to come out here have been 1/18, ive never seen a 1/24 in the HSV model range but will always keep an eye open for ya just in case ;) and yeah i like the HSV badging on mine too :)

Great models.Love what you did to the Viper.

IF you can find one to buy new in shops here(which I havent seen for a while) you'd be looking at anywhere between $145- $220 AUD, dependng on whether or not someone would depart with one if you went second hand :). I have seen some for sale second hand going for over $100 at ebay.com.au you could have a look there under diecast cars.
Oh and btw The VL model is a HSV Group A SS Walkinshaw ;)
