Looking for 1/18 Subaru - where to buy, please ?

Hello all,

Would you know a good place (in Europe or maybe in the USA, or even anywhere else) where to buy AutoArt or such 1/18 models for reasonable prices ?

A friend of mine is looking for a McRae 98 Sub' to complete his gal's Subaru collection, but I'm involved only in kits... And in France such 1/18 models are as rar as expensive.

He also may be interested in finding 1/18 Subaru models from other brands and other years, too, if he hasn't them yet.
Could anyone list me some models and brands I'd be able to find, please ?
I already know Solido model, of course, but it's a 2003 model if I remember well... And I know there are some other brands, a bit cheaper but with less quality, but I can't remembre their names anymore...

BTW he also asked me for a 95 Gr. A subaru but it never has been released in 1/18, right ? :dunno:

Thanks by adance :wink:

I believe there was a '95 GrpA diecast available, it's just really rare.

Thanks for the links, I've taken a quick look on the two german stores... (the 2 first link are useless, the first is an artist webpage and the second is about a french brand I already met in Paris which release tuning TKs for 1/18 )
I couldn't find any 98 Sub in these stores but saw that the 2007 is already released.
I will inform my friend he can offer it to his girlfriend :wink:

First link should have been http://www.autoartmodels.com

there has been a conversion done of the grpA 1995 car but never released officially. AA did the 99 Burns Monte (both w/ and w/out lightpod) and his Tour de Corse car; all three incredibly hard to find. These are the only 'old spec' 2 door subarus which have been released of SWRT; otherwise there was a limited release by Biante through AA of the 99 Bourne Saxon Safari car. None of the McRae subarus have been done in 1/18 yet.

Outside this there were the 2001 Monte (w/ and w/out lightpod) and 2001 Portugal cars of Burns done along w/ the 2001 Portugal car of Solberg (another rare one an SWRT release). From 02 there is the Makinen Monte car (w/ and w/out lightpod) and the Germany car (limited release by SWRT w/ a special base)

AA have done the 2003 Monte and Tour de Corse cars of Solberg, 2004 Acropolis and Japan, 2005 Mexico and Monte Carlo, 2006 Monte carlo and 2007 Monte carlo cars all of Solberg
