C-5 Models
I know this question may seem a little off the Forums usual track, but....I recently had surgery and am not currently able to drive my C-5 vert. (had surgery on my clutch foot). To keep busy during my downtime I was wanting to build a model of my vert that I could paint and customize to be a replica of my real car. I figured it would be a cool thing to do and a great way to occupy myself during my downtime.
The problem is I can't find a good source for quality plastic models.....does anyone have a good source?

I've seen lots of diecast and dealer models but I can't say that I've seen a kit where you have to put it together. You might try looking on www.gomotorbids.com
