They have 1/18 scale C7's in Night Race Blue, Crystal Red and Laguna Blue here at a very good price. Got some in 1/24 scale also.

They have them at Costco in Aberdeen Scotland if you can believe it.
I am here on a business trip and stopped by today with nothing better to do. I got the red one paying a small premium of just under 11 GBP - but since there are not in demand here in the UK, at least I didn't have to pay a deposit and get on the waiting list...!
Now to try and get the darn thing stuffed into my small TravelPro without smashing it up.

I have a night race blue model that I bought on line. It seems to be a lot larger then yours. What scale is your model? I saw smaller Maisto models at Carlisle in the Museum display.

Great deal C6Bob. I paid $27.. But I love the model

Well, first of all, it won't start! The wipers seem to be fused together, and I can't get the the valve stem caps off.
