Anyone know where to find a model?

Hi guys, haven't posted in awhile. Still enjoying the G, MUCH better with the Hotchkiss sway bar. Anyways, this might sound silly but I always buy a model car of all the cars I own. Does anyone know if there is a G37 Convertible out there? One of those die cast things. Not a matchbox car but relatively big. (10 inches or thereabouts) Oh, and I just got a new car. Say buh bye to the R8!

Yeah, it's where I get most of my models. Still haven't found the G37 Vert though. You would think there would be multiple Japanese ones. What's this thing called in Japan again? Fuga?

Still a nissan skyline. I've not seen anything for a vert though. Maisto and Jada Toys have a license for Infiniti vehicles 1:24 scale, so I'd start a search and inquiry there.

The 458 Italia is black metallic. It's not the black black but the black with metallic flake in it. Stunning car. Yes I know about the recall. It really only happens in high ambient temperature climates. In Dubai it was an issue and Ferrari is replacing the cars for those that had a problem. On a $300k car, that's pretty incredible customer service. In San Francisco, that's not a problem. In any event, mine has rivets not glue. Thanks for the heads up though. Oh and thanks for the links. I'm going to buy one of those. Now if I could just find a G37 Convertible model my toy collection would match my car collection.

OK. Nice. Yeah the issue is licensing. It seems the vert won't be made unless it's licensed. They should be coming out with the coupe soon. Seems there is a coupe (1:32 scale on ebay too)

Little too small. Bummer. I guess I'll just scan ebay every once in awhile.

Ha, no, I got rid of a BMW M6 Convertible for the G37s Convertible. Man the M6 was a HORRIBLE car. One of the worst I've ever owned and I'm a car nut. I got the R8 last year to replace a F430 Convertible. The 458 Italia will replace the R8 V10. Here's a pic of the 458 although mine is metallic black not flat black which I think is what this is. Same saddle interior as mine though.
