Above link - This is the Busch catalog. 11mb PDF. I use the Busch part numbers to google search and find online stores.
Keep in mind a lot of these are the earlier 450 smart model. But I'm guessing the new model will begin to show soon.
The biggest manufacture of small scale models I have run accross so far is from Busch (they have some 451s) . Over a 100 different HO and n-scale cars for scale model train builders. The link for above for the lapel pins (Eurorail Hobbies) has other Busch smart stuff. I love wearing the lapel pin, people always notice!! Busch is also the manufacture of the smart car model dealership tower and show room.
Maisto is another manufacture that makes quite a few different smarts in lager scale than HO. Very good quality. Mostly 1:33 and 1:18 scale from what I've got. The cars at KDMV and Diecastblast are Maisto brand.
There is also a Revell Profinish snap together model out there. Disconntinued of course, I've only managed to snag just 1 that's new in box.
A really great place to find stuff is eBay.uk. The cars have been over there longer so there is more stuff available. Stuff I found there was smart cars from Kinder Chocalate treats, Matchbox smarts, etc etc
I've also scored from eBay US. A 2006 and 2007 press release kit. Bump-n-go smarts (make whacky music, bump of objects while doors open and close automatically during the dance .. I know!! lame but it's a smart car so it goes in the collection.
My 2 latest orders were from smarttune.co.uk and modellbahn-kramm. Two mini remote control cars and two polo shirts from smarttune and some Busch models, a monster smart (part # 48984, received today) and a couple others from modelbahn-kramm
And most often I always buy 2 of each. One to leave in the box and the other to play with .. of course.
FYI ... I had the Monster Smart back ordered since April 07. Reason limited edition and 1 per order.
Enjoy!!
