This just came in the mail today. It's by New Ray in 1/24 scale and made from die cast metal and plastic. The color is not good but I am going to take it aprt and make my all black pure I sold in June. Nice little model for around $10. So happy to get a model 451 that's pretty much a US spec car....but for a few small details.
Main thing for me is that the proportions look right, the doors open and there's actually a decent interior. I want!
To be truly awesome tho, this would come in varying body-panel colors swappable with other smart cars.
I challenge ANYONE here who has bought a model from the dealer to look on the bottom of it and report back with the manufacture.
New Ray is an awesome bang for your buck manufacture of diecast. (I've collected diecast cars my entire life, sold a lot so now I'm only down to about 4000-5000 cars )
