Abell82 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I recently stumbled across a pic on the 'net, of a Manta 400. Needless to say I was instantly intrigued. I have looked for a kit, but not been able to find one. There is a resin version by Narton Model Cars, (Narton Model cars) but they only seem to ship to dealers? Anyone know where I can get a kit of one of these beauties? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyFan Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 It looks very similar to the Chevy Monza 2+2. Just with a bit of a sedan back end added. Maybe you could scratchbuild off of that, if you have the skills. I know that I personally wouldn't. Well, not yet anyway. Don't know if that'll help you out.

Abell82 Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 The problem isn't that it's diecast, it's that it's 1/18th scale. I would prefer something in 1/24th or 1/25th scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep that style Opel Manta was Heavily influenced by the Monza's of the same time frame(They are Euro Cousins after all).... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
