Need help with a "possible" future project.

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?

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.

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.

Yep that style Opel Manta was Heavily influenced by the Monza's of the same time frame(They are Euro Cousins after all)....

If you have an e-bay account go to the international sites click on Germany and they have the resin Manta's for about 30Euro ($38 or there about) but I cant remember the dealers name. hope that'll push you in the right direction my friend.
