United Kingdom 2016 Range Rover Autobiography TDV6 Carpathian Grey
1/18th Scale FFRR Model??

Sad i know, but for the last few years i've purchased an 1/18th scale model of the cars i've owned & other than them always being LHD, they're in the actual colour of car i had, such as an Interlagos Blue E60 M5, Sprint Blue B7 RS4, Storm White R35 GT-R & my current stead, a Monte Carlo Blue F10 M5.

I've searched high & low in t'internet & can't find any decent 1/18th L405 models & certainly none in any colour that even seems current, let alone Carpathian. Even LR don't appear to sell them.

Now a couple of those i already own came from obscure retailers & i think one came form the US & one from eBay Germany, but i tracked them down after asking on the relevant forum.

My hope is some of you folk may perhaps be as sad as me & own a quality 1/18th model of your car & could direct to where i may find them??

Thanks in advance.

United States 2011 Range Rover Autobiography Supercharged Santorini Black

I collect the 1/18 just like you. Having always had black Range Rovers I've been lucky with the color matching.

I have is a Welly model 11006 1/18, they call it the 2013 model. It's black with the 22" wheels. I originally bought it on Amazon this past summer. But it appears that link is no longer valid. A Google search found some other sellers.

While I really like the overall quality I do find the front RANGE ROVER lettering gets caught by the cloths my cleaning people use and it's taken some of those letters off.

Good luck!

United Kingdom 2013 Range Rover Vogue SDV8 Corris Grey

I searched ebay last year and found quite a few 1:18 scale models, but I thought they were overpriced (I also collect 1:18 scale). I searched 1:18 ( as opposed to 1/18 ) and L405 and got these...(although does seem to be red/white or black only)...

Thanks all, but this is now proving very frustrating as i can only find standard Black/Red or White & none in either AB Spec or at the very least with the correct wheels.

Kind of annoying as although i don't mind paying £120 for what looks like a quality product, at that price point i'd want it a little closer to what i'm buying visually. I'm amazed LR themselves don't have a range as both BMW & Audi do so i'd guess most other Mfctrs offer these.

The Welly models are what i'm looking at but none have any variant of the 22" wheels.

I guess if i can't find anything closer then i'll just have to go for what's available & in Black.

Just bought this one as couldn't find anything closer to mine for love nor money. At least it's a dark colour. I would still have thought LR would do a range somewhere in the world as never had an issue getting the exact colour in an 1/18th scale model for previous cars.

As per my original post, i've for the last 10yrs or so collected an 1/18th scale model of the car i've owned at the time, so now have 4 which exactly match (other than with the exception of the R35 GT-R the side the wheel's on) the car i've owned & i wanted to carry that on with my inbound FFRR.

It's always been possible to source either from the cars manufacturer in the case of the BMW M's or from various online options the relevant car in the exact colour, however the FFRR has defeated me so i'm having to make do with a regular black model.
