| Since we have such an international and diverse group here I thought that I would put this request out with the hope that someone will come through for me.
I am looking for a scale model of, most specifically, a Honda Helix (aka CN250, Spazio), and also for scale models of our Silverwing as well as a model of a Honda Pacific Coast (PC800).
While I would prefer models in larger scale, e.g. 1:12, 1:18, 1:24, etc, but I will consider anything that shows up.
I've tried eBay, Amazon, and several Model forums with no success.
Thanks in advance for any help.

| The Silverwing is available in 1:18 from an English company. It is in the same price range as Maisto.The brand is Welly. If anyone can source these, I want one too. Over here I need to purchase 12 with an unknown random selection of other bikes.PIA . |

Sits in front of me on the desk as I type! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-SILVER-WING-WELLY-DIECAST-MOTORCYCLE-MODEL-1-18-COLLECTIBLE-MODEL-NEW-/151436135601?pt=Diecast_Vehicles&hash=item23424c0cb1 The website show lots of other two-wheelers. http://www.wellydiecast.com/product.php?cid=1&sid=3 Graham. |

| Wow That is expensive, The Bonnie I bought was only around $AU14.00 retail. I just could not get what I wanted because the hobby shops wont stock them. According to them, they can only buy them in carton lots of which the contents are at random. This does not guarantee that they will even receive the one you want. I also want the MuZ1000. The retailers wont buy extra because they want to get rid of the 1st box first,.. As it is I have not seen them around at all in over 12 months. The quality is not as good as Maisto, and definitely nowhere near IXO. |

Yes, it looks like the seller had put the price up since I got mine. Found this one in Poland - lot cheaper, if the seller is for real. Caveat emptor, as the educated ones say!! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-SILVER-WING-1-18-WELLY-NEW/371202601876?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D28111%26meid%3Dea503c302a00420bae42ca842969bfaa%26pid%3D100011%26prg%3D11472%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D10%26sd%3D151436135601

| Winger61 did you copy the link and paste it in the body of the post? I've found out that if I use the insert link button and paste the link there it will take care of long links for me. Other than that I don't know. |
