I have received this email from, Diecast Legends looks like there could be M12 & M400 models in the future, maybe a preorder would speed things up!..
The M600 model cost seems to reflect the real life model, expensive eek

"Welcome to the Diecast Legends email update. Today, we will begin with an exciting new announcement from the American model maker Automodello.

The company has confirmed its first ever modern road car subject. Supercar collectors have been clamouring for a model of this British machine for ages. The car in question is the Noble M600. Automodello has the exclusive licence for the Leicestershire based sports car car manufacturer, so we're expecting more Nobles, such as the M12 and M400, to be announced in due course.

Noble has been building the M600 since 2011. It is powered by a twin-turbocharged Volvo V8 engine that produces 650 bhp, and can reach 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds.

Automodello will be producing resin replicas of the M600 in 1:43 and, for the really serious collectors, 1:12 scale. In both scales, the model will be available in Demonstrator Orange and Baby Blue. The 1:43 replicas are limited to just 499 pieces worldwide, and the 1:12s to a mere 299 pieces worldwide, so these miniatures are going to be extremely exclusive indeed. Click here to order your favourite version of this model now."

Also only available in an odd size (for me anyway) 1:43 is tiny so I wouldn't bother with that and 1:12 is obviously much bigger than the 1:18 that most folk collect and would look out of place in my collection. Bit expensive too.....
