Scale model car collection
Discussion
Hi Guys, I was hoping for some help sourcing some particular model cars.
I wish to have a model collection of all cars I own/have owned and am wanting the best quality models available.
The list of cars + bike:
Porsche 968 coupe - Guards red (it seems lots of CS available but no non-cs or s)
'95 E36 M3 Saloon - dark blue (finding a saloon at all is impossible)
Yamaha R6 (2004) yellow/black (ltd edition colour scheme - impossible?)
E55 AMG kompressor - Silver (not exactly a type of car that people queue up for models of!)
E34 5 series - silver (as above!)
'08 (pre facelift) Porsche 997 turbo - black (with red interior bonus!)
E92 3 series M-sport - black
SL55 AMG - black
I would also love an original 944 LUX in guards red, a car my dad had when I was a child that turned me into a petrol head!
Any help sourcing high quality models of the above would be greatly appreciated!

UT Models made one in white, 1/18 scale, also available as a German police car. It's pretty good proportions wise, come up on eBay sometimes.I wish to have a model collection of all cars I own/have owned and am wanting the best quality models available.

OP, I assume you mean 1/18 scale?
UT also made an E36 318iS saloon which had the M tech kit. It may be possible to modify one of those to add the M3 interior, engine, door mirrors and badges? (mission though)
E34 5 Series, you'd be looking at a Minichamps. I've only ever seen them in dark blue/green (around 90+ on ebay). A silver version was made but that was a specific Art Car.
Ottomobile have recently released the E34 M4 in violet and blue, though these are resin and sealed (non opening boot/bonnet/doors).
E90 models would be made by Kyosho (some budget Welly models about too). As to whether they made M Sport variants, I'm not sure.
Good luck in your hunt!

Yes, finding an E36 M3 saloon will be tricky, coupes/cabrios are plentiful on ebay. The last German Police E36 M3 Saloon on ebay went for way over 100.UT also made an E36 318iS saloon which had the M tech kit.
