Don't think anybody actually makes them.

The factory used to know someone but apparently they went bust.

Maybe Simon can enlighten us?

There was quite a discussion on here a while ago. Time for a bit of searching !

Noble had a load of die cast models made of the M12.

I did order one when Alan used to work for Noble Moy, but it never turned up.

I'm sure that some one at the factory will have the details of the manufacturer.

Ahem, I have a full-size working model in my garage - has opening doors and clamshells and is sooo detailled that even the cooling fans spin and the horn works!

All the moulds for the original model went to a maker in the States for production, but I'v heard no more from them. I've appointed one manufacturer in Hong Kong to produce a model of the M14, but the lead time means that it won't be on sale until next Spring. I'm also currently in talks with a French company to reproduce the M12/M400 to 1:43 scale.

None of this is going to happen overnight, but I will obviously keep you all informed as to when models are available.

I can confirm that there are no other Noble models on the market.

So, a production race between the model and the full-size M14 then....
