Can anyone point me in the direction of a really nice 1:18 of each/either of these?

I have all Kyosho/AutoArt and want something that won't look out of place in quality terms.

Is the Auto Art Goldeneye DB5 any cop? I can't find any reviews or decent pictures but they appear to crop up on ebay very occasionaly.

E-Types appear to be out there but I can't stand the Americanised series 3 frown

I've got the Burago 1:18 E-type Coupe, and a couple of 1:43 Kyosho ones. Burago one isn't much good tbh, but better than nothing. I repainted mine and got rid of the daft looking wing mirrors and bonnet straps. If you could get some decent wires for it and weren't too bothered about engine detail, you could make a nice enough job of it.

Here's a good site for you:

I've got the Autoart Goldfinger DB5 and its really nice and very detailed, although the ejector seat removable roof isn't that realistic. I'd guess the Golden Eye one would be the same only without all the gadgets so it should be excellent.
