Hi All,
Thought I'd share my latest addition.
As you can see in the photos it is an R36 in Biscay Blue.
Produced by Otto-models in 1/18 ( 265mm long ) , the model is a 'static or kerbside' model as none of the doors, boot or bonnet open.
It is diecast metal and is quite heavy for a model of this size.
It is modelled on a MY08/09 version as can be seen by the AC controls, it shows sat nav , and as it is German is in LHD.
The model also doesn't have a sunroof.
It presents very well and looks great in this scale.
A limited run of 2000 have been produced.
(I found mine through ebay cheapest price/postage cost ) as they are now sold out from Otto-models.com.
At around $180AUD it maybe similar to other models of this scale, and is of a somewhat rarely modelled car.

Thanks.

Umai Naa!!

As a Biscay Blue R36 wagon owner I had to have this. I bought mine from Model Cars Too in Sydney. RRP was $160, but the shop owner was a mate so it cost me less. :)

He said he can order more in if anyone is interested.

Fairly old post but yes they do now come in Icelandic Grey.

Got mine from here (https://livecarmodel.com/products/1-18-otto-b6-volkswagen-vw-r36-passat-variant-hatchback-grey-resin-car-model.html) and it took a while to arrive but it's legitimate.

The model was only released in Hong Kong it seems, that being said I am after a Biscay Blue one to match still and am having no luck for a reasonable price.
