Lovely A5! Monza is a great unique color. I have Avus which is very similar.

How's the quality of the 1/18th scale die-cast? I have a huge die-cast car collection, and have been looking for an A5. All I can find is Norev, and there are no US dealers--all come from Europe via eBay.

Have a huge 1/18 collection as well. Just the horrid stance of that model has kept me away from it but from the pics you can see most of the exterior looks poor. Such a shame as I would love to have a 1/18 A5.

It's pretty good in my opinion. It might not be AutoArt quality but then again it's not Maisto either. lol

This is the Norev model which I believe is the only 1/18th A5 around. I was tempted to order it off eBay but shipping from overseas (China) to here would have been $35 (ouch).

When I was in Hong Kong last month, I found this great die-cast store and there it was - had to have it. I've been to some pretty nice die-cast stores in Tokyo as well and have never seen any 1/18th A5s at all.
