Does anyone know where I can purchase a 1:18 scale model of a WHITE Eos? I've been searching all over the web and in stores in the US. I need it by the end of May, 08.
Any help would be appreciated.

Not sure if they make a while one, I've got the silver one and I've only ever seen one other colour and that wasn't white. Perhaps you could buy the silver and spray paint it ! LOL. well its a thought ! Good Luck

I've never seen a white model and nor have I ever seen a 1/18th scale model; who does that one?

Hi
I remember seing an 1/18th SILVER model presented as acessory/add-on to the EOS in the car's brochure from VW. Could not access their web site just now so did not manage to copy/paste a screenshot of the PDF...

There is also a 1/18 IceBlue model from french manufacturer NOREV (http://www.twenga.fr/offre/0118623785.html or http://www.revland.fr/index.php?pid...ticle.familleNum=3_&npage=71&row_count=24052)...

And there is a BEIGE model... http://www.iplanete-modelisme.com/a...19-vw-eos-cabriolet-beige-interieur-rouge.htm

So a WHITE one, with a bit more research in non-english pages, you may be able to find!

Good luck
Fred

So there is. Thanks!

I have the 1/43 Norev one but didn't know about the 1/18 one. At least you can get the red interior with Eismeer blue on the model if not on the real thing...!

Have a look at the following link:
http://www.mtk18.com/galerie-minis-fiche.php?ref=99107865&n=6

I know MTK do customised 1/18 models so there is no reason why they could not supply you with an EOS in the right colour with whatever interior you desire. All you need to do is send them a picture. The only issue could be the cost as it is not mass produced.

Hope this helps.

... if the custom models look too nice, then it becomes even more expensive... because then you want a real EOS made to look like the model!!!
.. if anyone orders one customized model, I'd be interested to know the price...

i was starting to really wonder.....

I bought a black one with cornsilk interior which matches my Eos.
Have had it for close to a year.

I suppose it's poor form to resurrect a thread that's been dead for over 6 years, but I'm curious: are there other good sources for Eos models out there? I've seen the white 1:43 that VW sells through their official store, but that's somewhat small for the price. I've seen only a handful of others, also mostly 1:43, but none from common sellers. Anybody out there find a good deal on a nice model recently? Preferably a 1:18 scale, but beggars can't be choosers.

Just by doing a general search for Eos model cars, you will fine many manufacturers still making them in 1:43 scale.

Unfortunately, there are on 1:18 manufacturers currently making these. However, I have found many private collectors on the web but they aren't selling them either. Can't say I blame them since this size has been out of production for quite a while.

However, I suspect that if a 1:43 scale Eos could be found for sale, the collector would want a fortune for it.

In my humble opinion, something as small as 1:43 is hardly worth while. Let's face it, a model car that is just 4 3/4 inches long is barely visible.

Here are a couple of sellers of the 1:43 scale cars. There are more on the internet and of course, ebay is full of them also.

Norev was the manufacturer of the 1:18 scale. Here is a link. At least you can see what they looked like. Bummer, huh?

I doubt that "Clockgal" will ever see this post.

She only had 1 post and that was over 6 years ago.

Te He, I didn't notice the date David because it came up on the new post's. Must pay more attention !!!

I agree. I had to double check the size to make sure I understood it correctly. I have a HotWheels (1:64) version of my current Mitsubishi Eclipse, which is even tinier, but for 99¢, I feel it was worth the price. And I recall a collection of 1:18 scale models that I had when I was younger that I'm sure couldn't have been more than $20 a piece. It'd be nice to have a model Eos as well, so I just can't justify ~$60 for a <5" model.

My itch for a tangible Eos should be scratched in a few weeks if my real one arrives at my dealer as currently scheduled

Yes, I know how bad that itch must be after all this time. Maybe a little "Vehicle Cortizone" will help, what ever that is.

Hopefully, after the trip across the ocean, your new Eos will not have a lot of dents in it and a damaged engine from the salt water and torn seats as a result of all those "Shore Workers" wanting to get in the interior with screw drivers in their back pockets.

Oh, let's not forget the really pissed off employees on the docks who, just for kicks and giggles, put sand in your gas tank. This one is worth a double

Sorry, almost forgot the biggie. The train,but more importantly, the 18 wheeler that was hauling your vehicle from the port had an emergency maneuver. The trailer over turned on the freeway. But not to worry.

Many others, like yourself who were waiting for their new Eos, had them totaled also.

Seriously, I am just as eager and anxious as you are to see that pretty blue Eos, with you sitting in the "Cat Bird Seat", smiling from ear to ear.

Don't forget the pics of you and the Eos.

There are a lot of threads you will have to catch up when it arrives.

You know, personal pics, vehicle pics, immediately installed mods, etc.............

I bought a blue and silver version 1:18 from these nice people:
