Ertl's are the bottom of the barrel in the 1/18th scale world, horrible quality, worn out molds, and poor fit. I'll wait till someone else comes out with one.

Your gonna wait for ever cause ertl is the only one with the license for a 1/18 die cast kitt car.but your right ertl isnt the best in quality.Autoart or aoshima is a diffrent story.

Well I have been waiting for a 1/18 thirdgen Bird' model for so long that I will live w/ the fact that its from Ertl.

I think the 1/18 82-84 Z28's have been out for about a year now. (I forget who makes them).

I cant wait till the stock ones come out :drool:

Man, it's about time.... I've been sending emails for three years now to every company I could think of or get info for trying to get some 3rdGen T/As made in 1:18, or in any other scale.

Ertl's are the bottom of the barrel in the 1/18th scale world, horrible quality, worn out molds, and poor fit. I'll wait till someone else comes out with one.
Beggars can't exactly be choosers....

That looks like a good model to me. I've never had issues with ERTL's quality.... and I have a bunch of them. It's true that sometimes "you get what you pay for".... but a $60 diecast is going to be out of range for some folks, regardless of the quality.

I'll be signing up for one.... or more.
