Re: [DML] Die-Cast DeLorean 1/18 scale model - looking for who makes it

[James Espey <james@xxxx>]

Sunstar is working on a 1/18 scale model of the DeLorean, similar to 
the Burago style of models out for other makes. I think they are 
planning to have it done next summer.

Marty Maier was the one who coordinated and got the deal done with 
All American Models, which used a BTTF donor car as a base. After the 
initial run of 25 or so, I think the molds cracked again and Art (at 
All American) wasn't interested in making anymore.

As far as Lee's models, be interested to know where that stands now...
