1:18 scale Cayman models

Painfully trivial thread, but...

There doesn't seem to be a Gen 2 die-cast models of the Cayman S. I see two models of the Gen 1 version, by Maisto and Welly. My nitpicky nephew will point out all the differences between the model I get and the actual car sitting in the garage, so nothing I can apparently do about that. Any preference of Maisto vs Welly in terms of quality and accuracy?

This time of year, Costco has their pre-Christmas pallet of Maisto cars. At $12 a piece, they are a steal.

My local store did not have any Caymans that I could find. They did have various 996's, CGT's, Panameras, 356's, and Boxters.

On a 2nd visit, I got lucky and found a grey GT3 RS sitting on top of the stack. SCORE! I looked but could not find another.

I don't know how often they replenish the Stock, but they have had Caymans in the past.

You've not been looking right under your nose then....the dealer....or Suncoast :taunt:

WAP 020 009 19 - 1:43 Cayman S in White with grey interior
WAP 021 007 19 - 1:18 Cayman S in white with brown interior

Both are second gen models.


I too am on the hunt for a decent model. I want a Gen 1 Cayman S in White...
I think the closest you'll get is the Gen 2 model in white although if you really only meant slightly bigger than 1:43 then there's this 1:32 die cast model kit I found.....and it's cheap as chips ;)
