I have a few model Alfas...just got a 1/18 scale 8C at the weekend...

Most of mine are either from hobby stores, dealers or the club...but I don't know of a huge range of 1/18 scale Alfas available.

Of course, you could always come to the monthly Club meeting night and have a look at the great range of model cars that are in Club Shop!

Next club night is next Wednesday. Full details on the vic division home page. No entry fees, just walk in. A lot of people get there about 7 for dinner if you want to socialise. Find someone wearing something with Alfa Romeo written on it, go and tell them you're a newbie and you're away and laughing  :)

The Club shop now has model cars so contact them on their email link under club contacts.

Also above Hudsons Coffee shop near corner of Elizabeth & Collins St is a model car shop full of model cars.  They will have what you want or be pleased to point you in the right direction. 

Hopefully they sponsor the club and will be at Spettacolo 2009 at Como Park Reserve in November.

Let us know how you go.

This wont help your question but just got back from a trip to Italy and stumbled into the most amazing model car shop in Rome. It was sorted by Make THen MOdel and finally by color and year!

Sorted myself with a Octopussy Bond GTV6, Red GTV6, Turobodelta GTV Rally, Montreal and Duetto. I will post some pics.

Good additions to the pool room and was stocked that they didnt get damaged during the 2 month trip!
