Default Looking for scale model of Mk4 Escort RS Turbo

As above, where can I locate a Mk4 Escort Rs turbo model in white. I have seen NEO and OTTO made these previously. Any other model manufacturers of this model?
I cannot locate any on ebay except for 1 No. OTTO one at £400 sterling. It looks nice but not at that price.

The problem with these models is the manufacturers do limited runs of them and then that’s it. I had the same experience when I started to buy some models a few years ago, I was bidding on a Dick Johnson Shell livered RS500 touring car by Biante which iirc went for well over £200 and that was quite a few years ago

With anything that is not available it fetches good money on the bay so it’s a matter of how badly do you want it sort of thing. (I wouldn’t pay £400 for a toy either) not unless you could sit in or on it and drive/ride it

If you ever travel abroad and come across a model shop poke your head in there as I know of people who have bagged a bargain and found rare and sort after models in this way

RS Turbo at £400 is crazy money, not a limited enough edition to command that price.
I sold one about 4 months ago for £160 and thought that was enough.
The only model I think ever worth big money £500+ is the Biante Dick Johnson RS500 with gold wheels as that was very very rare, although there are several newer versions by Apex models which are pretty good too.
As Jimmy said, a lot of newer models are more limited than they used to be, Otto only does limited runs and Sunstar too now, hence rise in prices

I have seen some brand names but quality is poor. What brand name have the top quality finish? Does any of these models arrive with opening doors, bonnet etc.
