Hi Tom,
Thanks for the heads up.
The MCG Capri looks cool and is good value. MCG have quite a few mark 1s in their catalogue, this is the first mark 2.
I don't have any 1:18 scale models in my collection, but I might make an exception for this!
Andrew.

Yes, 1/18 takes a lot of space. I prefer 1/43 or smaller, too.
I check MCG's RS2600 Capris and they look very good. If the Mk2 X-Pack will be same quality, it will be great model.

Apparently, the release date of the 1/18 Professionals Capri has been delayed a bit, but should be available soon.
The cheapest I've found is £70.99 from an Ebay seller.

That must be including postage. Sending a 1/18 scale model to Czechia can't be cheap, you'll probably be able to find a seller closer to you though.
Yes, the model does look good, and I'm very tempted to break my own "no 1/18" rule!

If I didn't have my 1/43 SOO 636R, I would definitely buy this 1/18.

The 1:18 scale Professionals X-pack should be available shortly, my local dealer is offering them at £60, which I believe to be, in legendary forum fashion, reasonable
If anyone is interested just let me know.
Looks brilliant, can't recall any other Professionals Capri in this scale either.

MCG also did 1/18 Escort RS2000:

Looks like they do only Doyle's cars.

Yes and I believe that Escort to be the first 1:18 scale Professionals model. With the aforementioned Capri being the first Professionals Capri in that scale too I think.

Not quite, these are custom display cases but they show which 1.18 scale Professionals cars are available first.

This is all MCG 1/18?
