2018SS Diecast model

Evening all

I have been trying to track down a model of a 2018 6th gen 2SS in white. I have found plenty of ZL1s and 2019 6.5s but nothing like I am after.

As I am in Aus its probably harder again as not a lot comes up in searches.

Can any of you US peeps help me out in tracking down something that looks similar to my car in a model?

Nice setup.

You're probably going to have a really hard time finding anything exact. 2018 simply wasn't an "interesting year" for the car, especially since it's one year -past- the 50th anniversary edition. Most of the pre-made stuff is also not available in white, so finding even a 2016 is basically impossible since you can't get the correct color.

Have you considered something like this?

It's a plastic model that you build. And, it can be painted. I've seldom put models together in the molded color - I've always painted them to the colors I wanted. You'd have to decide if you wanted to fashion your own splitter and skirts to attach to it, but you'd at least get something very, very close with a few coats of white spray model paint.

To get that in 1:18 diecast or 1:25 plastic will require painting and some (probably custom) decals for the stripes. Unfortunately a bit of work no matter how you do it.
Some of the die-cast cars can be disassembled with a screwdriver and/or drilling out the rivets.

Leave it to Oz.
That's not how we do it in 'murica. When we build a cookie-cutter neighborhood EVERY COOKIE IS CHOCOLATE CHIP, DAMMIT!

Greenlight, Hot Wheels ( Matchbox ), Auto World, and Mastio do 16,s Camaro SS die-casts. Did you really check your local Hobby shops ?

There are a lot of options that are close in certain areas, but Summit White is pretty much impossible to find no matter the year.
