    Just noticed the availability of this model. Its 1/18 scale, so it should be about a foot long. Its resin so it probably doesn't have any opening doors or hood. But resin means it might have more crisp details than a diecast model. Looks pretty nice, but it is somewhat expensive.

    American Excellence does diecast (says on on their logo), so I' m wondering if the details are resin but the body's still metal?

    American Excellence is the distributor. Its not the manufacturer. Its possible that its diecast, but I highly doubt it. Many of the manufacturers they represent are small companies with limited runs of resin models.
    You can also order it through Amazon
