Funk I have yet to find any truly "great" SA plastic models. Tamiya probably makes the best of a poor group. If you're OK with a smaller (1/43 scale) model, the metal die cast ebbro Savanna is sweet.
If you own an FB then the Tamiya FB sunroof model is a nice choice in 1/24.

If you have the cash you can get a Diecast 1/18 scale version of the white one...

Because they are Daytona models, haha.

I only have the 3 FB models. I have some little matchbox FC though lol.

And an Ertl 1/64 SA from 1981 in the box thing still.

The kit is the old monogram savannah kit; the case and decorations inside it come from a company called Model Master.

The can lights and the fuel pump light up.

The Cali plate (bearing my license # of course) were made on my inkjet printer, by making it in a drawing program and then scaling it down, and printing it on photo film.
