Where do I buy models?
Lots of internet sites offer 1:43 models. I have chosen only to show links from stores I have used - and have been satisfied with!

|   |   |
| Magnussen Racing Shop | The store is specialized in Jan Magnussen fan items, but they also have a good selection of model cars. Sometimes they offer converted models made in very small numbers. |
|   |   |
| Group 7 | Webshop, where you can buy the danish produced DMC decals. |
|   |   |

Ebay Tyskland Ebay England Ebay USA
| The German eBay is in my opinion the best when you are hunting models of danish racecars. You can - almost - find everything, if you want to pay. You should be a little carefull at eBay. My rules are: Only buy from sellers with a lot of positive feedback. NEVER buy if the pictures of the model are bad. If the seller does not bother to supply a decent picture there is a strong possibility he does not bother with anything at all. |
|   |   |
| QXL |
The danish version of eBay. Some rarities pop up here now and then. You have to be a bit careful similar to eBay. |

Inspiration
Links to see what other people manage that you cannot do yourself - yet. And then a place where you can buy EVERYTHING for building models.
| Automotive Forums | Forum for model builders to show their models and - not least - tell how they built them. Some of the guy here are seriously good and they do not hide anything. |
|   |   |
| Slotforum | Forum for slot racers. But the subjects "Master classes" and especially "Scratch building" often shows building a slotcar from almost nothing. Here you can really learn something. Some projects begins with cutting the shape from a piece of wood and then cast the body and the necessary parts. |
|   |   |
| Micromark | US shop with all kinds of tools for modelling. It is very entertaining to study all the strange tools. |
