Kay Bee Toys has diecast in Red, Black, and Silver. You just have to hit them at the right time.

Lightning Models 101
1. Plastic: Monogram Revell does a 99 model. The plastic in the box is white, you can paint it any color you wish.
Quality is typical for them, which is pretty good.
2. Diecast: Bburago does 4 different Lightning models.
Red/Black/Silver and a bastard sort of toy store only version with some really awful stick on graphics. Bburago is about average in quality as is obvious by the prices.
3. Radio Control: Tamiya offers a kit version (you build it) which is very good quality but is four wheel drive which is not really authentic but a lot of fun. As I own a HobbyTown USA franchise, mine is at Nitrous levels of performance but they are pretty quick stock. Tamiya also offers a pre-built Lightning which is on a lesser chassis configuration but is a bargain price wise for what you get. Complete with radio etc. Also has lousy graphics.
4. 1/43 scale die cast: I don't carry them, but there is also a small version of the Lightning in this scale. More of a Toys R US type thing but collectible nonetheless.

You are always welcome in Kennesaw and in spite of the local ordinance, not all of us "carry".
As posted a few times before, Kennesaw, Ga. City Fathers put on the books several years ago a law that says that all residents are "required by law" to own a firearm which within the general confines of state law may be carried in one's vehicle and/or kept at home.
I have long since lost my copy of the actual ordinance, but it is an interesting part of current Southern history and attitudes.
Just as an observation, Kennesaw has it's own Police
Department and it is also home to the largest Cobb County Police Department facility as well as the second largest such facility. Additionally, there is a Georgia State Patrol major office just over the city line (like two blocks) in Marietta to the south.
Gracias a Dios, our crime rate/s in whatever category you can think of are amongst the lowest in the entire state.
I do have a weapon, a Ruger .22 semi automatic carbine, but due to three very inquisitive grandchildren, it is so well hidden that if I were burglarized or robbed I doubt if I could round up the carbine, the magazines and the ammunition in time to prevent any problems. But then again, my grandbabies will hopefully never shoot one another or us.
