The regular models are widely available on ebay/hobby sites. The hard to get one are the Ebbro Mugen models.

1/60 scale means that the model basically 60 times smaller...from what i understand out of it. its a ratio thing. i've always built 1/24 scale cars, and 1/35 scale tanks and shit.

smaller the number, the bigger the model. sandblasted is basically correct.

Try to look for a shop that sells Tomica toy cars. Tomica's stuff are roughly the same size as Matchbox (roughly 1/50-1/60 scale). Tomica is basically JDM Matchbox, made by Tomy

Those are pretty much the only diecast models of the Fit I can remember. Everything else I see here is the Tamiya 1/24 plastic model kit of the GD.

+1 for the Tomica 1/60th Matchbox-sized models...I have a few blue ones, and a gold one as well..also the previous gen Fit in blue and a pink one!

I also have a 1/43rd scale Ebbro silver Fit I got on eBay, and I'm saving up for the 1/18th scale one like this:
1/18 Honda FIT / JAZZ 2009 China Special - eBay (item 400120136908 end time Jun-05-10 00:11:14 PDT)

Just search for "Honda Fit" or "Honda Jazz" under the Toys & Hobbies section..

I also have a Tomica model I put together that is remote control, and I have a few 1/87th scale models of the previous gen Fit...

I'm a bit of a diecast car collector, and I like to have mini versions of the car I'm currently driving. My last car was a MINI Cooper, and I had over 150 diecasts of MINI's in all different sizes!

It gets to be an addiction..

I make a lot of my decals for the race cars. I am putting a Mini chassis under one of the 1/32 Fits so it should go like heck with all the added HP.

www.toyeast.com

They carry the entire Tomica line, Ebbro line, and you could easily go broke with the stuff they sell. They're in Hong Kong, and ship worldwide. It's been a while since I ordered from them, but they carry an amazing supply of stuff, and the shipping time is faster from them than it has been from some U.S. O.L.D.'s I've ordered from in the past. Yes, I have a pretty good sized diecast collection, because I'll likely never have the money to have the real car collection I want.

I received today (4-7-11) a 1/43 Ebbro model of the new body style which I ordered from Hobby Link Japan (hlj.com) a few days after the earthquake. It's quite nice and even sort of the color of my blackberry pearl 1/1 version. Their website is quite US friendly. I only hope their estimate of the dollar/yen rate is pretty close!
