One of my favorite set I have taken for the moment! I hope you enjoy the photos!!

996 GT3 RSR from Minichamps. Older model of mine, but took it out for photos. Not nearly as cool as the ones posted above 😂

 

[Kedmasterz]

I really love the shape of the 996 RSR, that's one I don't have yet.

Took out some Stuttgart machinery this week





All 1/43 ;
190 Evo I / Minichamps
C43 AMG ; C55 AMG ; C63S AMG / Spark
C63 AMG / Schuco

964 Carrera 2 (Norev) and 993 Carrera (Autoart)

 

[SPhilli911]

Here is a decade of collecting, every Porsche 911 which wears an "RS" badge up to the 991 generation.

And a snap from the back with my phone since I was struggling with lighting.

 

[SPhilli911]

Accidently bought two of these, a 1/18 scale 992 GT3 from Norev in mint green. This model has opening parts, to replace my sealed version of the same car (in Shark Blue) from Minichamps.

I need some Norev 992's myself sometime...
Also got these two new additions recently, GT Spirit R390 and AUTOart 720S:

I personally think those resin 992s look better than the Norev GT3, but to each his own.

 

[XJ40]

Couldn't resist this.

The E38 seems to be a hard shape to replicate, particularly in the rear, but Otto have made a wee masterpiece here.

Last model. Honest....

1:18 resin models suck. Why would you bother paying for a big model that doesn't even have opening parts? Isn't that the whole point of buying one? I don't get it.

I don't play with my models. I have both diecast and resin FXXKs from BBR and the resin one looks million times better.

But once again, to each his own.

Subject matter.
Also most decent resin models have quite nice exterior details and paint that most diecast models lack outside of very premium ones.

I agree, and normally I dont care if a model is sealed or has opening parts since I go for the best looking/most accurate model, but in this case I wanted all of my GT3 (non-RS) models to have opening parts.

I can see why these Norevs are so popular these days, they are cheap and a crapload of different colors to choose from.

It's funny that I still haven't own one single 992 yet, but I have about twenty different 991s.

 

[CyborgGT]

Nothing crazy here, but I saw this M2 Machines 1/24 '73 Cheyenne at Walmart recently and "it hit me right in the feels." My grandpa had a '79 Cheyenne. Not the highest quality model for sure, but instantly one of my favorites because of the memories. It's white, not mint green, my camera's phone is just that bad, haha.

Indeed, I am thankful for the choices. Being a Porsche 911 model collector is easy sometimes, with many, many models to pick from. 😉

Once I sell my Minichamps 992, the Norev will be the only 992 I have for the time being. Waiting patiently for a release of a 992 GT3 RS model. And then the inevitable face-lift and Weissach editions... oh and a 992 GT2 someday. 😂

Personally I am not a fan of resin models because of the lack of opening parts, but there are a few models you just cant get with opening bits. The '97 BTCC Laguna, the XJ40 XJR and the E38 were models I really wanted so I had to overlook that. I'm glad I did as the quality of them makes up for the lack of being able to open doors etc.

I was curious about the Norev models but having seen a few on here they seem impressive.

Problem with collecting 911 is that it can escalate really quickly between variations, updates, and colors. 🫠

 

[Venom800tt]

I need more 911's

I love your collection. Man, sometimes I wish I continued collecting 1/43 rather than 1/18.

 

[SPhilli911]

Added a few 911s to my 1/43 rally car collection... surprisingly I had none before.

 

[SPhilli911]

Here is my entire GT3 collection in 1/18 scale to date (not including RS models). I am glad that every single 911 GT3 ever has not only been made in scale form, but all of these models here have opening parts, too.

I like the simplicity of a base model 911. I have a 993 carrera, 993 GT2, and 996GT3, and it's nice to see the evolution from new 993 (at the time) to something more focused.

I can't be the only one who thinks this bears a strong resemblance to the Ravenwest livery.... right?

Incredible scale model. I need it right now

Some of the best stuff from the model show I went to on Saturday:

1:43 Subaru Leone TOURING WAGON 1984 🚙 (Hi Story)

Leon is the progenitor of the Legacy and other all-wheel drive Subaru. Although I am not a fan of most wagons, if there is a sedan or coupe version, I could not pass by this one. Beautiful blue-blue color, high roof and turbo four-wheel drive.

A couple of additions to my Hong Kong Buses collection. Sourced in the UK, pre-owned. I have managed to bolster the collection from another UK source in the past months.
