Rick V Posted 16April, 2019 Report Share Posted 16April, 2019 On the topic of models, I'm in the hunt for an Auto Art 1:18 996.2 GT3 (not an RS, not a Mk1). Keen to talk to anyone whom has one for sale.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent a lot of my wage on diecast. 🤘 I haven't registered on mass drop. What are the prices like? I could always have a few more 993s 2 hours ago, Rick V said: On the topic of models, I'm in the hunt for an Auto Art 1:18 996.2 GT3 (not an RS, not a Mk1). Keen to talk to anyone whom has one for sale.... Autoart did them in a few colours. I've got one in silver, but not I'm not planning on selling sorry. I assume you're after a blue one? 1 hour ago, TwoHeadsTas said: I'd be real keen on a speed yellow Mk 1 GT3 if anyone has one (of any brand) - believe Maisto may have done one?? Autoart did a yellow MK1 in 1:18. Bburago appears to have as well. Kyosho also made a 1:24 radio controlled 996.1 GT3 in speed yellow - They released the body shells separately and they came with the matching wheels. Tamiya made a 1:24 GT3 kit too, which you could build to your tastes. My current focus is purple 911's. I've done some minor mods to the two in the foreground.

Yes, would love a blue one to match my 1:1 version, but would gladly look at any colour. Are you SURE you don’t want to sell the silver one?!? If you work in a model shop, do you know where I might find one available?? YellowDieselGolf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you work in a model shop, do you know where I might find one available?? Thanks Rick. I'm pretty sure sorry! I've done a little googling. They made red (model # 77941), white (77942) and silver (77943) road-cars. I can't see a blue one. Off the top of my head they were released in about 2004/2005 - this means your chances of finding a new one are slim. I'd give Sherrifs mini cars, Model cars of Braidwood or Model mania a try as they're the biggest shops that I know of, but your chances aren't great. Otherwise, set up a search alert on ebay and scumtree. There's a red one currently listed on ebay for $300 Here's a couple of dodgy pics from a couple of years ago. I've got another 3 cabinets not pictured which have some 1:12 scale models in them - a McLaren F1, Bond BMW z8 and Vanquish, Gulf GT40 Le Mans winner and a Kombi. I've scaled my collecting back since I was working at the shop full time. I've also got a few model kits on the go. A 1:8 Aventador roadster (blue) which has been sitting on the bench for far too long and this 1:8 993 kit which literally arrived from Florida, today. I hope to make it a duplicate of my amaranth violet 1:1 version. 19 hours ago, LeeM said: Is that a Singer or RWB I spy top left? It's a Singer (by GT Spirit), but I've got a couple of purple RWBs in the background of the other picture too Raven, Tips, WOKA and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
