Eric's Diecast Collection (Porsche 930 Blackbird re-badged)

[Eric]

Looks very nice. I ordered it today, probably arriving Saturday. How is the color in real?

GT Spirit did a great job with the Candy Apple Red but this color wouldn't be my first choice on the Countach. The color is hard to capture in photos, I'm just waiting for a sunny day for another photo shoot.

Impressive collection. Are those 1:18? By the way, I'm into aquariums, but just freshwater. Salt water is way to much work for me!

[Eric]

Thanks. Yes, these are all 1:18th scale.

Aquariums are awesome. I've had had a saltwater 30g FOWLR tank running for 11 years. I didn't find having a saltwater tank anymore difficult to run over a freshwater tank but it was a lot more expensive to setup initially. If your doing fish only it's very easy to maintain but having corals is where it can get difficult. I read up on running a saltwater tank for months before I switched and never regretted it.

Neat perspective.

Re-badged.

I didn't really care that this is from the Wangan Midnight series, I just think it a awesome looking Porsche so for me it needs a Porsche badge on the hood.

In fact, I never even heard of the Wangan Midnight before the Porsche was released.

Nice. I would have kept her badge-less

Fortunately, the badge is just a gel sticker and easily removable.

Someone mentioned on the review page the car should have the badge. Should it?

[Eric]

In my opinion, I only bought this model because it was a really sharp looking Porsche 930 so for me it needed the badge, it looked naked with out it.

[[KRAFTIG]]

Lol the only reason I bought it too

The Blackbird should not have a badge. This car is supposed to be based on a RUF and RUFs have no badge.

Thanks for the info.
