From Kazakhstan. Thought rules would be the same.
Here they don't tax you if the value is less than 1000 Euro and weight less than 30 kg.
But starting from this month it is limited to one parcel per month.

No we have different rules, no limitation for parcels, but sum of declared price for all parcels in month must be less than 200 EUR. If greater - need pay (Amount - 200 EUR) * 0.3 + 5 EUR tax.

Porsche 908/02 winner Watkins Glen Redman/Siffert by AutoArt

Post by rusel1978 » Wed May 13, 2015 3:50 pm

Model from last update of collection - Porsche 908/02 winner Watkins Glen Redman/Siffert by AutoArt. Good model with balanced price-performance ratio. Model from Signature serie, but detailing and price like top of Millenium serie. Porsche won the 1969 International Championship for Makes with the Porsche 908 and current model is just winner of 9 Rnd of Championship - Watkins Glen 6 Hours in USA. The pilots were Jo Siffert (Switzerland) and Brian Redman (United Kingdom).

These never grew on me for some reason. I also wish they were a tiny bit more detailed with a touch less plastic.

I have that one as well...I don't know that it, nor the 908/03 detail levels warrant the Signature level, but they are great looking models.

Post by rusel1978 » Wed May 13, 2015 4:17 pm

For comparison with previous model - Porsche 917 Long Tail #21 24h LeMans by AutoArt. Model from Millenium serie and price 30% less that previous. Also have metal chassis, don't know how many parts. Looks awesome, I like Martini racing liveries. I additional - photos with Team Martini Racing Pit Stop Figures Set by TSM.

I have that one also and also not 100% satisfied with it. The only reason I keep it is because I have a book on the Porsche 917 that has that car on the cover, otherwise I'd have sold it a long time ago. I think the diecast hobby is way overdue for a seriously detailed 917.

agreed...big fan of the 917L. I skipped this one, as I have the 917K in Martini livery & wanted to mix it up...so went with the Gulf & Hippie L's.

Porsche 917 Long Tail #3 24h LeMans by AutoArt

Post by rusel1978 » Thu May 14, 2015 5:40 am

I have another 917 - Porsche 917 Long Tail #3 24h LeMans by AutoArt. Also in Martini livery known as "The Hippie Car". I agree both 917 have not best detailing but I like both, exterior looks amazing and also price was very reasonable, just 90 and 75 EUR.

Yes, looks really good. When both 917 arrived, first impression was sell one of them as minimum, but after couple of days this decision gone. Will never sell, I like both :okay: .

What's strange is that on the Martini the livery is tampo printed, while on the Hippie it's made with decals. Wonder why that is.

Nothing strange ... just price, Hippie cost was 75 EUR and Martini - 90 EUR (with NY discount).
