Maisto Porsche 911 (996) GT1 #26 Le Mans Winner '98 Mobil 1

Post by David » Sun Feb 03, 2013 10:18 pm

In my opinion, one of the most beautiful racing car ever.

Spark just announced this GT1 and it's a great occasion to honour this model which is 15 years old. The least we can say is that Maisto did a great job, it aged well. :worthy:

I told a friend to paint the headlights in black instead of silver and it just changed completely the front of the car. There are only benefits : It's true to the real car and it's less toyish. :drool:

the AutoArt is the '97 Evo car...this is the GT1-98, which is very different.

Didn't know Maisto made GT1. By looking at your pictures I wouldn't even think so.
It looks good and black paint in front lights changed the entire look dramatically :shock:

Thanks ! :D

What Gavin said. The '98 had its test car too and without a doubt Spark will make it. I wouldn't mind a street version too.

Sanchez : Hehe ! It shows how good this model is. Actually, there is not much to improve, only details.
