This one arrived on Monday, purchased from the Scale18.com closing sale (Kevin and Irene will be missed). I was eyeing the model for weeks (as well as other models), fortunately for me when the price dropped to $83 it was still in stock, can't say that for some other models... I'm a fan of resin but honestly I still prefer diecast over it, but when some specimens are available you go for the next best thing. I usually have no issues with QC with Spark and this model was no exception. One of their older releases that is still equipped with the superb presentation box. No opening bits, besides that the undercarriage is more detailed than with past Spark models in my experience. The finish is metal like very neat! Enjoy the pics!
Spark Porsche 911 Carrera RS 3.0
Re: Spark Porsche 911 Carrera RS 3.0
that is awesome & what an insanely good price. I didn't realize they had dropped it that much...a steal, Davide!
I've seen this model in person & was really impressed with it.

Thanks Gavin, I was shocked too. Those are the times hit the buy button quick and deal with the consequences laterGavin wrote:that is awesome & what an insanely good price. I didn't realize they had dropped it that much...a steal, Davide!

Re: Spark Porsche 911 Carrera RS 3.0
Sorry to bump a super old thread but this model, to me, has been the most elusive. It was very hard to find! I think I searched on ebay everyday before one finally showed up for sale in the box. It's a great model though, glad I have it.
Now, if only I could find the white version...

No worries about bumping that was this forum is all about. As you read I got this for a steal, clearance sale.

Re: Spark Porsche 911 Carrera RS 3.0
I dunno when the model was originally released, but I imagine it became a lot harder to find over the years. I only just got it last year and I paid a pretty good amount, so I wish I got it on clearance. Considering it was the only one I ever saw pop up on ebay, though, I think it was a fair price. I do still keep an eye out for a white one.[KRAFTIG] wrote:No worries about bumping that was this forum is all about. As you read I got this for a steal, clearance sale.
Anyways, here is mine:

Yeah, seems to be identical to the red one only white:[KRAFTIG] wrote:Is the white the same car only different is colour?
On a related note, I also discovered just today that Spark also made a plain body 3.0 Carrera RSR in 1/18. I really want it, I dunno how I didn't know it existed.
Re: Spark Porsche 911 Carrera RS 3.0
Red is better! I have the other one too. Okay piece, nothing over the top.

Re: Spark Porsche 911 Carrera RS 3.0
I think I saw yours (the white one) in another thread, I thought it was 1/43 scale at first. Hey, if you're ever willing to let it go I would be very, very interested...[KRAFTIG] wrote:Red is better! I have the other one too. Okay piece, nothing over the top.

Re: Spark Porsche 911 Carrera RS 3.0
I was only half joking haha. Might be one of those models I never end up getting, but I'll keep looking. Although, judging by your post, you got it only 2 years ago? I'm actually a little shocked the car went under my radar, not to mention that it never came up in searches for the other white Spark 3.0 RS. hmm[KRAFTIG] wrote:Hahahaha...

Re: Spark Porsche 911 Carrera RS 3.0
I got them both in 2011 actually.

Re: Spark Porsche 911 Carrera RS 3.0
Either way, I've never seen one for sale. I feel a bit desperate at this point, it's a personal favorite car of mine and I feel like I have to have that model now.
Think I'll get yelled at for posting to the Want to Buy section without 50 posts? Could use some help finding the car I think.

Re: Spark Porsche 911 Carrera RS 3.0
No, you're fine to proceed. I already saw the post LOL. Good luck!
Let me know if you come across one of these cheap?
