My most recent purchases are 4 Porsche GT2s. A 1/18 Spark 991 GT2 RS, red UT Models 993 GT2 and two GT Spirit 993 GT2s:

I was very surprised to see the dark blue GT Spirit GT2 is #300/300!

Nice! I have a hard time letting go of models, so I will keep my Spark and GT Spirit 991 GT3 RSs even if I get an Autoart version. I'd like a Lava one myself, or an Ultraviolet, but the Spark versions are ridiculously high priced (my Spark is Birch Green).

Another one of my rules, I don't keep duplicates, space is too rare ;)

I had my doubts for a long, long time about this model, but eventually bought it. Not for full price, because a sealed F40 for 330 euro's is a but to much I think.

For what I payed for i'm happy with it. Detail is very nice, shape and stance is superb.

I recently got one of those F40s myself, its a very good model, high quality. The "Ferrari" badge on the back, though, was falling off and it's far too small to fix so I had to remove it. Shame.

Nice model, but I would have bought the Kyosho F40 diecast with opening parts.

I considered that myself, but I think the resin version is better looking proportionally. I may be in the minority here, but I prefer resin even if it's a rip off compared to a diecast with opening bits. ;)
