I saw that earlier, beauty! Yes, you are correct, a German retailer. Please review it!

I wanted to use that wheel as well but my beef with it is it only comes with the center lock option. I think this is better:

Perfect, the Italian seller went AWOL and today, ebay refunded me.

[BRN9121]

Agreed!

btw I'll be doing this wheel swap on my Ruf, so if you want the same on yours, let me know

Yes please, I need to measure the wheel diameter on my GT3 model, cause I plan on using the existing tires. Unless of course, the 3D printed wheels come with tires? I ordered the 32mm ones but unfortunately, the seller disappeared.

Thank you in advance if this works out.

that was for Kraftig, but sure I can print a set out for you too. No they don't come with tires.

LOL, thank you. Post pics when you're complete and I will make a decision

Nothing too exciting but got this 1/18 964 Turbo 3.6 from Solido in Wimbledon Green Metallic on sale. A decent model for the price, honestly.

Great '90s color. I have that model in what I think is Cobalt Blue. Nice model for not much money.

That 964 shape with wheels is uber sexy!

Epic!

Here we have the 1/18 scale Porsche 911 S/T “Specification “ in Viper Green from German retailer Car.tima. If I have time I will try to take more photos and maybe write something up about this model. The bottom line is that my expectations were low for this model and I considered returning it or selling it off... then I actually received the model and was impressed. The model is of course sealed, but it seems better quality and more detailed than comparable priced Spark Porsche 911s.

As mentioned in a previous post last week it's not a replication of a genuine 1970-71 911 S/T, but rather a homage to one, hence the name “Specification”, I could go into nerdy details on why it's not a S/T but I will spare you all. I do wish someone would make a real S/T to add to my collection, but for now this one will do.

That is awesome looking & such a perfect color. If you do end doing a separate thread/review, please do nerd-out & list the reasons. I, & I'm sure others, would like to know.

Absolutely, I will see what I can do. I have something more or less written up already, just need pictures.
The color, which a great Porsche color, is actually one of the issues with the model, but I will get to that.

Alrighty, I did my best attempt at a "review" of the model:
