Re: Post Your Latest DIECAST Purchase
LOL, the BBR floodgates have opened. What about the 296 and the 812 Competizione ?
Re: Post Your Latest DIECAST Purchase
I'm not too fond of the wheel option on 296 and don't really gravitate to the black wheel option either. As for the 812 hardtop it is sold out in red, so I'll wait until they action another run LOL>
Re: Post Your Latest DIECAST Purchase
I also stay away from the back wheel option on Ferrari unless they have the diamond cut finish. I tend to pick the latest models in something else than red. The SP3 will have to be red though. Not too sure about the 296, metallic blue is gorgeous but I need alloy wheels.
Re: Post Your Latest DIECAST Purchase
There are some solid colours outside red, and I have been tempted to buy some BUT I have 64 Ferraris in my collection today, and the theme is all RED
Re: Post Your Latest DIECAST Purchase
At this point it's better to keep your Ferrari theme all red. In my case I have 48 Ferrari, 70% of them are red. I don't go crazy with the color palette but love the flexibility to chose different specs.

Re: Post Your Latest DIECAST Purchase
Picked up a 1/18 Porsche 997 GT3 RSR in plain white from Autoart. Despite it being new/unopened box it has some flaws, unfortunately, including a slightly out of line rear wheel (as seen in the picture), yellowing around the front lights, and visible glue around the rear tow-hook. It's a fairly old model, suppose it's expected to have some issues and these are pretty minor overall.

Nice add! I have all these livery-less Porsches from AUTOart.

Re: Post Your Latest DIECAST Purchase
I wish I grabbed them earlier as they are getting a little costly and hard to find now. Been keeping an eye on the 997 version of the GT3 Cup... grabbed one on ebay last month and it arrived damaged and the seller blamed me.

Re: Post Your Latest DIECAST Purchase
out of line wheel could simply be some of the rear control arm assembly needing to be snapped back into place. I would take a look there, it's a simple fix if that's the caseSPhilli911 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 09, 2023 4:51 pmPicked up a 1/18 Porsche 997 GT3 RSR in plain white from Autoart.

These were relatively cheap when I acquired them, some are truly rare today. Patience in key!SPhilli911 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 10, 2023 9:49 amI wish I grabbed them earlier as they are getting a little costly and hard to find now.

Re: Post Your Latest DIECAST Purchase
My thoughts too, I had the same issue on another Autoart in the past.StratosWRC wrote: ↑Tue Jan 10, 2023 10:22 amout of line wheel could simply be some of the rear control arm assembly needing to be snapped back into place.

Snagged one for a low price
I discovered that ones with the antenna and split spoiler are incredibly rare...so I just got lucky?
