Black Kyoso 365GTB/4 "Daytona"
Blue KK-Scale 365GTC/4

Thanks, I do too. These 2 share the same chassis & engine with the GTC/4 having a slightly longer wheelbase to accommodate the rear "seats". Only 505 GTC/4s were made in 1971-72 vs about 1400 Daytonas from 1968-73.

Thanks for the info! I suspected it might be another version of the 365.

S6 WRC and Type R STI, love those. :okay:

Always wanted some of the Subaru rally cars from Autoart, specifically the 2003/4/5 versions. I find myself looking at them on ebay, but shouldn't be going down that road.

Thanks! I love them, too. The WRC car was my first AA, a gift from my wife many years before we got our 1:1 WRX...so it has a special place in my collection.

I like the GD cars as well. I think I've shown these before.

I remember seeing a picture of your 1:1 WRX, a nice car in the best color! Awesome Subaru collection, I am genuinely jealous, especially since looking at the prices of some of these now. I maybe, just maybe, will get at least one rally car for myself. 8-)

Last week, actually, I did ended up breaking my rules with collecting and got a 1/18 2003 Subaru STI (the U.S. model year 2004) from Otto, because the AA are too expensive. It hasn't arrived yet, but I will post pictures.

Honestly I was patient and managed to find most of them for VERY reasonable prices on local classifieds and facebook marketplace.

The Subaru will be the only non-Porsche in 1/18 scale I have, but I have a collection of 50 or so 1/43 rally cars, not one of those is a Porsche. :lol:

Nice Mercedes! 300 SEL?

push all the non-Porsches to a smaller scale. Makes sense to me. :rotfl:

Yup, Minichamps 1971 300SEL 6.3 AMG, raced at Hockenheim.

Nice, though the design is getting a little dated.

It is old, but I think its aged very well. Looks better than the current model, In my opinion.
