European model retailers ck-modelcars and Modelissimo combine efforts with Norev to release 12 version of the Porsche 917K race cars.

nice...the UH versions have sealed cockpits & the AA's, while very nice, are fairly old at this point.

Wonder if they've got a new mold? I'd love to add a couple.

Great news but I am afraid Norev could be using UH's mould.
Because they did use Solido's old mould for Golf Mk.I.
Anyway looking forward to seeing these models.
Potential smash hit from Norev, Modelissimo and CK-Modelcars like it was with BMW M1.

I was thinking that too...based on the pic KRAFTIG supplied. Looks like a sealed cockpit & front compartment, but open engine cover...just like the UH's.

Still, there's a bunch of 917K that could be released.

I would love an updated one of these (which UH did)

or this (also a Piper car):

& I'm sure KRAFTIG would be all over one of these:

I can definitely confirm the Norev MKI GTI is the same, I even eluded to this in my review.

Yes Gavin I would definitely be all over the presentation car. And they did confirm a presentation car is most likely in the works :woot:
