I was just curious how many people collected them and if they could post pictures. I have about 70 models and tons of magazines and books at home that i will soon post so you can check them out.

I started down this road a little over a year ago. Recently I've gotten into 1/43 scale Porsche racecars. I have several 1/18 scale street Porsches, the favorite being a Maritime Blue 993 RS. Also recently got Schumachers 03 Ferrari and Montoya's Williams in 1/18. I think I have somewhere around 30 total.

I have a lot. Mostly 1/24th scale, some 1/43. Here are two of my favorite 1/43 cars, both 924CGTs cars:

If I did start a collection, this is what I would want to get:

It's kind of funny that Porsche has the wrong rear spoiler on the 1991 S2 model.

I still want one though.

What size is that S2?

Is 1/43 the hotwheels size scale?

Those are pretty cool models Tifo... I have some of the old Hotwheels 911's, in various colors, from the mid-70's- an orage 924 & possibly one or two other Porsche's- would have to look- some in decent condition- there is one gold 911 that came from their Gold Ones series w/a Ferrai & several other cars... I'm knd of thinking that 1:43 might be larger, the detail on your's looks better... Same w/the blue S2, but, being in that case, etc, I eould it expect it to be larger- I would really like to find one about Hotwheels size or MAYBE just a little larger- a 951... Especialy nice if it could have the detail of the wheels too... did they make any 968's in Hotwheels or anything?

i collect 1/18 cars. i only have three 3 porsche's plus one in the mail: 911 turbo, boxster, carrera, and a gt2 which i just ordered. ive got like 25 cars total.

1/43 is *slightly* larger than hotwheels, not much. Here are some more pics.

A Lemans 911 1/43 scale





And, one of several 911 supercup tins that I have. These were sold at the races and contained chocolates. Highly detailed. (about 1/24 scale)

Robby

Tifo- those are REALLY cool... Would a 1:43 fit in the little console pocket underneath the stereo in our cars?

tifosiman

Robby, Thanks! Yes they will fit, very small........

I have more, I'll take some more pics soon of the others.

I just bought my first real 944 this fall! So I just started collecting recently. I have a white Matchbox 944, a 1/43 white 944(in the mail), and a 1/18 Guards Red Boxter(in the mail).

I've collected and built Porsche models for years. It's a fluid collection - as i change the car, then the models tend to be changed to match!

I collect all sizes from 1/76 - about and inch long for a 911 to 1/8 ....see the picture below! BTW, the green car is in 1/18 scale which is about 9 inches long.

Still looking for decent models of the 944 (S2 or Turbo)

I got a 911 GT2 RC car for Christmas, which is kind of a model. Not sure what the exact scale is, but it's big enough to harass my cats with!

Here's my starter kit. More to come as I find them.

About half of my collection. This portion is mostly the low rent district (Bburago, Maisto, etc). Ive got quite a few minichamps, exotos, UT, autoarts, on the other side of the room. I need to thin out the maistos/bburagos. Too many non Porsches I really have little interest in keeping.

This thread seems to come up about once a year.
