Would you buy a high quality 1:18 scale 924/944/951/968?

In my experience, AutoArt is rather restrictive on colors. That they offer three colors in this is pretty "generous" already. Unless they sell like hotcakes, I doubt they'll ad another color that they haven't announced, yet.

We have the same issue with the 928 models - which are currently available in white and minerva blue. The S model is announced in silver and red, and many people want a black one.

Just buy the white turbo and black S2 (when it is released) and swap the wheels and engine. Should be an easy swap, I'm sure there a thread about how to S2 my Turbo somehere here...

Excellent idea Eric...I'll probably just part out the black turbo when I'm done. My wife probably wont' even complain if it takes a long time....

Not picking on you, just a good post to spring off for my rant.

I never understood only wanting scale models, of a favorite car, only in the color you own. I know it's not just 944 or Porsche owners. I was in the model business for a while.
I really wanted to bang my head with a hammer when the owner of a 65 convertible didn't want the 66 convertible.....(hint - the only noticeable difference is in the B-pillar which doesn't exist with a convertible - the grill wasn't detailed enough to matter). Customers would say: "Well the box says 66 and I have a 65....."

Sorry, just call me confused.

Wait, are you parting out a real full scale 951 or a 1:18 model

/first for everything

If it had many realistic features I'd buy one. Things like working belts that you have to change every few years, a hole in the battery tray, sunroof gears that break, a delaminated rear hatch and it must have a spare DME in the glovebox.

If it comes with a spare LS1 that could swap in easily that would be a bonus.
