That's a pretty steep price for that model... it doen't have to be that expensive (see my signature).

Yea, I saw Nicole's at OCIC! Thanks for looking out for me! If it were Arrow blue I'd be ALL OVER IT! Nicole would have taken one fewer home with her!

Wow - that's pretty much my car! (mines a 78, but looks similar on the outside; inside is cork op art). I may have to grab one of these and paint the interior.

Hmmm. Wonder how hard it would be to disassemble and re-paint Arrow Blue? Of course, there may be problems with decals, etc. I saw them at OCIC, but didn't look at them with a re-paint in mind.

Seems later variants like S, S4 etc are not coming yet. Hopefully AutoArt just waits for Panamera coupe launch and then bring them to shops.

Here's the link to the white one. Might make the Arrow Blue pop a little more with a white basecote...

OT
Due to a remodel, I am having to clean out the attic where I stuffed junk from '68 thru '89. There were lots of models that I was going to build as soon as I got a round tuit. Things like a 1:12 scale Honda F1, circa 1967, John Surtees driving, still in the plastic...

Seriously?
No offense James (or anyone else who will only buy a model that matches their real car exactly) but this seams kind of silly to me.

Ive got an S4 apart , gutted and stripped to the bare metal ready to paint and customize one of these days. Not that hard at all. I cant find a set of turbo twist in 1/24th though! The paint match would be the toughest. I would take a trip to your local hobby store, there are a numerous variety of colors out there now.

Hacker,

I already have a TON of 928 models... I really don't need anymore, but if I found one that was a MATCH for one of my cars I would buy it... Last thing I need is "just another 928 model."

Tony - Touchup paints in factory colors can be obtained not only in the little bottles, but also in spray cans.

I purchased mine from www.paintscratch.com It's pricey at about $25 bucks a can, but hey, who said there's anything rational about 928 ownership. Is your paint code L980? Looks like they have it, so get that model painted!

Now, for James' application I'm not seeing an Arrow Blue listed under 1982 colors. There's a Royal Blue, L305, that looks close. If James were to provide them the proper code, I bet they could prepare it for him.

HTH!

I would love to have any of the post '87 variants in 1:18....! Of course, I would disassemble it and custom match it to mine
