I received a blue one (115/999) today (still one pending, lets see if that one appears very soon as well), so those do exist too. This blue one came without the bottom black plastic presentation stand item, then again this is a few euro's cheaper than the amethyst coloured version.
All in all as others already wrote earlier: nice attention to detail.

The display base is a feature of the GT Club exclusive models so is only included with the amethyst version.

Got mine with a busted wing, pushed in rear window and a dent out of the paint. While pretty I'm not impressed at all. For something that cost about $145.00 I would expect it to be on par with others in this price range. Doors an hood that function, not flimsy plastic on the windows that can be pushed in and parts that blow off if you roll it across the floor. The Auto Art ones Nicole sell blow this away.




Autoart one.

Here is my 928GTS (GT Spirit) and 928 (Autoart). From quality point of view, Autoart made is much better. All the doors can open plus the steering wheel can turn it.

37/500 Just showed up on my door step.



The exterior and interior are beautiful and very well detailed. I'm just a little disappointed at the complete lack of engine and chassis detail. At this price point Autoart offers much better detail and opening doors/hood/hatch, but if you want a 1/18 late 928 this is the only game in town.

Hmmm.. Both are nice but I don't know which color to order.

Do these model lights pop up like the Auto art version?

Nope, the wheels are functional though.
