Default 1:43 Models of Carl's 928 racers

Don't know if this is an enzo(and don't care), but saw where TSM plans to make a 1:43 scale model of Carl's 2009 Pikes Peak Racer & 2011 Bonneville Land Speed Record 928. Pretty neat that a couple of modern 928 'racers' will be made into models. Kudos to Carl, way to represent the 928!

The price shown is $63 each when they become available, with no date shown. Replicarz shows a few other planned 928s, including 1983 & 1984 928s that raced at LeMans planned by Spark for $73.99 ea. They also have a few currently available. I plan to add all four of these to my collection once they become available.

Looks like last one sold. Save vendor has 171 Porsche models, and a couple other 928 basic models still listed.

Are they out? I have (obviously) known about this for some time, I supplied them with the pictures from every angle and such for their modeling work.

But I had not yet heard they were being shipped.

Here are some of the proofs they sent me for the Bonneville LSR car. The rear diffuser was not right on this set of proofs, and from the picture above, it looks like they corrected it.

These guys are crazy obsessed with accuracy. Right down to the parachute and the tabs ion the glass.

That car just looks like it's going 200mph sitting still. LOVE IT!

Maybe my car, but certainly not me

They are also making a model of my Pikes Peak car (3rd place in the Pikes Peak Open, 2007 and 2009)

Can't wait to see it.
