Default Scored a Revell 951 model today!

Was out running errands with the wifey and when we hit Trader Joe's we parked in front of a Hobby Town store in the same little shopping center. After loading up on munchie foods I went in and checked it out.

They had a bunch of cool Porsches including a 962C and this snazzy euro 951, so I had to buy it. Woot. That is all.

Looks like this. Note the euro front end and side markers. Wish it had Fuchs too!

Very easy to get Fuchs. Find a Revell 930 model in 1/24 and wala not only do you have Fuchs but whide body Fuchs to boot. 930 models are all over ebay and then you can build a 930 with custom wheels also found on ebay.

I've got something like a hundred Porsche models unbuild in my closet.

I found one about 10 years ago and made it a replica of my 951 and then my bro-in-law just found the model again and bought it for my last b-day....the model goes together very well.....nice find!

$28. Kinda shocked me as they are a wee bit more pricey than I remember as a kid 20 years ago. But hey. It's a 951.
