For the seats of the mini are 996.
And the truth seats of 993 sport

 

part of my 993 collection from UT

 

+993, just got my 1:18 GT Spirit Iris Blue on Red C4S, amazed at the level of detail and craftsmanship! Pricey but worth it IMO.

If anyone knows of any scale model in Zenith blue, pls let me know, so far a little twin/mini-me remains elusive!

 

Thought you all would like to see this: a 1:5 scale 993. Probably painted resin. I have never seen one before.

It is made by Ehrmann Modelltechnik, apparently. "Studio Art 1996."

1996 is far too late for a development model, however it does appear to be produced exclusively for Porsche AG. For what purpose IDK. Perhaps for display at their headquarters or Gmuend museum.

RF wheel needs to be realigned. RF brake caliper being in the wrong place (the caliper probably spins with the wheel). Crests point to the ground like display/demonstration Porsches and to the (phantom) valve stem.

The (fake) license plate is registered for either Waiblingen / Rems-Murr-Kreis. I don't know of any Porsche significance in these cities, however they are in the same region as Stuttgart (Baden- Wuerttemberg).

The GO in Porsche's "S-GO" plates stands for preproduction. I do not know what JA stands for. As a word it of course means "yes" but I doubt that is the intention here. Whatever it is, it could be a clue to the model's origin.

It does appear to be pretty close to Zenith Blue.

 

I have the 1:12 GT spirit turbo 3.6 and the 1:18 GT spirit 964 3.8RS. Both look great but have no features like opening doors, engine etc. I collect all scales and have hundreds of scale models from 1:43 to 1:10 scale and GT spirit is the only manufacturer that doesn't seem to offer an engine and or opening doors. Still great detail for the exterior but I don't think I will purchase another unless they add something for the price.

About 10 years ago I made 25 of these for presents to the Judges of Zone 1 concours. Cast aluminum 1:24 scale a bit rough but that was the idea. Right after this Porsche came out with their line of cast aluminum models which are very nice but I don't think they make a 993. The idea was that the owner could polish these to whatever finish they wanted. This was the rough prototype the balance were far more detailed and finished looking. I have a couple of others floating around and the tooling but cost far too much to make and sell at a reasonable price.

 

My 7-year old son got this bad boy in his Christmas stocking and brought it straight over to me saying, "Daddy, a 993!"

 

Well...there are this many, plus the very limited (1 of 600 IIRC) Gulf edition, color variations. I have been hoarding them, have 20 complete sets.

 

cool models

 

I'm trying to match my 1:1 911.

Miniatures du Chateau 1:43 hand made resin.


GT Spirit 1:18 resin RWB



Both don't match at all and the second one has some sort of body kit! :P

I'm in the process of stripping down a UT. I'll post up some photos if/when it's finished.

 

Bump! Looking to rekindle this 993 scale models conversation with current options. I'm hoping to find C2 in black but the AUTOart in green looks pretty slick. Any favs or future looking offerings you can share are much appreciated!

 

NOREV is doing one 993 C2 in black in 1/18 but cannot open doors and I think wheels don’t steer.

Thanks, Watson. My main concern with the NOREV 1/18 is the level of detail. Does anyone have this one?

Two others I'm considering are the AUTOart 1/12 (dark green, close enough for all the cool opening bits, die cast, and level of detail):

Or the 1/18 from Top Marques but it doesn't seem to have any moving parts and is pricey. But it looks fantastic:

Wow, thanks for the link.

I think the AutoArt is really good and you can open doors and front wheel steer. Just need to repaint it and I am wondering how to make the blinkers in orange color.

 

Hi. Does anyone know of there is a 1:18 C2S in black, by any producer? I’d really like to source one - a mini me for my garage!
