Where did you pick this up?

Also is there a consensus on the best GB / GR model?

Yah prices are generally around $90 for customized 1:43, but pretty sure it's cheaper if you send the model.

Arghhh wish I knew. I didn't know they made that. Guess having both will be okay or can let the kiddo play with the norev.

Norev is still very good. I have a guards red 7.2 GT3 made by norev and I have been very happy with it.

I have the AutoArt in GB/GR and it's the best one to get, regardless of color!

Got the NoRev version in. Overall quality is okay. Feels like it could break pretty easily if handled by kids.

Waiting on the AutoArt version.

I think my main peeve with both models is that they mounted a front plate. Wish they just left it off.

Thanks. I did do a quick search on eBay but as suspected I didn’t find any

This is a solid deal for a 997.2RS 1:18 scale model, from Porsche. These were made by Norev, according to the box. But finding ones from Porsche Design Drivers Selection in the Porsche box is not easy. I just picked up a 997.1 GT3 scale model, again from Porsche Design Drivers Selection from a member on here, but mine was made by Autoart I believe. I maybe have found 1-2 that come up for sale per year, so I bought it.
