Hey everyone....I have just registered on this cool forum...

I'm currently waiting on my C2 996 to be delivered around Nov/Dec (Australian Delivery)

In the meantime, the people at 'AutoArt' models have released a facelifted 996 in speed yellow for me to play with until the real thing arrives later this year...

Its a 1/18 scale model and has opening Doors, Bonnet + Boot Lid (Hood and Trunk for you US guys). Engine bay is detailed and so is under the hood....

I have attached a photo or 2 for all to see....

Regards

Wow thats is a awesome model!! Welcome to the board.. I bet the waiting time is killin ya! I assume you ordered speed yellow?

 

Nice!
You even got silver gauges!
Are you getting the RUF aluminum pedals next?

 

Nice model, is that a model from Porsche?

 

You need yellow seat belts!

 

The Model is manufactured by a company called AutoArt Models.

They have a website - www.autoartmodels.com

The 996 is a 1/18 scale and should be available in the US at any good hobby shop etc. I purchased mine from a hobby shop which deals mainly in static models of cars.

Note that other Porsche models are also available - They are obviously manufactured under license from Porsche.

I'll have to convert mine to RHD as I'm in Aus

I apologise for the slightly out of focus photos...Unfortunately I'm using a cheap Konica digital camera (borrowed from work) and I cannot adjust the aperture manually to allow for more depth of field.
