:joy :joy :joy :joy

With this, the Porsche theme comes to end in 2005 (apart for surprises). Got all cars on my wishlist :happy

About the car, this Porsche raced in the 1971 Lemans, was going well but it DNF. AUTOart made a pretty good job on this one, its so much better than the 917K. Its all tampos and shutlines are very small and opening parts do stay up on their own with good hinges, and details are at a pretty good level. A good one. :nicejob

Full review in a couple of week time .. sorry!

Nice addition but tell me, you are not going to add the 1970 "L" when it comes out?

 

[Guest]

Thanks Stevie, Jeff

I really reccomend this one.

Jeff, I am not sure yet, in theory, I get only one version. So its one L. Adding to that, the martini livery is the one I like most. I need to find a good deal on the new release which knowing how this one sold, is pretty hard.

 

[JSB 33]

How does your list cope with a case where the 1970 L is very different than the 1971?

And I agree that the Martini livery is probably the best of the bunch :joy
It looks great next to the pig!

 

[Guest]

I dont really know if there is much difference, but if there is a significant one, well, then it gains a good number of spots on my list, but still, it wont be on the GET list.

Now I have the K, L, /20, /10, /30 all lined next to each other on a shelf.... wow :tongue :yahoo

 

[JSB 33]

Look here and decide for yourself :cheers

And I would love to see a picture of that shelf!

 

[Guest]

Thanks for the pics :cheers

Now that looks nice. I had seen some pictures of it and it is certain that I haven't looked very well. There looks to be a lot from the first version Porsche had issued for homologation, particularly the low rear end. Some striking differences, but not enough to get on my GET list. Will gauge it when I see it side by side with the martini 917L if somebody is good enough to take that picture when it comes out (wink wink) :giggle

Right now, cant take a shelf photo, but will post it later on :cheers

Lucky you! :cheers
I'm still after the L, but not even close to finding one so far. Guess I'll have to put it on my 2006 Wish List.

I reccomend that your write it with PERMANENT BLACK WIDE marker. Its a gorgoues one.

 

[LUW]

I will get it, I know, it's just a matter of time. But it sure could be sooner then later. :giggle

Congrats on completing your wishlist Bernard! The livery is gorgeous on this car. Pity that the 1:1 car DNFed but that doesn't make the model any less worthy. :cheers

Congrats on your newest porker Bern. I am still wanting the hippy car. . . :joy

 

[Guest]

The hippy car looks to be a great car. Goodluck on your choice :cheers

For Jeff, here's what the setup looks like.

Got most of my Uts, Maisto and Bburago Porsche on another cabinet. But I leave these together as I feel they are the best.

Congratulations, Bernard - nice model, and a few nice shelves there, too!
