TWO: Porsche Carrera RS type 993 (1/18 scale, UT Models)

Since I'm stuck in class until 9pm on Wednesday nights, I will do this feature now...


I bought this über rare model inside this specialty model shop. I couldn't believe that they had stock of the UT 993 Porsches. At first I bought their black Turbo, and was not really thinking about picking up this Guard's Red lightweight. But then I was looking at pictures of this model, and sort of fell for the bucket seats and unique whale-tale spoiler. Considering that these models go for anywhere from $100-249 USD on ebay, I think I got a pretty good deal on it. I will feature the type 993 Turbo in another feature. I won't elaborate on the quality of this diecast, it is well known that the UT 993 Porsches are currently the best made in 1/18 scale, and have been out of production for a long time. The detailing is not quite on par to modern offerings of similar price, but the quality is really nice.
