This model is really nice! My first Spark (together with 935 Moby Dick).
Luckily it arrived in perfect condition unlike Moby Dick. :nt:
Unluckily one mudguard fell off when I was handling the model for this little photoset but nothing hard to fix.
The package is almost like Ottomobile though newer model of 935 has base and slightly different package design.
The livery is very striking, glowing. I think the real car was a bit less bright. Decals applied without a fault.
But Martini livery is always beuatiful! :rockon:
Great details all around. But windows are too thin and easy to bend/scratch.
Undercarriage is nicely detailed as well.
There is a polished metal plate which is an eye-catcher. Plus there are impressive engine details.
Overall it is a great model. One of my favourites now :D
Will look great next to my Lancia Stratos Safari by Kyosho which is still unpacked

Wow that is very cool! There is a lot of exterior detail on this model I can see how easily something could break off.

I'd love to add one of these at some point. Always loved the jacked up stance..which somehow still works on a 911.

Reminds me of the VW Golf Country for some weird reason :)

Cheers, guys!
You shouldn't wait too long cause it won't be available for long time.

Actually reason is quite obvious :D
Pity that Norev's Golf Mk.2 mould is three-door, not five.
Otherwise they could have done Golf Country as well.
I think Ottomobile will make it soon

Congrats ! Is that your order from Modelissimo ?
The chassis details are :wow: :wow: .

Luckily, I don't collect rally cars as I'd have to buy them all (Sparks + TSM) since there are only few 911s which did rally.

Thanks. I bought it from Carmodelz.com
If I were you I would collect Rally Porsche models as well since there are only few as you said :fingercrossed:
