Thanks Paulius - there was no way I was going to miss this one! Production runs can these days be very unpredictable so it's always better to err on the side of caution and get in quick if it's a must have model.
You're right about the wheels, they are too shiny - it was more the actual representation of the complex design that I was praising.

That is indeed a great-looking model of a brutal design. They did a fab job on it, but that's what you get when you leave it to Spark. I wonder if Schuco will be the road car division of Spark from now on...

A fitting tribute to Victor Gauntlet by AM and a very fine looking model too!

I didn't manage to get a Victor. Looks wonderful on your pictures... Hopefully they will do a re run, not uncommon for Schuco Pro.R....

Extremely cool looking model! A fabulous addition! Thanks, yes I am very glad to have it! Thanks Paulius - there was no way I was going to miss this one! Production runs can these days be very unpredictable so it's always better to err on the side of caution and get in quick if it's a must have model. You're right about the wheels, they are too shiny - it was more the actual representation of the complex design that I was praising.  That is indeed a great-looking model of a brutal design. They did a fab job on it, but that's what you get when you leave it to Spark. I wonder if Schuco will be the road car division of Spark from now on... I'd bet that all their new models will be made by Spark. The "new" release of Mercedes SL73 R129 is just a repaint of Spark's original silver dealer edition.. repackaged into Schuco box. That's what I figured comparing model pictures. A fitting tribute to Victor Gauntlet by AM and a very fine looking model too! I am a huge fan of the original V8 Vantage and DBS, so this is somehow retro-inspired and fits my Aston garage perfectly! I didn't manage to get a Victor. Looks wonderful on your pictures... Hopefully they will do a re run, not uncommon for Schuco Pro.R.... You never know - maybe another run will surface and they even get them discounted.. Like the Maybach Vision SUV concept, they are still available while the other Maybach concepts vanished immediately. |

My latest arrivals, already showed and discussed here in the forum.. Spark for Porsche Lifestyle (Dealer Edition) 2017 Porsche 919 Street - Hypercar study (1/1 mockup), part of the Porsche Unseen 15 concepts "family". I like sort of brutal-ish design, and it looks nicely nicely along the 911 GT1 Street family as a modern LeMans racer adapted to road use from the 21st century.     P.S. the pictured model was sold and the one in my collection has a different series number. |

A nice non-911 and one of only a few modern hypercars getting made in 1:43. There is some hope on the horizon however with Solido's announcement of a couple of Koenigseggs and the eagerly awaited (by me) Peako De Tomaso P72  . |

That’s a pretty cool looking Porsche! I love those fins! Same here, "fine" detail  A nice non-911 and one of only a few modern hypercars getting made in 1:43. There is some hope on the horizon however with Solido's announcement of a couple of Koenigseggs and the eagerly awaited (by me) Peako De Tomaso P72 . I sometimes think we have too many options now for manufacturers and models But still good to see new companies developing lower cost models! Great looking model. Please do a group shot with the van Agree with you! Will post the van now, but the group shot has to wait. |
