most of the other forums I visit have threads like these...just an excuse to show off some models. 😉 Everyone, feel free to post pics and/or comments.

AutoArt 2005 Ford Mustang (S197) GT
other than the silver stripes, an exact match for my 1:1 2007 GT.

These AA 'Stangs are great. I have a few but I'm not really fond of these factory FoMoCo fan-blade rims. As for those stripes....they can be removed with products like "Goo-Off' and/or Mineral spirits (I've removed "many a stripe" this way).

Here's the "California Special" GT.

Rich, that's perfect! Not sure I've seen many of these AA CS GTs. Those are the BEST rims (IMO) for this car!

@rich-sufficool. I passed on the CS, since I had the GT & GT500, but I do love that model, especially in that dark red.
@chris That's tempting. Might have to try removing them. I do like the rims on the CS, but at least around here, they were much more common. That's why I like the fan blades.
Today's pic...
UT Models 1998 Porsche 911 (993) Turbo S
My favorite 911. The 993 was the first 911 Turbo to offer AWD. The Turbo S was the last of the air-cooled 911s before the water cooled 996 generation. Only 345 were ever made.

Despite being a resin, I always thought this Norev was nicely done. From any angle it all looks "right." (Even better than a few Autoart Vettes..IMO)

From what I've read, these (& some other recent releases) Norevs are actually diecast, not resin...but they are sealed. I agree, on the look, though...really nails it. I missed out on the AA Coupes, but I'm pretty happy with this.
I've had a few of the UT Porsches and loved all of them !

I have 11 UT Porsches & love all of them. They really did a good job & were very reasonably priced.

@gavin Yes, I goofed.... Norev seal-diecast (not resin).
AWESOME K LAMBO! The red looks great .... so used to the all-to-common white.

@chris Thanks Chris. Love the Countach, early cars or late with flares & wings. They're all good.

Thanks @chris. I have the Challenger T/A in yellow. Definitely a good color.
