Random model pic of the day!

@chris Did you now that the owner of SO CAL Speed Shop stopped racing when his brother in-law was killed in the car when the clutch blew apart and ruptured a fuel line causing a fire. They did not have the bell housings like today that can contain an exploded clutch.

Wow, I wasn't aware of that either. 

What a hard and very sad lesson to learn.

Spark Porsche 901
Minichamps Porsche 911 Carrera

Fine models and in terrific colors, too.

@mikedetorrice +1.

Thanks gents!

Connie Kalitta and the Bounty Hunter, the GMP 1/18 scale and the actual 1/1 car at the Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing. 

The 993 (on the far left) is a new release that my wife & kids got me for Father's Day.

That Norev is really nice, too bad it's sealed. 😞

The yellow Norev 993 in my previous post is sealed...the red 964 above (a new release) is fully opening & an incredible model.  I'll add a full thread shortly, but here's a teaser.

@gavin Oops! I'm an idiot.... 🙄    

Yes, your Norev is NOT sealed, and appears to be an excellent model, I eagerly await future pics!  I meant to say, "That Spark is really nice, too bad it's sealed.  😔"

Ah...I do wish that Spark wasn't sealed too.  AutoArt did an early 1964 911, which is excellent, but I missed it for a reasonable price.

I know race cars don't do well here, but had to add this one.  The Jagermeister car is a new release.
