I would dearly love to get my hands on a real one of these. I bought this 1/18 scale one to try and satisfy my graw for the real thing – how ridiculous!!

Modifying 1/18 Minichamps Porsche GT3 RS
The pictures speak for themselves but briefly, a plain white body looks a bit boring! I mean, it’s an excellent model by Minichamps, but for my own liking, I’d like to see some aspects of the car highlighted. Although, as I think about it more, I’m looking at it from the unlikely position of a prospective (real) Porsche buyer – and that’s very unlikely!!
