Ever since I began collecting 1:18 diecasts I've wanted a good replica of a 1960s Porsche 911. Last year CMC came out with a 901, the prototype of the 911 series which was gorgeously detailed, as are all of their miniatures, and expensive ($318.75!). link. The expense deterred me but Auto Art has come to the rescue with a beautiful little 1965 911. It's not as detailed as the CMC issue (no removable wheels etc) but the shape is perfect and the fit and finish are excellent and it's less than 1/3 the cost of CMC's 901. The color is a deep cherry red, and it appears to replicate the Euro market version with 356 style disc wheels, checkered upholstery and the "9111" on the trunk skewed to the right side (I believe it was centered on NA-spec 911s. Even better news is that Auto Art is planning a '73 911 Carrera RS/2.7. I suppose it'd be too much to ask for a copy of McQueen's '69 slate grey 911S (as seen in Le Mans)

| This month's Road and Track has a blurb about the Japan Society Gallery show in NYC showcasing rare Japanese Tin-Toy vehicles. 20 fun photos at the link. | |

I recently picked up these two oddballs kits on eBay:   My plan was to build a diorama with them for the Wonderfest model contest, but they arrived a bit too late. Oh, well, at least I have an early start on 2010...
