Dear me. I had no idea why they disappeared. I always thought it was cost: It cost more to commission a painter to render a scene than pay a photographer to shoot the model for the cover. I guess not!

A Porsche thread
I've harboured passion for Porsche's way of doing things down many decades, and continue to marvel at the many Porsche slot cars we can buy, or build, that make our hobby such an enormously interesting pleasure.
This thread, I hope, will result in 'everything' Porsche - your models, photographs, memories and yarns. And anything else, of course.
All contributions will be of great interest, as usual, and I, therefore, thank you in advance.
A few pics below to start the ball rolling.

Hi All:
I'm watching a 1961 era video titled "British Racing Green". The film is getting ready to show the '61 GT race at Goodwood. (just finished watching Sir Sterling Moss win the F1 race at Silverstone!) As the cars were being lined up, I saw this Porsche GT:

Anyone know what version/model/whatever that is? Seems too low and stretched to be a 356-based car. A GT RS?
Kind of like it.

Here's the beautifully louvred rear end of the 356 Abarth Carrera.

One of Porsche's farm tractors, of which there is now a large-scale plastic kit available.

Some 911 models
1/40th scale by Jouef, not the original rear tyres.

another Jouef

And again

I also have a spear yellow Jouef body.
Awaiting in the wings, just need to decide which Le mans car it will be and if I am keeping it an RS or converting back to S spec rear end

And on it's way, left Heathrow yesterday, for conversion

A few pics below of the Abarth Carrera of which Frogeye's superb bodyshell (above) is most accurately representative.

Apart from a few 1960's cars, 904, 906 and 917, I'm not a big Porsche follower, says he 
These are probably mainly 911's but that's nor on the chassis so I have listed them separately. In fact the all say Carrera.
The left hand car #63 is Atrin's 1/43rd scale attempt at the harlequin car. The white car is also an Artin. The black car just has Porsche on the chassis but the stickers say 959.

These two, again 1/43rd scale are unbranded Hong Kong made cars.
![281307]()
These two are Artin 1/43rd scale again and just say Carrera on the chassis with GT3 stickers.
![281308]()
Finally two Jouef 1/40th scale cars again only listed as Porsche Carrera

This one is still in the bubble packaging.
