While Porsche is one of the best-represented automakers in 1/64 scale, it can still be tough to find a high-fidelity casting of some of their older models.
The 1998 release/tooling, multi-piece 930 Turbo from the Black Box series is certainly a well-done casting, but the silver headlamps, unpainted fog lights and plain chrome wheels kind of condemn it to being less sought after than a Schuco or Tomytec Porsche, but I was not deterred, and hand-painted the missing details to bring this Y2K era collectible into the modern day.
With the detailing done, this automatically became my favorite small-scale Porsche in my collection. (still need to get the 550 Spyder by HW 100%, though)
