My brother gifted me my first Norev model for my birthday and it arrived a few days ago. The 992.1 911 S/T. This is my first "highly" detailed model and it is numbered too. The ultraviolet color on this thing is stunning. The phone picture doesn't do it justice.
Congrats! That S/T is Norev's latest in the 992 range and probably the best yet.
I have that same color, Viola Metallic, on a 992 GT3 (also Norev), it's hard to capture in pictures but it is stunning.

I wanted to buy a whole bunch of stuff with the black Friday sales, wasted probably an hour trying to find out why I couldn't put the order.

Only to find out in the end, Due to trump import tax, they no longer ship to my place...

Damn it, there were 6-7 cars I wanted....

Definitely a Bummer !!

But at least I am saving $400


I guess :(

Yeah the import taxes have greatly reduced my collecting as well, unfortunately. I did order some stuff recently, will post pics once they are in my hands.

lol I think I bought just one model this year. Not because of taxes, but prices across the board just went way up considerably. I just don't think it's worth it anymore.
 
Celebrating the good news that the Panda is coming back to GT, I just had to share one of my favourite scale models in my possession!

It's a 1/18 scale of a Panda Sisley II from Laudoracing, in it's original Bordeaux Metallic paintjob!

I also have its own canoe accessory you can strap on the roof rack, like this:

(not pictured on mine, still have to show it off properly in my room)
 
I've literally waited to see the Vectra/Cavalier GSI in 1/18 since I started to collect Bburago in the mid 90s, so as soon as I saw Model Car Group were doing a run of 300 Vauxhall Cavaliers with RHD, I hit preorder. The shop even added the number plate from the Cavalier my dad had back then to add a personal touch.

It's not perfect*, but it is perfect to me for completing a true holy grail. Will sit nicely with the Norev Astra GSI.

*It's the wrong colour, which should have been a burgundy metallic and the taillights are from the facelift minus the black trim strip across the top.
