Nice! Look out on CK-Modelcars, they sometimes get an alternate color on the GT Spirit models. Never know, could be white.
Resins ain't THAT new, as garage built 1/43 resins have been around since at least the early 1990's.
Mass produced resins like GT Spirits, Sparks, and Ottos on the other hand are fairly new, as before those brands most resins were from the likes of BBR and MR and usually in 1/43. I personally haven't heard of old BBR's having any issues, as they probably use a rather stable resin. And like diecast models, they should be kept away from heat and humidity because that will ruin paint, diecast or resin.
Anyway a couple new GT Spirits:
*EDIT*
Few more pics, will take more this weekend hopefully:
Also got two more on the way lol...
This isn't a 911! Instead, it's a friggin gorgeous Kyosho F40. I may collect only 911s in 1/18 scale, but I had to have this. Sorry for the crappy pictures, I'll get better ones another time.
Man, the box got all finger printy quick...
But here is a 911 I also got, GT Spirit 993 GT2. It's supposed to be dark blue, but I think it's too dark. Oh well, still nice.
And all 3 of my 993 GT2s.

I had all of my work term to do stuff, but I gave into daily distractions 98% of the time (youtube and video games).
Stuck some plastic on the not-really-a splitter to give the front some detail without succumbing to canards.
Cutting the shape for the diffuser had proven to be tricky for the casting's body was not perfectly symmetrical (great job, Motormax). But after shaving off the stock lip, I stuck a layer of styrene to form the foundation. Another piece will go on top of this.
Yeah, small update. Next I'll have to figure out how I can mimic Rocket Bunny's rear diffuser. I'm sure that's going to set me back another 4 months
I like the "Blood Splatter Graffitti" paint, it's a unique touch. Same goes for the "1980 + sign" rims, this is such a bold recreation...
Joke aside, it's AA, it's bound to be very impressive and VERY expensive. Those who can afford are sure to have a great model in their hands, but that list might be very limited...

Too bad it will be made in Composite, not Diecast.
I don't care about that, anyway. As long as I got the holiest grail of Porsches (the Blackbird), then I'm happy with that particular 1:18 and promised myself not to buy models of that scale anymore.
