TALE OF TWO PORSCHES - SOLIDO/SCHUCO

A TALE OF TWO PORSCHES

SCHUCO 911 S

As a massive Porsche fan and collector there have been to releases that have seriously impressed me this year. One, is this beautiful 911 S by Schuco finished in metallic gold. This is from the diecast metal line up which means “opening parts people!!!!” Level of detail is gorgeous, and the paint has obviously been clear coated well to give the color an uplifting shine.

That shape to die for

Say ahhhhh

Take a peek

Schuco’s diecast opening models are always a treat. They love to put a lot of detail in and try to re-create not just the aesthetics but also the experience. For example, open the front bonnet and you will find the luggage space lined with felt. Open the rear engine bay, and it will be filled with a beautiful tiny air-cooled engine complete with original warning labels.

The handsome rear

Why must you buy this Porsche? If you love the car and brand and your whole hobby life has been living and breathing Porsche then this is must have in your collection because the detail is so good you could conduct a show and tell class on the 911 S with this. Schuco has taken full advantage of the scale size and thrown in as much as they can.

SOLIDO 964 TURBO 3.6

The other model that has brought joy to my growing collection of Porsches is the 964 Turbo 3.6 by SOLIDO. The insane detail starts from the wheels up with the rears being the perfect deep-dish depth. The level of detail on this model is astounding and SOLIDO should be super proud about this flagship piece.

SOLIDO’s route is a little different. Though the model does have opening doors, that’s the extent they have gone, on that front. Instead they have focused more on the exterior of the car and it certainly doesn’t go unnoticed. The stance is perfect and the way the tires fill the arches perfectly especially at the back with the wider rear is drool worthy. Lights are super realistic, and the shape of the car is done right.

Nice wings

Come inside

The rear of the year

Why must you buy this Porsche? If you don’t French Ninjas will break into your home and smash one Porsche model a day until you buy this Porsche. How could you deny your collection such a well crafted model. It looks stunning, priced really well, perfectly painted. You must have this.
