Well It took some finding because fed-sucks delivered it to the house up the street, but I got my 1:10 scale Porsche Carrera GT. This thing is huge as you can see below. I dont think it's 1:10 cause it doesn't on the box. I'm thinking more like 1:6 scale as you will see. I got it off flebay for a grand total of $26.79 and that included shipping. Here are some pic's of it as it is now before I take it apart and get to work on it.

It has all the bell's & whistles, working head & tail lights, horn, 3 speed's (normal, fast and get the hell outta here) I already tested it and it works 100%. This is the only damage it has and that was listed in the auction.

It appears to be a good clean break so a little bondo and fixing it will be a snap!. I plan on re-detailing the interior, changing the head lights from 2 working to 4 hi/low and add a ground effect light kit to it. The rear valance you see above I'm thinking of molding a clear one and detail out the engine compartment and of course paint. If any of you have any paint schemes you might like to see on this take a copy of the photo's and paint them in your fav. proggie. I would like to see them and see if it's possible? Im kinda in a mind slump right now so all the help I can get would be great. More than likely this will also be donated somewhere down the road for something. Oh and to show you some scale diff. in these things here are some shots of it with the 1:10 scale benz on top LoL so no way is this thing 1:10.

looks cool allthough im not a fan of the car itself. should look awesome when complete.
my bro used to fiddle about with modles in his 'teens, he made a lush 1949 mercury, it was as low as low goes, purple metalic and pink stripes, was cool.
i have a bmw m3 that he painted silver for me, i had it twice so i made it a twin engine lol. it sits really low on some porsche boxter chrome rims lol
