Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

My 4 yr old son has become fixated on the 996, and proudly points out every one on the road. (There are lots in northern california).
I want to get him one of the 1/18 or so scale models. Anyone know anything about the various brands? In a quick web search I've seen UT, AutoArt, Gate, Gateway to name a few. Prices appear to be between $20 and $50.
Which are most realistic / detailed?
Do any of the cabrio models have working tops?
I bet a lot of you have one of these on your desk or bookshelf. Pls let me know the mfr and your opinion of how authenitic the model is.
Thx!

I agree with RJT's recommendation, but I'll add that I prefer 1/43 scale for detail. Even though they are much smaller, I find them to be more accurate. Whatever you do, skip 1/24 scale. Very few of that size are even close.

Just re-read your post. Don't get a 4yo a 1/43 scale model. It's a bit too fragile for that age. Go with 1/18 scale, as it is much more 'play with' friendly.
-Paul
Don't care about detail ! A 4y old kid doesn't know the value of it. You'd better buy a remote controlled Porsche. You can find them on the Porsche website : there is a Cayenne, turbo and Boxster. He will be much more impressed I think.

Redcab,
Go to <a href="http://www.exoticar.com" target="_blank">www.exoticar.com</a>
they have everything! There is a nice hotwheels 1/18 conv w/hardtop, tho its blue, $29.99
Thanks for thinking of it in terms of my 4 yr old. Actually it is okay for it to be a little fragile. It's good for teaching him to respect things. Maybe I can teach him some detailing skills on the model and then when he's older....
Here's another huge website of scale models with many Porsche choices that came up...
<a href="http://autoearth.com" target="_blank">http://autoearth.com</a> and then you have to search for the Porsches.
