Norscot CAT 336D L Excavator
The 336 is a medium sized excavator. Next to my 323 it looks it's big. The model has all the movements you would expect. This is a previous generation model without the features you get on the newer Diecast Master models.

Norscot CAT 963D Tracked Loader
I always wanted a tracked loader and this model is a very nice example of one. The bucket unfortunately does not raise high enough but for the rest of the model I can't find fault with.
Norscot CAT 623G Scraper
I'm very excited about my first scraper model. This is one of the older models so a lot the the finer details that you get on the newer models is not it.

Kyosho Lamborghini Countach LP500S Walter Wolf
Few cars have such icon status as the Lamborghini Countach. It was the car that featured on most boys bedroom walls during the 70's and 80's. Designed not to be anyway practical but purely for looks and performance the Countach introduced a new standard by which super cars would be measured.
My model is one of the Walter Wolf cars. Wolf had Lamborghini build him three special Countach cars, the first one was red followed by two blue cars. Both Autoart and Kyosho have blue models but the mirrors on the cars are different. The Autoart has round gold mirrors and the Kyosho blue aero dynamic mirrors. I belief the Autoart model is car #2 and Kyosho car #3.
The model ticks all the boxes, the detail inside and on the outside is perfect and the I found nothing wrong with the paint job or any of the details. If you are sport car model collector this is one car which model you need to have in your collection.

Autoart Porsche 997 GT3 RS 4.0
One of the great drivers cars of all the times the 997 GT3 RS 4.0 was Porsche 997 parting gift. Only 600 was made (100 more than the GT2 RS 500 cars). Porsche took the GT3 RS engine and increased it to a 4 litre giving 493 HP compared to regular RS 450 HP. Some engine piece was also taken from the RSR racing car and chassis parts from the GT2 RS was also used.
Nothing to complain about the model, I can't spot any flaws and as normal the quality is very high. Like on the my GR2 RS one of the high lights is the interior with the red roof lining. On the outside the white looks stunning on the pictures but in real life it looks a little bit blunt in my opinion. This car also have the biggest wing of all my cars in my collection.
A stunning addition to my collection. This is now my 6th 997 and maybe time to move on.
A nice touch is the safety belts made from lint.
Not much to see in the engine compartment.
The rear wing is impressive.
