[REVIEW] NZG Porsche 911/930 Turbo 1:43

And something different yet again, this time, a look at an old style higher quality 1:43 model. This is the Porsche 911/930 Turbo, by NZG. This model was released in 1983 or 1984 (the "10.84" on the base could be a clue). This is what nice models were like before computer modeling and photo etching and the rest of the modern fancy stuff.

It is still pretty decent, and I kind of like how it sits, on rubber tires:

Typical German attention to detail = lots of lenses:

Steering wheel looks correct (and crooked):

And a very plain box, with hard plastic protection:

All in all, a good representation of the way things were, and it is still photogenic today. NZG had a wide range of models at the time - I think they focus on heavy/commercial vehicles now.
