High-quality Porsche 550 Spyder repop being happy, going to get pizza.

I have long lusted after a  550 Spyder in my garage.  Maybe if I buy 2 lottery tickets this time.

Love that car.

Would this kit work for a replica?

Now I see the grill spacing, and fairing are different, so never mind.

There were a lot of running variations on 550s from car to car, and the Fernando Pinto model is most likely better in most ways than the slush-cast, warped, too-narrow-tail Flintstone kit I have. The Flintstone model has the decklid vents closer together, and has the fairing, but it also has a bulge on the deck that's not common on the real ones, and that I've never seen on a repop.

Getting a good representation of a particular 550 (or replica) will take extra work no matter what you start with...but thanks for posting the Pinto kit. I didn't know it existed.

Welcome!  I'm looking at getting one of his Auto Union race cars.   Thought I was done buying models.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Now I'm off on the hunt for his 550.
