    Congratulations on a great Aquisition. They are two of my personal favorites as I have about (5) Porsche 963s. It is so cool to see them in 1/18 scale. All of the great work put into making these replicas stand out so much more. As my 1/43 scale cars are Dealership Editions and have to be distributed in both Europe and North America mine are out 1,500 produced and like your Heartz, exact serial numbers are not given.
    You can imagine my excitement when I got on TH-cam and saw your review. At first, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. I got out my two cars to see how they compare. Quite close, nothing missing including the exhaust of which I had overlooked. The tail pipes look much better in 1/18 as well as the cabin hinges and aerials. Great review as always and congratulations again.
    PS: my 2nd to next will be the Penske Porsches as I have not reviewed them yet. I was taking pictures of them at Sebring 2023. The Penske people kicked me out of scrutineering. I felt bad and understood as thew were new.
    Some manufactures like Toyota and Peugeot compete in the WEC for greater reach globally, than in IMSA. Peugeot do virtually nothing in North America. Plus, all entries in the WEC get automatic entry into Le Mans. Porsche, Cadillacs and Lamborghini for example do both. Lamborghini will not do WEC in 2025 because of the requirement of factory entries to field two cars. Not in their budget. Good news is that we in the US will them at all of the distance events.
    In regard to the subtle differences, all in 1/43 scale (5) have the tunnel bridge The Penske Porsche and the JDC Miller cars have a black tunnel bridge of which looks different but are not. As the JDC Miller and the Team Jota cars are identical in all ways to the factory Porsches. In regard to the air jack inlet, wow. You made me look at all five of mine and only the Team Jota model seam to lack it. Great observation. Again, thanks for the great review, you made me look even deeper than had though to.

      Hey you encouraged me to get them! You asked in a comment and literally they were on sale the next day or two later so I grabbed them. Happy I did and I had just seen them in Austin over Labor Day so more of a connection having seen them race.
      I need to do a Penske review but have a few others I need to get out first. Was happy to break the Vintage Ferrari F1 streak. I am sure it bores people so I have plotting my next few videos to mix it up.
      I saw Lambo was out after just one season. I really don't understand why the WEC and IMSA are not all together even though the new regs were supposed to make that possible.
      On the modesl I think the WEC cars and the IMSA cars must be those differences I tried to highlight. I would need another IMSA version to validate that though.

    Watched your video for the 3rd time, it's nice to be retired and on a very cold day in Virginia. In regard the air tunnel, you are correct in the longer tunnel on the JDC Miller car of which is identical to the Penske Porches. Was quite shocked at that difference. I was wrong about the air jack inlet on the Hertz model. Mine does have one on the fuel input side. It is outlined in red.

      Hahaha nice! I would miss alot of details at 1/43 scale...1/18th way easier to spot.

      That would be awesome. I admit I am a Ferrari guy but for my collections sake I would like to see another team win. Was really hoping the Yellow Customer team would have won this past year. A Porsche would be nice to see so here's to hoping!

    They look good, the website is confusing to navigate, do they ship to the U.S ?

      they are nice models. CK Model Cars will ship to the US. Its sort of a fixed rate based on sale value. So its something like 49euro for purchases up to 1000euro. Then 1001euro and above the shipping doubles. So for me I order in bulk. They ship DHL to the US. Can be slow and if it is two boxes they often arrive days or up to a week apart. That said its one of my go to spots. Prices online include VAT so once you log in and select US for shipping you will see prices without VAT. So you really need to order more than one car to feel good about shipping costs. That goes for most European sellers. Typically, I wait until I find 4 models to order. It is why I have not purchased the few 2024 cars out yet. Waiting on enough to justify the shipping.
      In terms of the website. I just go to Overall on the left side margin. Then filter by 1:18 or by Manufacturer.
