During the race, car #23 had <a href=\"https:\/\/43dumans.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/06\/d13_013759_web.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">black tape<\/a> around the door and engine cowl. I think Minichamps used the car as it sits at Porsche&#8217;s museum as the base for their model. In fact, I have the impression that most of their models are based on the cars as they look today. Spark, on the other hand, replicated the model as it was on race day. And for me, at least, that&#8217;s a BIG plus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.w-143.com\/+upload\/+article\/pigspink_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\"\/><figcaption>Spark on the left, Minichamps on the right and Highspeed at the bottom.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of overall detail the Spark model has the edge, being it little more refined then the Minichamps. And as expected, the Highspeed version is much simpler. Nonetheless, it is NOT terrible &#8211; far from it, in fact. Therefore, it comes down to how much you want to spend and\/or how important the Pink Pig is to your collection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With my new Pink Pig from Spark, I was able to do this small comparo.
