Product Information

Full details

The AUTOart 1/18 scale Porsche 911 Turbo Blackbird (78158) is designed for serious automotive enthusiasts and fans of the cult-classic Wangan Midnight comic series. It offers an exceptional level of realism and faithful aesthetic representation of Tatsuya Shima's legendary vehicle, though it serves primarily as a static display piece rather than a toy, requiring careful handling to preserve its intricate finish.

Troubleshooting

Visible dust buildup on exterior

Use a dry, soft-bristled brush or a high-quality microfiber lens cloth to gently lift dust particles.

Loose parts during inspection

Contact a professional hobby shop for model-grade adhesive; do not use standard super glue as it may cloud the paint finish.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your AUTOart Porsche, display the model in a dust-free, UV-protected glass cabinet. Avoid placing the model in direct sunlight, as this can degrade the paint quality over time. When handling, always grip the model by the chassis rather than fragile trim pieces like side mirrors or spoilers. To clean, use a gentle micro-fiber cloth to wipe away dust; avoid all chemical solvents or household cleaners, as these can strip the factory finish.
