Jaegermeister. Jagermeifter. Jagermeister. However you want to spell it, those who know, know. For the sake of this blog, I will refer to it as the Jaegermeister.
RWB, on the other hand, or Rauh-Welt Begriff, is a Japanese tuning company specialising in older, classic Porsches. Most people probably already know Akira Nakai, the founder-owner of RWB. And most people probably already know or have heard of RWB. RWB Porsches are primarily recognised for their wide and wild body kits. Underneath that hand-crafted exterior is a properly modified Porsche with performance upgrades on all fronts (i.e., power and handling).
There wasn’t a lot of information on this RWB 993 except that it was one of Akira Nakai’s own. Porsche model cars are a dime a dozen. And there are a lot of good ones out there, even from mainstream brands like Hot Wheels. And while Hot Wheels has also released some RWB Porsches, those don’t really come close to something such as this one from Tarmac Works. This model is chock full of details such as a bunch of carbon fibre canards and a two-stage rear wing. Mufflers can clearly be seen at the back, and you will swear that the wide body kit has been riveted onto the body. Wheels are accurate, and let’s not forget the fact that they are deep-dish wheels at that. The tires have treads! I’m not entirely sure how accurate the decals are, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they were exactly the same as that on the 1:1 car. It’s nice to see the headlights and taillights as separate pieces from the body. The paint on this model is very, very good, if not excellent. And despite those details, it rolls! You won’t be racing this thing on an orange race track, but at least you can roll it on your desk. A diorama mat is recommended, though, for a smoother experience.
It is obviously not in the same price point as a Hot Wheels car, nor a Tomica. These model cars may not be that expensive, but they certainly aren’t cheap. I think that they are decently priced for what they are. And if you wanted more detail, you’d better be ready to shell out for a bigger scale than 1:64. I have had some Tarmac Works models before, and they do have tiers for their model cars. I will get back to you guys on the tiering soon, but this particular RWB sits under the Tarmac Works banner. And, yes, it is more of a collector piece.
