Default Got Given a Model - Any Good?

Evening! My old dear won a model in a raffle at her work and has given it to me.

It is made by Autoart and is of a Porsche 997 GT3 RSR the won LeMans GT2 in 2007, in 1:18 size.

It looks pretty sweet to be fair, but I've no idea about these things - is it considered to be any good?

It looks pretty cool but can't believe a model is worth Ł100!!

As long as you keep the box and they dont get broken, they hold there value well.

Yeh it's boxed and will keep it that way - I'm sure I remembered from antiques roadshow or something EVERYTHING is worth more in boxes

I really like it actually and can see me getting into this, next a Porsche 935 I think. Expensive hobby mind
