My surprise addition was that model of the pre-war Auto Union sports sedan built by Porsche in 2023. I’ve really been intrigued by the design since I saw a design concept picture of the car, but never expected one to be built in real life, let alone a 1/18 model of it! And they sold out rather quickly.
