Been on a binge lately sorting parts inot paint bags. Came across this kit and discovered the body hadn't been painted. It was molded in yellow. A couple applications of Tamiya LP-7 pure red later and I decided to finish this one as the paint turned out nice. It was all downhill from there. This is no walk in the part, lots of fit problems, especially in the engine. In tghe end it turned out nice enough to go in the case. See captions below the photos for more details. Completed engine on the stand provided in the kit. Exhaust and turbo chargers were all guess work at this point. Photo etch on the intercooler was out of the part bin. Interior went without a hitch. Gotta fix that steering wheel decal. Black accents in the seats thanks to Tamiya black panel liner. Good stuff. Body and chassis ready to be mated. We call this..."the moment of truth" and hope all that fitting paid off. Engine nestled in the chassis. Intercoolers provided the most headache. I knew they were too high as soon as the body went on. Lowering them proved to be a challenge. Finished car. This was actually done about 10days ago and it spent some time at my local hobby shop. Pictures wern't good enough then. Rear view. Luv the body lines of this car. It looks like a 308 on steroids and it sorta is. I added the script on the rear engine cover. Getting the head lights to function was a real treat. I don't usually do this but it looked like fun...it wasn't. Hope you like this...comments welcome.

This is my Fujimi Enthusiast Porsche 911 Turbo. Its totally detailed, and since NONE of these Enthusiast Porsches has hinges for their hoods, I had to SB my own.
