Jonathan Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Merde Brun Metallik Could start a thing with applique corn kernels applied artistically. LOL - like the "Buick" "port holes" I see all over the place around town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZTony8 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Brown would be my turd choice for a color for the kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Creative Explorer Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 The Revell guy at Telford was pretty cagey about the contents. It doesn't have an engine, and the suspension is likely simplified. It's described as a "Skill 3" and has less than 100 parts. (Mind you, the 570s is also a skill 3, and has many more parts, and the Corvette C.7R has substantially less than 100 but builds up into a nice model in the right hands...)Â The build on show was a mule (maybe even a diecast) so I couldn't look any closer. But no, I can't get very excited about it. It's not really an "aspirational" car in real life, is it...? Just good at what it does. Someone should really be doing deals for a DB11 or Valkyrie, if you ask me...best,M.I can confirm it does come with a full engine, once assembled you don't see much, but yes, there is a complete engine. and it does look pretty nice.

BVC500 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 (edited) Thanks for the photos!  Looks nicely detailed overall, and I'm glad they kitted the top-end turbo model. I just wish they had recreated the panoramic glass roof option so that you could show off the interior.Plamoz is creating a detail set, which I believe will offer scripts that allow you to create a turbo version or a turbo S e-hybrid version.

Fair enough... you'd wish that their own sales team would be briefed, though! Even with an engine, it's struggling to engage my interest... best, M.

The Junkman Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Those Calif plate decals on the test shot page: Comic Sans Font? Really? Also the plates beginning with "2" would have been issued about 1988-89. Euro plates look cooler anyway.

BVC500 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 (edited) And some more. In one of these photos, you can see Revell attempted to replicate the panoramic glass roof on the underside of the roof.. Also, while this is a test model, looks like that body is really going to need a lot of prep to smooth out the mold lines, surface waviness, and deepen panel lines. https://www.modellbauseite.at/forum/plastikmodellbau-bausatzbesprechungen/pkw-ab/pkw-1-24-aa/8058-porsche-panamera-turbo-revell-m-1-24-art-nr-07034-0379 Edited December 2, 2017 by BVC500 corrected link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they cost-reduced a panoramic roof from the clear tree. The other comments on the body are basically SOP for Revell Germany kits. They always seem to require more finishing work in the primer stage than almost any other modern kit; sloppy mold lines, wavy surfaces, inconsistent panel lines, sink marks...you feel you've really "made it" by the time you shoot color on it. Perhaps this is also why they chose a solid roof panel. Again...really wish this was the Sport Turismo...to my eyes it's by far the best looking Panamera. Revell GmbH doesn't seem to operate like Revell USA or other companies by making variations of a basic kit, it's usually one and done with them, or both (like the VW Golf) intro'd basically at the same time.

Faust Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I guess I must be one of very few people in the world, but I don't like Porsches at all. I don't like their styling, I'm not a two-seater fan and I think their SUVs are ugly as sin. It seems to me there are a billion and one Porsche kits out there, so I'm surprised the particular model that some people want doesn't already exist. I completely pass over any and all Porsche kits with a shake of my head, wondering why anyone cares, or perhaps, why I don't. I am such a non-fan of their styling, that I would literally not take one as a lottery prize. I would trade it for cash or sell it. I like power sedans, 4-doors, big motors and the ability to go fast while hauling my family and a trunkful of stuff. That's why I love my G8, as well as Chargers and, to a degree, 300s. HOWEVER... I absolutely LOVE the Panamera. No one, and I mean no one else I talk to likes it. I think it is by far the MOST beautiful Porsche product ever designed, especially with a small rear spoiler. It adds mass, strength, purpose and maturity to a styling trend that always seems to produce what, to me, look like melting ice sculptures of snake heads. Extending the body, adding those two extra doors... absolute perfection. It is the ONLY Porsche I would ever consider paying for. I even looked into one once. I saw the price and stopped right away, of course! So, I for one am SUPER STOKED to see a Panamera kit. I don't like the Sport Turismo (or whatever the wagon is called) anywhere near as much. This release is exactly like Revell Germany read my mind. I couldn't be happier. If it's as nicely detailed as their Trabant, I'll be ecstatic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Smith Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 (edited) Looks like a decent kit. Not an area of my interest but any new tooling is good to see. Full engine detail is great although it looks a little soft on details - lots molded in. Overall, the car’s appearance is pretty basic and boring. Add a Honda badge to the back, and voila!!!

The Creative Explorer Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 It got released today, I just received a review example from Revell A.G. From the first look on the production-release; it looks better than the testshot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nudel Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I got my Revell Panamera on Friday. Overall a nice kit, but with some issues: - Sinkmarks on the rear and a grubby mold overall - you have to sand and prime a lot - Its high as a SUV, you have to lower the suspension, especially on the rear - Chassis with very low detail In opposite, the interior looks nice and is very well detailed Rims and tires are more or less o.k., better than in the past - but I hope Plamoz will make new rims, especially the 21" versions. Sorry for my english and kind regards from Germany, Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
