IJ001 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Yep. another completed, but to be fair it was started long before the 350Z that I posted here a couple of weeks ago. So straight to the point, this is another Tamiya kit, and it is as ever superbly engineered, and fits just about perfectly. The BIG thing for this project however was the excellent Tamiya plastic - this is the 'Taisan' boxing and it's molded entirely in glossy black !! - so I'll let y'all guess how many primer coats it took before applying the glossy white top coats. Decals are by Scale Design, no I've not heard of them either but they're the best part of twenty years old and behaved flawlessly. As ever thanks for taking the time to look and / or comment, please ask any question or hurl any criticism. Not sure what's next, will see what calls to me from the stash when I go in to the cave next week. AFN Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jchrisf Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Great job Ian! I love it. Glad to hear it is a kit that fits together nicely since I am new to the hobby and have this kit... I might have to make it my next one I need to start knocking them out as quickly as you just to get a lot more experience under my belt (as we say here in the states). I think I have discovered the key is spray lacquer paints because painting has been my biggest hurdle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IJ001 Posted June 6, 2018 Author Share Posted June 6, 2018 Thanks guys, really appreciate the kind comments and never take them for granted. Have to admit being on a bit of a 911 kick just now. Alongside this GT2, there's a GT1 that you may recall from last year, plus hitting the bench later this year: A Fujimi GT3 and a new RoG 934, and to round-out the team, a Tamiya '88 Turbo road car. Hey, would be cool if we could start a 911 gallery somewhere here at MCM. - unless there already is one (?).. what do you guys think ? Ian.

I almost bought this one recently but never liked the looks of it in any of the pictures I could find... however, yours looks good. Much better than the others I googled. I may have to reconsider.
