JasonC Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Got this done, i wanted to do something different. It's not perfect, but i'm fairly happy. The rear diffuser should be body color, i found that out after i finished it.. Here's a rundown of what all is done; color is a GM duplicolor (don't know name) It did crack in a few places. engine out of a late model GTO rear suspension is Subaru WRX wheels from INITIAL D FD3S Mazda RX7 exhaust is solder and muffers from 69 Plymouth GTX Pictures are a little dark since the sun wasn't out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Jon Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) Cool idea, I like the colors! Edited May 18, 2013 by Jeremy Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertw Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Sharp build of a seldom modelled car. I like the choice of color. I built the Italeri model of the 944 Cabrio earlier this year so I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one to build a model of this sports car.

IMSANUT Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 also like the color, but owning a 1:1 1983 944, the motor and suspension is blasphemous..... I've worked on and off combining the US bumpers from a Monogram 924 to the Testors Italeri kit to replicate my ride. Finding cookie cutter wheels was the big draw back and hold up. I finally did locate a Revell 911 kit that had them. Now, I have to finish mine. White over black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilrathy10 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 (edited) Good looking ride, Man....I like the way you photographed it, too....It always makes for a much better looking model....And I really like the engine...It looks right at home, in there...

Foxer Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 That color looks really good on a 944. With all that weight shift, including the loss of the transaxle, the excellent handling of this car must be like an eel now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The handling of the car in normal for is more like a train on rails... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
