    Porsche 944 track-to-road conversion

    in WIP: Model Cars

    Posted

    This is a great kit, and you’re doing a fine job. Despite your problems, the red finish looks great and looks just like Guards Red to me. I prefer using pink primer for red cars, as I have had the exact same problem in the past. 
    I used to own a 1:1 of these about 15 years ago. They hit rock bottom prices back then. At that time I picked up a few Hasegawa kits, and the Revell kit (which is the same tool as the Hasegawa). The Italeri kit is a different tool. Hasegawa also make a 968 Porsche (which is the later version of the 944), and many parts are interchangeable. I intend on building a 944, with 968 wheels as a replica of my 1:1 car some day. 
    One thing I learned from the 944 community at the time, was that the non-sunroof cars were preferred as track cars. If you are building as a track car, then you have the best kit to begin with, but if you’re building a street version you can ‘pinch’ the rear seat from Hasegawa or Revell kit.

    Liberty Walk Lamborghini Huracan

    I saw a 1:1 Liberty Walk Aventador at the Goodwood Festival in the summer 2022. That was a truly awesome car to see in the flesh.
    I had assumed that the Aoshima Huracan kit would be their full detail kit with add on parts, so I’m surprised to see it’s a snap kit. The coloured body shell looks pretty good. I hope you can still use those PE grills despite the plastic thickness. Looking forward to seeing your progress.
