Thanks Ash! Interior in, skull white aerosol & Tamiya X-18 airbrush...

Engine complete and mounted

Chassis was primed with a water based primer (which is a bit gloopy and difficult to airbrush) then masked and finished with good old Tamiya X-18

The wheels were stripped, and sprayed with Alclad II, not many coats of chrome, to give it a dull or dark look.

Really simple kit, and goes together nicely. Stripped most of the chrome parts, shown here is the wheels stripped ready for airbrushing. Shown also is the gear gate & gear stick. Both stripped, then primed, base coat was alclad II black & alclad II chrome to finish. The interior was sprayed with alclad black base & aluminium to finish, but it textured up due to the vortexes when airbrushing into corners, this always happens to me in interior tubs - especially the grey primer. I was going to cut holes in the sides of the tub, and add a pull chord door opener - like the reference photos, but couldn't be bothered in the end. Seats are basic, but finished, wanted to add seat belts, but again, just wanted to finish this bad boy...

Paint job is sweet...

Agree with the paint job - looks great!

Hot build, and it's going together really well. I know how you feel about all the pain of adding extra detail - only to find it's completely hidden in the finished model.

What happens if it meets a speed bump? Like the clean build, and love the wheels...

Different colour, but excellent build, another one I'm too scared to start...

great build of a really detailed model, I have one in the stash, not got the nuts to start it! well done!

Really clean & tidy build, love the wheels...

Now that's a paint job to turn heads, great build!

Neat build, much better than my attempt, lets see your engine!

Thanls for the info Mr Aussie!

Looks great to me! how did you finish the paint work - what clear & polish system did you use?

Love this car, and a great build of it!

I started this build for a Group Build for the 50 years anniversary of the 911. It still hasn't been finished. So I thought I'd add the history here and pick it back up... Starting with box art & sprues:

The Chassis is really simple and basic. primed with Alclad primer, and Tamiya SGBlack Masked with tape & silly putty & sprayed with alclad II aluminium

For the body, I cut out the areas that I'll replace with PE grills, primed, sanded a few times to remove defects

A work of art, and love!

That's a beast! Love it, thanks for sharing...

Great build, i like the red detailing in the interior, and the wash in the engine looks great - what did you use for that?

Fantastic high quality build!

Great looking kit & wonderfully finished... bet the transkit was costly!
