Sweet build here, great detail and skill, it's going to be a sharp model when it's finished

That patina is looking accurate to the original, but why is it called a styleside?

It sure is a lovely purple, but the livery you see in one of the images has no purple! Looks like a really intricate body shell for sanding to smooth out the orange peel. Good luck!

Looks like a great kit, and your build is coming along nicely. I like the oil stain look you have given the engine, I'm guessing it's just clear yellow wash?

Masked the main body for the black bits front and back, and prayed with Tamiya X-18

This is the engine hood after peeling back all the masking tape, turned out quite alright!

Yeah a meant the trim, but also the other black bits on the body shell, i've been struggling with this kit, lots of areas to mask!

Hey Sonny, I have a hobby room in the house, and can spray indoors and vent the room, and also moved to Danbury! it is sprayed now, so i'll post pics in a minute.

All really sharp details! the clear coat is fantastic

Maybe injection gates is the term you're looking for? Looks great so far! Sharp sraying and building! The paint issues may have to do with mixing types of paint, isn't AK an acrylic primer?

Sounds like you want a challenge Randy!

Love seeing this come together, looks great so far!

Here's the masking just for the engine hood... I'm going to loose my nut doing this

Cliff, I was going to ask how you did the black bits on the body, looks like you painted black first then masked to do the body colour. I'm really struggling to do it the other way around...

Thanks for the interest guys, and some great builds and mods there!

That's looking great, an aggressive Camero!

This was primed, filled, sanded, primed, with Zero microfiller & Tamiya putty. Then a few coats of Tamiya white primer from a spray can Then Tamiya Red from the spray can Followed by several light coats of Tamiya gloss from a spray can. This is my first time using Tamiya Sprays ILO an airbrush. It required a lot of sanding (high grades only) and polishing. Its still scratchy, not shiny, but shiny enough for me (my perfectionist days are long over. Now the finicky bit of masking and painting black bits on the body, this is going to take some time!

Thanks Sonny, Dennis & David! It took me ages to mould a new front windscreen to fit the curvature required, about 8 attempts by heating up clear plastic from choclate packaging with candles, mostly melted or scorched. Finally got one close enough to build with & this is the final result (after a lot of white PVA glue to hold the glass in place. Next up will be finished piccies.

So this one is nearly done, only got to add the final 10 decals and it'll be in the finished section...

Dash is amazing!

Paint work is truly amazing!

Outstanding build, one of my favourite cars ever, the clear coat came out really nice.

Cool car, expertly built!

Superb build, worth the hours!

A lovely pair of porsches!
