yeah, i've learned a lot through the process, thanks for the chart, it makes sense! One addition - nail polish - diluted with lacquer - doesn't like to stick to tamiya aerosol, it's a mechanical adhesion & chips off really easliy...

Hey Geoff, thank for the link, and this site has an extensive list of decal options. International shipping is extrme through, however, it might be my only shot. I was planning on printing my own decals. price difference: Patto's is £22 Print my own is £5, but would take a lot of effort! I always take a scan of my decals prior to doing a build, just in case I mess somehting up - then I can try to print some more - however, I've never tried to print them before... I'm sure that Pattos will be better than mine! I will try to peel off the exiting decals without damaging the paint. If that works, I might bite the bullet and buy from Pattos If the paint get damaged, I may respray for some decals I can get here. Regardless, the interior is back on the bench! Electronics are in & belts are getting added to the seat, just the frame and camera to add with a bit of cable tidying to do...

Hey, I was in Aachen in Germany, there is a company called E.go it's a fantastic facility, and like an experiment in advanced manufacturing processes. Very interesting trip, and the guys there were very open to sharing what they do...

Thanks Dann and Eric!

great looking pair of 911s!

it's going to look great! keep it coming...

Thanks for the comments Jim, Dann, Sonny & Curtis! It does look OK in the pics, but I guess in real life its a bit patchy, doesn't show in the pictures... Interior tub is done, this is OOB, no details at all, not even belts...! Just wated to get a kit completed!!!!

Thanks Dann, and it's been the best part of 6 months, in limbo with my pending house move, but I have managed to get a few coats of Zero grey, lots of sanding an fillng & finished with a few coats of tamiya white primer - current status is ready for finish paint - it's going to get done today hopefully, I will use tamiya Red aerosol as I have 2 cans of it lying around - those cans have been with my for about 7 years too!

Great build, and I like the colour, similar to a modern Ford performance blue...

Stunning!

Great looking build!

Great builds, keep 'email coming!

Beautiful build!

Same with me Dann, had packed away a lot of my modelling dtuff for a house move that didn't happen, i've unpacked it and made progress over the last month, but now we are going to move again, so it's all going to get repacked! welcome back to the bench "let's git 'em done"

looks like it sits high, but i guess the real ones do! great little build

great engine!

great finish on the paint, looks good as a road going car!

That would fit inside the engine bay for a NA car! Great build!

Fantastic build Safak! Always love your work...

Thanks all for your comments, I use Nouvos 3 compound. I used to use Tamiya, but the tubes dry up on me. I'll try the tamiya cotton bud method!

Polishing compound dries really hard, and fills the crevices I have historically used tooth-picks (sharpened) and a tooth brush. I've tried soaking in warm, soapy water & use a paint brush - but it does not work. EVERY TIME I end up scratching the polished surface - which was the reason for polishing in the first place... it can be an endless cycle.. so what do you guys do? thanks for tips...!

Engine, Chassis & interior are on their way... Other than spraying the body-shell, the worst part of this hobby is flocking. It never goes to plan... this is 2 coats of Hiroboy cream using Humbrol clear enamel as an adhesive. This is an old Tamiya kit, so it's not the best in terms of detail, however, it goes together really well, no real flash & ony minor sink hole defects to worry about....

It has been clear coated with Zero 2K the bootlid & spoiler came out perfectly! however, the body was riddled with pitting & dust. it also suffered from ripples. so, it's going to get polished! that will be happening ths weekend....

Masked & sprayed the silver bit in the Engine Bay

Thank's Domink! By-the-way - Guess where I was 2 weeks ago - here's some pics as a hint!
