  1. Would have been nice if AMT had added metal transfers for the emblems and scripts, but maybe the aftermarket will take care of that.
  2. And even more info that you've been so anxiously awaiting... Official info and pics from Revell: https://www.revell.de/en/products/model-building/cars/modern-cars/id/07034.html
  3. And some more. In one of these photos, you can see Revell attempted to replicate the panoramic glass roof on the underside of the roof.. Also, while this is a test model, looks like that body is really going to need a lot of prep to smooth out the mold lines, surface waviness, and deepen panel lines. https://www.modellbauseite.at/forum/plastikmodellbau-bausatzbesprechungen/pkw-ab/pkw-1-24-aa/8058-porsche-panamera-turbo-revell-m-1-24-art-nr-07034-0379
  4. More test shot pics, including the decals. http://www.pmc-riesa.de/pmcblog/testshot-revell-porsche-panamera-turbo-124/
  5. Nice job!
  6. Thanks for the photos! Looks nicely detailed overall, and I'm glad they kitted the top-end turbo model. I just wish they had recreated the panoramic glass roof option so that you could show off the interior. Plamoz is creating a detail set, which I believe will offer scripts that allow you to create a turbo version or a turbo S e-hybrid version.
  7. Nice! Working on a couple of these myself. FYI, the front and rear window trim molding is weak, and its a pain to scribe around the windows due to the curved surfaces.
  8. I'm happy with a Panamera, but I am surprised the 991-range of Porsches hasn't been kitted. I'm not exactly sure how the licensing works, but I feel they could have sold a lot of kits with all the different variations. Couple more things: 1) Revell rushes to announce a kit, such as the AMG GT, and they miss out on more exciting versions, like the AMG GTR. 2) Tamiya needs to produce a 1/24 Singer Porsche!
  9. I picked up the hobby from my dad, and I'm generally only interested in exotics and contemporary road cars, and I'm 39.
  10. Agreed. I've thought about getting the Lusso and the SWB, but I've never really worked with white metal. Also, I don't think MFH's chrome work is the best, and don't feel like spending additional hours tweaking and hundreds of $ to have parts re-chromed to my standards.
  11. This isn't a new kit, right? It's another version of previously existing MFH SWBs.
  12. I'm doubtful. Look how long it took to get TS-13 (gloss) back. And you can no longer get their relatively new Pink Surfacer in the States anymore.
  13. Mike - maybe you can reach out to him and tell him that quite a few people haven't received responses?? Maybe its a technical issue - like our emails are going are getting caught in spam filters?
  14. Agreed. beautiful job! I'm interested in getting the '63 to build the getaway car from My Cousin Vinny! I'll need a '64 Skylark as well haha.
  15. Ditto!
  16. Nice job! Digging the color combo.
  17. Nice work! Very clean build. I have the Studio27 decals too. Any issues with them? If I were to offer one criticism, its directed towards Gravity Colors, not you. Maybe it just doesn't show from the photos, but its hard to tell that its a tri-coat paint. It seems to lack depth. I note that their Novella Blue is the same...not only does it lack depth, its too dark of a shade.
  18. Very nice, clean job! I like the colors too.
  19. Looking good, though one suggestion: I would have glued the front and rear valences on and filled and sanded the joint lines before priming and painting.
  20. That's quite a bit of shrinkage! You should let Plamoz's proprietor know. Maybe there's a way he can fix for future kits. Looking forward to more!
  21. Does Jameston respond to emails anymore and has anyone talked to him recently? He used to be so good at responding, but hasn't responded to 3 of my emails sent over the past 6 months inquiring about a color.
  22. Thanks for the update. Hopefully Aoshima does keep up the pace with exciting kits. After all the Lambos and the Pagani, it seems that their focus currently is on Japanese-centric stuff.
  23. Looks awesome!
  24. Love the color!
