I had to get this, because, despite it was a link I didn't had in my Porsche model cars chain, I couldn't had pass the chance to pay $5...yes, $5 for this open box, but, complete Tamiya Boxster at the last 2009 GSL. Thanks for your kinds comments about the model. Simón P. Rivera Torres

Thanks for your comments, easy, I accept that, is your point of view and I respect that. Yes, the pillar is broken, so much people had ask about and the reason is that after the model was completely finished, when I was waxing it the accident happened. I was so satisfied with the shiny look that even despite the accident I wouldn't take the risk to try to fix it and do a worst job. Simón P. Rivera Torres

This is a model that I had in my mind to do from the date it was issued about 10 years ago and me, being almost a Porsche model mar builder knew that I was missed this one from my chain. Another thing made me to build this one was that this is first Tamiya model since year 2001. I remember I was finishing the GT-3 the same day of the 9/11 in NY. From that date I was feeling kind of weird, because, almost everyone here and in the model cars community build a Tamiya from time to time. For this one I used Gunze Sangyo's Cobalt Blue toped with Modeler's Super Clear. I'm so sorry this clear is now Out of Production from what I heard. Anyone that has better info, please, tell me I'm wrong..please! The exhaust system was weathered with pastels. So,..here's my OOB boxster! Simón P. Rivera Torres

simonr replied to philo426's topic in Model Cars
With all the goodies we have today for Ferrari models, strip the paint, give it a good paint job and get one of those great Boranni wheels like the Model Factory Hiro's and you will see you had a beast undercovered! Simón -

Nice project...a question: Who makes that light blue? Simón
-
Yes I did, the problem it's the same every where, they're asking for the code and, since it's a very old color(more than 40 years old), it has been real hard to get it. Thanks for your help anyway, I will keep trying. Simón P. Rivera Torres

Oh yes, it is indeed! Thanks for your help. Simón

Fujimi Ferrari 330 race car- a curbside?
simonr replied to elan's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
This is mine, the Union's 330 P4. Considering it's an almost 40 years old mold I guess it does a pretty decent model. I my personal opinion that i had built both the 917k and this 330, the 330 is much better model than the 917k, both model, high tech models in their era. Simón P. Rivera Torres -
