I could use another 911!

Silly question I suppose, but does anyone make an equivalent to the two-part Bondo in smaller hobby sized quantities?

So yesterday I fell to temptation and ordered a set of Magnus Walker 277 decals from China. Now the question; which Porsche 911 kit comes closest to matching his car? I'm guessing it's going to be a Fujimi, but any guidance to which in particular and preferably is there another manufacturer that has one? Has anyone attempted this build?

I finally got time to do a little on my Cannonball entry. The decalling made me not want to touch it for a while, but I got that done. I've been working 60 hour weeks for the last few months plus an hour commute each way so I've been mostly laying around on the weekends. However, I have done a little more and I've worked a few hours on other projects. Then last week we went on vacation and did a Mini-Cannonball, 3890 miles in 7 1/2 days. We went from Austin to San Francisco and back with stops in Reno, Lake Tahoe, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon and Roswell. At least I brought the appropriate reading material!

Do you have a build thread on this one?

Looks great! Are you going to sell copies of those wheels? LOL

I envy your skills, it looks great!

My local Hobbytown has one of these, I may have to go and get it!

I bought his 6BT Cummins engine, decent quality and arrived quickly!

I really need to order that kit from R&M!

I've heard these and the Chaparral molds still exist. I Maybe the Xerex Special and all the other Can Am car molds are still around somewhere. I could sure do with a series of reissues.

I'll get another of the Trans Am to do a Rockford conversion. I really hope they will decide to do an Esprit or Formula version someday. They had those parts in the kit back around 1974 or so. Maybe the molds are still around. Speaking of that, how about backdating it to the 1976 version just for variety?

I grew up hating these cars, but I love this model. Good job!

Beautifull!

Excellent work!

This looks great! Love the wheels, too.

This is a great kit. I really wish they would reissue it!

Does Patto's Place make the correct decals? Their site is kind of hard to navigate, but they have a lot of decals.

Nice project. Can you use the wheels and tires off the Tamiya early VW or maybe the Hasegawa VW vans? I have several of the 1970s issue Revell 911s. They come with those wide two piece tires and I found out that some of the Pegasus lowrider tires fit the Revell wheels and are much closer to the correct stock Porsche tires.

It's hard to say without seeing it in person, but the mid-70s MPC Pro-Stock kits had some slicks that seemed about right when I used them years ago. You might also troll eBay. Sometimes I come across people on there selling bundles of drag parts and you might try that.

That's a beauty!

I've had luck with sanding the existing paint to get rid of orange peel and rough it up a bit and then wiping it down with degreaser. After that, I shot the new paint and it worked with no problems.

It would be an awesome shop truck!

Nice job. My son bought one just like this last year, same color and everything. He said he wanted an old classic to fix up.

It's looking good. Nice color!
