This is my second go at this kit and i am fairly pleased with the results. Paint is Tamiya TS-14 Gloss black with Tamiya LP-49 Semi clear top coat. Kit is mostly stock out of box with a few additions like seat belts and some extra carbon fibre. The Porsche 918 is a hybrid and uses three motors. The first is is a very light 4.6 litre V-8 that puts out 608 BHP. In the rear is an electric motor producing 156 extra HP. In the front is another rated at 129hp. The total is 887 HP. Its very fast. The Weissach package reduces the weight and includes suspension mods as well. Further details on this build are in the picture captions. Thanks for looking. The Spyder is as fast as it looks. Chrome wheels were sprayed with a couple coats of Tamiya smoke to help it match the black paint better. Thopse rear strips were all one piece of decal but laid down nice with few wrinkles. Rear veiw shows lots of detail. Engine cover was several pieces and a little tricky to decal and install, Rear wing is CF. Licence plate is out of extras. Side veiw with the carbon fibre top installed. The chassis went in fairly easy but bowed out in the middle and had to be pinned to thew body. Those two pins are just visible. Might paint em black. Chassis was very well detailed showing all three motors and suspension but "someone" neglected to take a picture. Not my best shot of the interior even though I took many shots with different settings. Interior was sprayed with three colors, a medium gray green, a slighty darker grey and semi black, Interior was very well detailed and I liked the carbon fibre touches included in the kit. Also lots of other decals to add detail. My original 918 build of the same kit. The white car used after-market decals and was chosen to match the many other Martini livery's in my collection. I have another black Martini car so the black one was a natural selectiond both kits.
