Porsche 911 Targa

[Scalper]

This is my next Porsche on the bench. Testors/Fujimi 911 targa. 

I think it looks pretty good gold. So I will paint it gold but this time I think I'll purchase tamiya gold. The testors gold was not the best to work with.

Can't wait man, Targa is my favorite 911 body style

You will bang this out of the park just like the Blue Jays

Thanks.  Never was to fond of the targas but the box cover with it painted gold. Got my attention. I think it looks really good on that colour.

In White Gold, it reminds me of this car. I used to work for Porsche, and this was one of my favs to take out. 1987 911 Cabrio.

Nice work so far.

I'll second the kudos on the lettering. It really makes those parts much more interesting. 

[Scalper]

Thanks guys. I have do redo one side of the lettering. Looks messy and do my touch ups on some parts.

Ok guys.  I need help.  As you can see in my last pic. My windshield frame at the top is cracked. I tried using testors glue to fix it but it keeps coming apart again and not keeping it's shape. Now I am hoping that when I put  the windshield in it will take shape.  But any advise on how to keep the frame together?

 

alk advise will be considered. Thank you for your support.
