Fujimi Frankenstein Porsche 911 S/T

[timomomomo]

After a year of building plastic Ferrari kits I've jumped into the Fujimi 911 Enthusiast Series. The interesting thing about the series is that Fujimi could have squeezed out more road/racing versions of the 911 with little die modification, and mixing and matching of parts. So my first Fujimi 911 build is a 911 St, a kit that does not exist. The 911 ST was an options package intended for customer racing in '71 and '72, and featured flared wheel arches to accommodate a wider track.

I combined the Fujimi Enthusiast Series 1967 911R bumpers, front headlights, hood, engine and interior with the Fujimi Enthusiast Series 1985 911 Turbo body and glass. The flared wheel arches on the Turbo body were tapered down to fit the smaller bumpers and where they meet the rocker panel. The chamfer was sanded from the flares, pinstriping and 911R decals added to the body, and Scale Production 15" Minilite wheels exchanged or the Fuchs wheels packaged with the kit, all to enhance authenticity. Car is painted Bright Yellow. Far from my best work and I have some touchup to finish, but the build made available what was not in kit form.

Very nice Tim.  I built the Tour de France 911ST a few years back by mixing and matching parts like you did.  DMC used to offer the decals but I think they have been discontinued.
