oldcarfan Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 I finished this one a few minutes ago. It's the Tamiya 993 chassis GT2 Road Version This kit and I have had our issues, (when a youtube tip says you can dry paint on a kit body in a very low oven, don't listen) but with a replacement body from Tamiya and a couple l times in the paint stripping tank, I got it done. The idea is of a stock used 911 that some maybe some shade tree mechanic got ahold of and modified as a fun track day street car. The paint is Tamiya Panzer grey and Valspar yellow and the wheels are a set of cast metal Panasports and wheels from Aoshima. The rear hood is a self cast Duck bill copy from a Fujimi kit. I used the stock seats and covered those and the door cards with plaid. It needs some weathering but right now, I'm just happy to be finished. Thoughts, tips and ideas of course welcome.
jchrisf Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 Looks good... an old friend of mine had one of these for a track car and this reminds me of it. Plus, I just built something similar so I am very familiar with this kit
afx Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 The burzel (duck tail) rear spoiler really changes the look. Good job.
PatW Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 That's great. We have a number of various cars here in the UK that are purpose built as daily driver/track day cars, well done with this 911!
