I know I need to branch out, but after a long time of not finishing anything, I got started on these kits. This one I finished a few minutes ago. It's another of the Monogram Porsche curbsides which is my favorite kit of all time. This time it is the RSR. I've been trying to do some brighter stuff so the paint is Testor's Mopar GreenGo. I like building these up as the hot rods I would build if I had the money. I removed the molded in seats and added the racing buckets from the MPC Pinto wagon. The wheels are from the partsbox. I heard we were going to have rain this weekend so I hurriedly painted it and luckily beat the showers. I removed the molded in mesh on the front spoiler and made custom headlights out of modified rhinestones.So anyway here it is, any suggestions cheerfully accepted.

Agree, nice looking build. 

Mirrors are optional when you drive a car that bright. Lol

Those kits are well done, for curbsides.  I built a few when they were new models.  I like the bright paint, the original colors were subdued.  And the really important part, you finished it!  (I have two Porsches waiting for me to finish).

"Porsche" or "Carrera" decals down the side might look nice.  Regardless nice build.

I never met him and yet I miss Harry! This kit doesn't come with any and I can only find one that looks decent. I'm actually planning on trying to cast it this weekend.

I've got a set of those decals somewhere. I'm rearranging things and hoping I'll come across them. I think the decals make two cars.
