Hi folks,

here's another one I built about a year ago. Fujimi curbside kit of the 800hp twin-turbo Testarossa by Koenig Specials, Munich, Germany.

Hope you like it.

Have to agree with you Dann.... There are very few body kits that look good on Porsche's.

Hi Dann, nice, glad for you that you got the 2 kits. I have them aswell, but in the old boxings from the late 80s/ early 90s.

In my Koenig department I also have the „beautiful“ 911, the 928 (we agree that this design on that one is much better!), the Testarossa in 1/16 scale and a resin transkit from C1 for converting the Revell Ferrari 308 GTB into a really beautiful Koenig version...

Koenig‘s design has always been a matter of taste (be that a good or a bad one). But after 3 decades or so after they haven been designed they have at least to be looked as cool, I think. 

Btw, you think the Koenig 911 is the most ugly around? I don‘t think so... The Gemballa Avalanche is even worse imho. Funny that ROG once did a kit of this based on the Fujimi EM series Porsche 930. :)

Sorry, bud, but ya, its the ONLY one I cant like......looks like an elephant sat on the front end. The Gamballa is horrible too.....looks VERY heavy and sloooooow,  lol

Gemballa Avalanche kit for the 911 should be killed with fire...it's horrible.

The work Koenig did on the 911 always reminds me of the 911 from 'Bachelor Party'...it just needs a flame paint job.

I've got a few of the Fujimi Koenig Kits (three 911s, one 928, the Mercedes 500 and I don't know how many Testarossas in 1/24 and 1/16) and the 911 doesn't look too bad if it's done in a color that is as over-the-top as the car itself...I'll have to hunt down the body I have sprayed in Testor's Purple-Licious that's just waiting to be polished.  It's purple, it's gaudy and it matches the car perfectly.

At least the Gemballa wouldn’t show it’s tail to the Koenig, only 395hp compared to the 550hp Biturbo Koenig. Speaking of which, the tail lights on the Koenig have been taken from the Audi 200! ?
