Porsche Panamera Turbo

Here we go.

Porsche Panamera Turbo - Revell, 1:24, 07034

Funny thing is, that in good old Germany the kit as built model really rare to find is. For me as a Porschenut it was no question to get it and build it.

Whats to say? The body has a lot of sinkholes, sprues on the terribleset points...but the most of all badness was the plastic "in blue manufactured". i had a lot of trouble to get a light base coat without a shiny blue...i think about four or five layers of paint.  The work on its self was really easy like all new kits from Revell. Fitting and details are well made - excluded the wheelhouses, specially the stance. I glued the parts for the wheels at last (as always) to get a "right stance" in my view. While they put a RHD Dashboard in, i built it as a Japanese one. Also i glued the hood, because there is only an engine under a big plastic cover...thats the way it goes today in modern cars. All is hidden.

Painted out of the rattlecan, no clearcoat. I know, it could be better...but i'm very pleased and happy with the result.

Thanks for your attention. Commenat welcome as always

Hi,

This is very nicely done!

I was eye balling this kit, seems to have good engine detail in it based on the instruction sheet, does it?

[Dominik]

thank you Brian.

Yes it has a nice engine. The details from the kit are really good - it is a buy worth. defenly. I glued the hood, thats why i have no engine photos.

Brian, it has a decent engine, the issue is, that the top of the motor has a huge cover, like most modern cars now, especially European cars, so once built you cant see the motor at all. Much like the Revell AMG GT kit.

Dominik you did a great job man. You're 100% right about the sink holes. I couldnt believe had bad they were and where they were located. Revell made a mess of what really could have been a beautiful kit. It's still worth the build if you're a Porsche fan, but Revell definitely did a bad job on the design. 

I also agree on the choice of molding colour. I have no idea why companies are making kits "molded in colour" anymore. Snapper kits for the kids, sure that I get, but what really is a detailed glue kit aimed at the adult builder, mold the BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH things in a white or light grey. Black for chassis/wheels I get but bodies should be done in a light colour to allow people to paint them a lot easier. The AMG GT in yellow, another crappy base colour, the McLaren 570S orange, another bad choice, and this metallic blue was bad as well. I did mine in a Porsche metallic blue so I was ok, but I can only image how hard it was to cover up that blue with white. Nice work Dominik.

Looks good.  The Panamera is not my favourite Porsche from a style point of view but inside they are really nice.  A bit disappointing about the sink holes on a modern kit though.

I don't even like these cars but your model is really nicely done.
