Martini Porsche 911GT3R

[Rich Chernosky]

 This is a Fujimi Porsche 911GT3R. This is the car Sebastion Loeb (the rally driver) drove  in the Porsche Carrera Cup in 2013. Decals are from Studio 27 . The red had to be carefully matched to the decals and the sides are all painted on. The wing was matched to the darker blue. Overall this was a nice kit to do despite some of the fussy details. And it goes in quite nicely with my extensive Martini collection.

One of the fussiest details was painting the clear red and blue on the center caps of the wheels. 

Those decals are 5 seperate pieces per side and didn't go on without a fight. Some Future varnish help hide a lot of the tiny wrinkles. 

The wheels steer in the kit but they fit in the wheel wells so tight, that they barely steer. Tires and brakes were nice.

Beautiful job Rich!  Love the Martini livery too.  Will look great with all the other Martini cars.

Thanks Dave,  the Shadow is not far from my mind. But Martini cars are my favorite and when i get one they usually take precedence.

Very nice! Any time you take on a Martini livery you're going to expect a lot of work with decals but I guess you know that.

Thanks...I have always felt doing decals was an artform all to itself.

I'm a fan of the Martini livery myself and have a few built and un-built models in the collection but no where need 40+.
