Porsche 911 Turbo Coupe Flatnose (Tamiya, #24070, 1/24)

I built that in 1987 and was painted couple years later in white metallic. Last year i stripped it and overhauled it. the first time i used nail paint - it is awesome!

Not my favorite porches ( I prefer the round head lights)  but I love what you have done with it . Beautiful color and finish. Great build Dominik, as usual. The color sure looks beautiful. and glossy.

The finish looks great as does the trim. Wonder what color this will be the next time you post photos of it?

A favorite subject of mine!  I've done a few models with nail 'polish' paint, there is a great selection of colors, the metallics are finer grain than (now discontinued) Model Master, and the pearls are nice too.  Very nice restoration.

Looks fantastic!  Are all nail paints lacquer based?

Looks great in nail polish! Very 80's ?

Nice one Dominik! Imagine it at 1:1, it certainly makes a statement.

Outstanding job, looks fantastic!! Never thought that nail polish could be used for model cars.

[Twokidsnosleep]

I hope, it can stay in this color "for ever" ?

Thanks Kurt - yes, thats true with the paint. But i have not that best paintbooth to paint often with nail polish paint...normally i take spraycans and paint outside. i have to work on my place for painting in the basement...so i can use more of nail colors.

i only choosed three colors from different manufactures and thinned them all with standard thinner - the same i clean my brushes. 

 

Thank you all for kind words ?
