Revell Porsche 904 GTS Carrera

[THarrison351]

This was a super easy build. It's a curbside designed for slotcar racing. I should have deepened all the panel lines. It's 1/24 scale, has probably 40 pieces in the kit including the parts for the slotcar conversion. It captures the look though.

One big change I made was the wheels. the originals looked marginal. many years ago I built a Fujimi Porsche 356 and I kept the leftover wheels and brakes. Parts box tires look OK.

Used a gold gel pen for the lettering. looks purple in the light.

Four parts for the interior. I added some generic gauge decals.

Not much here. 

This paint was unfortunately hotter than I hoped, it ate right through the Tamiya White primer. Not the first textured model I've finished. 

Mocked up in about an hour.

One of my favorite models and you did it proud. The wheel change makes a big difference.

Well done, Tim - clean model and the wheels of the Fujimi 356 C are just perfect for it.

Amazing how much the 356 wheels change the character of the model. Great work!

Sweet looking classic. I would put it in a model case..

I know that it is a simple model but you did a really good job and the car really captures the lines of the 904.  Congratulations.
