Have one of these in the queue as well. Thanks. On 7/27/2023 at 1:47 AM, Dann Tier said: I was wondering about this kit, and it looks very nice. Really love the work you're doing on it!...looking forward to more!! Thanks. On 7/27/2023 at 7:52 AM, slusher said: Beautiful paint and color, James! Thanks Carl. 7 hours ago, khier said: This is what I call telepathy. I have chosen the same colour for my targa. But.... I gave up using Tamiya acrylic paint for the exterior finish as they cannot be polished properly. Therefore I picked up a close green tone by testor. I never polish anyway.

Beautiful job on this build, the color is great! Thanks. Yea, it was a really tight fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluestringer Posted August 8 Author Share Posted August 8 Got some interior work done. Lots of small decals involved. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsuperdan Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Looking great so far! Especially on the interior. Just enough weathering on the leather to make it look well used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluestringer Posted August 13 Author Share Posted August 13 Got some body work done. There is a lot of hand detail painting on this kit and with my shaky hands I'm not very good with it. It's looking like a sloppy mess. One thing to watch is the engine hatch needs to go on before the interior is installed, not after. And it's kinda of finicky getting the rear of the interior and hatch hinges to fit right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ea0863 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 It's coming out beautiful James, and don't sweat the little imperfections you are talking about. They only show up on the hi-res photos we post to one another, and cannot even be seen with the naked eye! BTW; I love the color. Here in Las Vegas, I see Porsches by the hundred, and it's awesome how diverse the paintjobs are. If I understand correctly, Porsche will even paint a car any color you want from the factory.

afx Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 (edited) Nice work James. Did your body have the defects at the rear fenders I have seen in other editions of this kit? Edited August 15 by afx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippi Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 That 911 Carrera is looking pretty slick James. I think I've seen this kit at HL just never picked one up. That Tamiya X-15 green looks pretty sharp. Jay's ( https://www.ebay.com/str/jaysfashions1948 ) has some killer wheels & tires for the 911. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
