Porsche Boxster

[atomicholiday]

Just finished this one.  My first completed build since 2022!  
This is the Revell Porsche Boxster Snap Tite kit from 2015.  It was a gift from my wife and daughter several years ago.  I built this as a test bed to try out a few different products and techniques.  As such, there are a few “firsts” for me on this project.

For starters, the paint.  This was shot with Tamiya TS-26 Pure White, Testors Extreme lacquer blazing black, and cleared with Rustolium clear lacquer.  I’d never used the Tamiya rattle cans before, and wow!  Great stuff!  
The undercarriage was lightly weathered (another first for me) with Tamiya panel line accent, and Mr. Weathering Color.

The kit was built straight out of the box, with the only addition being the stripe decals, taken from the AMT Mercury Comet kit.  

I hope you enjoy!  As always, questions, comments, and constructive criticism are welcome.  Thanks for looking.?

Great build. Awhile back I had a real one and this brings back good memories. The black front hood is a cool look.

Very nice build. Some snap kits are a lot of fun and great slump busters. Looks good in white.

Looks great! I built this one earlier this year to match my 1:1.

Great looking Porsche.  Well done.

Thank you, gentlemen!  Much appreciated.

@StanGlover - Your Boxster looks great!  Is that the same kit?  Question for you (if it is).  Did yours come with rear-view mirror glass?  Mine didn't.  I had to make some up out of thin sheet plastic.

That's very nice! You have "customized" it, without breaking the bank. I have a Revell 95 Impala SS, that you can't tell is a snap kit, unless you look really close at it.

@atomicholiday Yes same kit! Mine did not come with any mirror glass. I just filled the mirror cavities with a Molotow chrome pen.

Thanks!  My idea was to make it sort of a daily driver/track day car.  Something that like a budget weekend racer.  Slightly modded but nothing too crazy.
