Monogram 1986 Porsche 911 Turbo "slant nose"

[Deathgoblin]

I was gonna call this one either "Son of The Pink Pig" or "What a Mary Kay exec would drive". This was a fun kit. The entire engine was plated, but it's decent once it's stripped.  It goes together really well.  The paint is a Duplicolor white base coat, Tamiya pink and then Duplicolor pearl white on top. The red plastic bled through, so it's PINK. I'm actually really happy with it.

Looking good Brian!

Very nice Brian, an accidental gem. Well done.

Cheers,

Unusual but cool! What did you use on the exhaust manifolds to get that nice cast look?

[Jim B]

Great looking Porsche.  Really well done.

Very nice and the color looks good with the black interior.

I did a base coat of Revell Aqua Color steel, then a wash of a copper/brown mix for heat staining, then a light wash of flat black.  The engine itself is Revell aluminum and a wash of blue/black.

Cool color choice and great build!

Funky nice build.

The color works.   Looks really good on this car.  Great build overall Brian.

That looks pretty cool! Definitely a "happy accident"! I traded a boxed kit of that one recently, and quickly regretted it. So the next show I went to, I found a bagged kit for $5!

Nice build!  I just finished the exact same one in silver.  A fun kit for sure
