Smitty Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) This is the Jimmy Flintstone resin offering with a few parts from the Fujimi Porsche 356 kit. This was a club build that was made possible with the extreme generosity of Rob, a member of my club. I added the interior front bulkhead and side panels, the windscreen, the gauges and seatbelts. I ground down the ‘bustle back’ on the rear end to give it a more mainstream 550 Spyder look. I’m in search of some better, more accurate headlights for it. The paint is Vallejo acrylic ‘heavy red’ cleared with Model Master wet look lacquer. Thanks for looking!

1959scudetto Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Great looking model - this proves that a fine model could be built from the crude resin kit (I have 2 in my stash). Nice color , too (not all Porsches have to be silver and not all Ferraris must be red) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrb124@sbcglobal.net Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Beautiful 550 and beautiful color! A while back I had a 1:1 Beck 550 and this brings back good memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
