Mattilacken Posted April 18, 2024 Posted April 18, 2024 So my Porsche got to the finish line in time for my friend’s 40th birthday tomorrow. It’s a Fujimi curbside kit modified with a Black Box resin engine that I made a custom turbo setup for based on his setup. I modified the floor pan to look more oem with a spare Tamiya GT2 kit I had, where the transmission also was sourced from. 3d printed wheels, tires and brakes. Interior is basic but with Tamiya buckets, arm rests(which the curbside lacs) from a Tamiya BMW. I also flocked the floor and back seat to resemble the 1:1 better. 15
Roger U Posted April 19, 2024 Posted April 19, 2024 That’s a really good looking model. Cleanly built, nice detailing, and great paint.
Rattlecan Dan Posted April 19, 2024 Posted April 19, 2024 Great looking build. Unique color for a Porsche. Nice touch.

Rich Chernosky Posted April 19, 2024 Posted April 19, 2024 Nice job on this one Anton. Very well detailed inside and out. The engine is great but I really like those wheels and tires.

I might get some better pics with the pair later when he brings it out of storage for summer, he has a good camera as well. his 1:1 is a also a red 911 but a 997, but he always wanted a 1984 911. Hence the gift.

ea0863 Posted April 21, 2024 Posted April 21, 2024 Fantastic build! And a particularly nice job on painting trim work - I know how tough that is on a model like this.

Most interesting was the bumper rubber seal on the top which had to be eyeballed
galaxyg Posted April 22, 2024 Posted April 22, 2024 Really really nice. Those wheels really set it off.

Justin Porter Posted April 24, 2024 Posted April 24, 2024 This really has lots of clever custom touches that make for a fun 911 to look at. Very nicely done!
