Hello there! Well, my KS Mercedes 500 SL is finished, and it came out perfect! It is now underglass for you all to admire.

I need help decideing which of the three next KS Model's to build! What would you like to see me build next?

The KS Diablo will be just like in the photo, Italian Red with black/red interior.

The KS 911 will be Guards red with flat-red interior/gold wheels.

and the KS 928 will either be the same metallic gray I used on my Mazda RX7 FC, or gun-metal, or light gun-metal.

All three look so good and so tempting.

I've once previously built both the 911 and 928 before when I was a teenager. The 928 was black/red, and the 911 was white/blue.

I've never done the Diablo before and while it has opening doors, it still look's much simplier than the Enthusiast Model KS Countach which will be done dead last.

I know, I know, ultimately it's up to me, but still would be fun to see what you'd like to see me do next! B)

The 928 was the first production car Porsche EVER built from a clean sheet of paper. It has always been highly underrated for the automobile it was. I would just never want to do any repairs OR pay for repairs on one. That V8 engine bay .. the whole car actually, was just crammed full of pieces and all had to make way to get at a repair. That's my vote ... B)

i agree the 928 was underated! but they sucked too, pain to work on, always broke down, and my uncle had suspension problems, i found that the 924, 944, and 968 was alot better! and more positive to drive! than that heavy weight v8 928!

Fuje, I like the lil red one in the middle. Don't know my Porsches that well after 71.( I helped tune up my autoshop teachers 917, so I KNOW that one) But they sure are ALL pretty cars. I just happen to like THAT particular style.It looks like it would be a REAL screamer,I like them fast lil carts,and that one just LOOKS fast! :););)

Well thank you this is fun. At first the 928 was in the lead, and now the 911 is ahead. Not to many people seem to care about the Diablo though! LOL!

I've decided that the 928 will be painted Tamiya's TS-42 Light Gun Metal which is what I used to paint my 1/43 Honda Insight. It should be a nice simple color to paint and should suit the 928 very well. I'm also going to use the fancy grey/white/black chequred uphulstry decal set that came with the "spare" 500 SL model. Interior will be pretty much a simple black with silver "aluminum" trim.

I'm going to keep this poll open for a few more day's.

For the one who didn't know which one was which, it is clearly writtin on the box's in the picture.

The red one in the middle clearly reads Koenig Specials Porsche 911 BITurbo :)

All are very cool model's and I can't wait to see'em all completed and ligned up in a row looking hot! But, I gotta be careful! Gotta be very, very patient and take my time with these! So far, my last to KS models have been successful and are sitting pretty together!

both porsches have no moving parts (except for metal axles). the Diablo has opening doors. I say build the two "easier" kits @ the same time. no reason not to have 2-3 kits in various states of finishness (is that a word?) heck, i have about 15 different projects happening @ the same time, 2 should be cake!

I'd thought for sure you would've voted for the 928 your selfe! LOL! Anyway, I decided upon the 928 as it's one of my fav's. Very cool looking wide-body 928, and a very simple kit to do.

While ultimately it was my decision, I just thought it would be fun to have a vote! Seems' the Porsche's are more popular than the Lambo! And as you said, they are much easier to do which is why my Countach will be dead last, even after I've finished both Veilside's!

So, look for the 928 on the "bench"!

Voting ended! Thank's!
