Duddly01 Posted March 9 Posted March 9 This is an older 1/25 Revell Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet that was an opened kit I purchased at the SoCal Open last May. Sadly the window frame was busted in two places, repaired and one spot was broken again. Painted with Scale Finishes 1984 Porsche Kiln Red with splash paints 2K clear. I created poseable steering and the usual compliment of LED lighting. I purchased some new kit parts off of eBay to make the engine correct, the kit came with a first gen. 911 engine, 1965-1971ish. This build took about a month to complete. in case you missed it her is the WIP thread. 14
STU111 Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Beautiful work Donald, that colour really suits. That surgical tape you used on the convertible top does give it a nice fabric texture. Top stuff. 👍🏻 1

It is a 1984 Porsche Carrera Cabriolet; my wife's name is Suzie, and we were married in 1984. I thought it made sense. 48 minutes ago, Kah puts said: Down right gorgeous 👍 Thank You!
happy grumpy Posted March 11 Posted March 11 For some reasons, there are only 2 Porsche models that I absolutely love. The Porsche 917 and the Carrera from the 70-80's. You did it justice, that color is awesome . The lighting is a nice touch. 1

I actually like any air cooled Porsche, but my favorite is by far the Porsche 356A myself. My mother had one when I was a child and I remember it fondly is mainly why.
