cruz Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Finally got this thing done, after taking the pictures I realized I am missing the license plate, I will add it later. The roof rack has some additional parts I was supposed to install but I prefered the opened look of it better. I had a lot of fun building this one even though I had to make sure the fitment of the parts was tested before moving on through each phase of the instructions. Hope you guys like it....

peter31a Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Oh Yeah! I really like it! That is a really cool rally car and a nice clean build. Job well done Cruz.
sak Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Wow that thing is badass !!!! Too bad we can barely see that beautifull motor.
meaneyme Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Great work on a difficult kit Cruz, those Enthusiast Series kits by Fujimi are pretty challenging to put together but as usual, you pulled it off well. I too prefer seing the rack unmolested, kinda gives the car a better look. Too bad the engine is hidden in the car, I saw your WIP pictures and the engine looked really cool when you displayed it on the stand. Your paintwork looks phenomenal too.

Thanks guys, the engine is quite nice in this kit and it's a shame to hide it at the end. I will probably put another one together and display it with the kit later. This is the actual engine in the kit.... Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki
RodneyBad Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Looks Fantastic. Never realized just how much space the engine takes up in it. Engine looks Awesome.. My favorite part of the build Awesome work..
warra48 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Very very nice work. Great looking engine. I have always loved those Fujimi Enthusiast kits, even though they are somewhat a labour of love to build. The fit of the parts is not always clear, so you need to be sure of what you are doing. The detail on them is fantastic, and seems to be accurate according to the research I did on the ones I built. I built the Daytona and the Dino, but my love is the Porsche 356. I've built 3 of those so far. Still one to go, the Speedster.
cotto Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Terrific work as usual Cruz, very well detailed kit. Does the front hood open on your kit? I thought it was an option with this kit. Also, it does look better witht the back license plate.

MrObsessive Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Another one outta the ballpark Cruz! Yes, those Fujimi Enthusiast series kits can be a real pain in the tush to build------but well worth it when done! ...............Those decals would have sent me over the edge as I'm not a big fan of putting them on! Yours look great!
Jim Gibbons Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Beautiful work! I wish there were more vintage rallye models available.
edward smith Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 Happy to see this baby done, love the fact that it is an old Rally Car subject. The decals look gorgeous against the smooth, white paint and the stance is just perfect.
Dave B Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 Nice build, paint & detail. I also love the Fujimi enthusiast series and have built the Porsche RSR, Lambo Countach & Ferrari Daytona Coupe & still have the Spyder to build. Dave B
W-409 Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 This Porsche looks very cool! I like the detailing on this, especially the engine. Paintjob looks very good too. Really great looking car, I like these being built. I have also one Rally Car project going on, hope I can finish it soon. But your one is looking really cool.
