Lownslow Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 its the recent 1/20 kit stock wheels, blah im not 50. the new wheels are 1/18s but it sits too high so i swapped the tires from some jada import wheels still high but workable
Dr. Cranky Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 I like the wheels. The model has a lot of potential. Hope you hit another homerun.
Foxer Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 I'm partial to this car as one of Porsche's finest and unappreciated. Looking forward to your take on it.
LAone Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 nice. im liking the look with the wheels. i have a couple of 1/20 scale kits and the 20" 1/24 scale wheels fit pretty good on there.
Lownslow Posted November 19, 2011 Author Posted November 19, 2011 I'm partial to this car as one of Porsche's finest and unappreciated. Looking forward to your take on it. i love all front engine porsches i would love to own this or a 924/944 someday
Foxer Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) i love all front engine porsches i would love to own this or a 924/944 someday They were great cars ... I had five of them! A 77 924 with a Callaway turbo, a '81 924 Turbo, one the first year of the 944, a '87 .. the first year of the interior fix and a '91 944S ,, the last year it was made. All of them were driven all year round in Western Massachusetts. Finally I was able to get winter tires when I had the '84 and could get up the mountain road I lived on . eheh. I do remember a 928 that was always at my mechanic's and had dash troubles all the time. I wouldn't want to pay the mechanic bills that one had. Edited November 19, 2011 by Foxer
Tony T Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 "stock wheels, blah im not 50." I just turned 49... Love the 928...still looks fresh today. I saw one the other day out on the road (later 928S4) and man did it stand out in traffic!! The 924 was originally designed for VW, but due to market conditions, VW backed out. Porsche had it developed far enough that they marketed the car as a Porsche...the rest as they say is history!
Lownslow Posted December 24, 2011 Author Posted December 24, 2011 cool lesson i wonder what vw was gonna sell it as. got the look im going for
surfjunke Posted December 25, 2011 Posted December 25, 2011 Beautiful car & a great older kit. Your wheel choice makes a major difference. Looks really cool. I am glad to see that Tamiya is reissuing this kit.
slantasaurus Posted December 25, 2011 Posted December 25, 2011 I'm really liking this one Frank, you might just get me to pull my Testors/Italeri version off the shelf. Maybe we can both bring them to the club meeting and show them together.
jbwelda Posted December 26, 2011 Posted December 26, 2011 looks killer down low like that. this should be nice...i always liked those 928s in 1:1 though they had a hard time giving them away back in the day...still very underrated.
Lownslow Posted December 27, 2011 Author Posted December 27, 2011 sounds like a plan slant. got it painted i went with testors 1 coat bronze the interior is gonna have a burberry pattern on the insets
zak78 Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 I'm loving the stanced 928. I remember you building your purple one with the 703 plate while I was working on my widebody version.
Lownslow Posted December 28, 2011 Author Posted December 28, 2011 I'm loving the stanced 928. I remember you building your purple one with the 703 plate while I was working on my widebody version. thanks, the purple one that was a rebuild of a beater i got a fresh revell 928 and 944 i wanna build side by side next year.
slantasaurus Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 I just used Testors One Coat Bronze on another build I just finished.....be careful, I might try to take this one home "by mistake" thinking its my Capri......lol
Lownslow Posted December 28, 2011 Author Posted December 28, 2011 from the same can i got 2 different colors, it might not make the next meeting someone is interested in buying it when its done
Dirkpitt289 Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Nice, I just started to look for one of these. This was my favorite Porsche back in the 80's. I'm not sure its the right model but I wanted to do the Porsche from Risky Business. (GLUB)

I'm not sure its the right model but I wanted to do the Porsche from Risky Business. (GLUB) thats actually how i fell in love with the 928 first it was the look in weird science then the color in risky business
Lownslow Posted December 30, 2011 Author Posted December 30, 2011 interior is almost done still got more carpeting to go
LAone Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 its looking really good bro. keep up the great work.
Lownslow Posted January 10, 2012 Author Posted January 10, 2012 thanks guys i got some time in it today goal is to get the interior finished up then start on the engine put some time in the porsche
mrm Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Looking cool. love the color too. I may be in the minority, but I love the 928 too. I got tired of the same 911 design when I was 15. Not digging the wheels tho, but to each their own. Does anyone make this car WITH an engine in 1:24
Dirkpitt289 Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 very nice. I just bought the Testors 928 off EvilBay this weekend. I can't wait to get it.
