Roncla Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 They look like the rims may not be deep enough. particularly the rear rims. The biggest issue though is they are only 16" diameter where as the 993 GT2 is18". These are the Scale Production rims shown on another forum.

Terminator-Fox Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) That trunk lid looks awesome. Although is it considered the cars hood since the trunk is up front? Edited January 22, 2014 by Terminator-Fox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although is it considered the cars hood since the trunk is up front? Lets just go with bonnet like the Brits call it!

Scalper Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Interesting kit. I will be keeping my eye on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandolsx Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 Alright I haven't posted an update in a long time on this car and it's about time! A lot of progress has been made lately. I switch to the "Number One" Car scheme. I ordered a 964 and will be doing to the signal green color on that model. I completed the wheels. I couldn't find any machined parts to use so I picked up some C1 Models Metalizer. This stuff is amazing, you simply paint a base coat and buff on the powder. After buffed it turns out great! I don't need to explain too much, the photos will do justice: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roncla Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 You're body is looking great and its sitting on the chassis right too. Its not the easiest of bodies to work with. C1s metalizer does work well. You can rub it over their suggested black or use other colors for different effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty excited how this one is coming out. I have another kit I'm building where I want to make the wheels almost a rosey silver color. I am hoping if I lay a base of red down that metalizer with show through some of the red. I'll do a test run first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brandolsx Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 Well, I finally finished this car this weekend. It turned out great and am very happy with it. I definitely learned a lot working with this resin kit and am happy I have the 964 version still to do. That one will turn out even better. There is a lot of modifying and making sure EVERYTHING fits before final painting. This is KEY. Pardon the photos below for the dust on the car. At then end I noticed there was two tabs in the back where the taillight lens goes. I have to grind this and thought I got all the dust off the car. But photos are unforgiving and catch all these details. The decals didn't sit too nice on this car either. You can see the square cut out around the "Number One" decal. Thanks for looking!
