Porsche 911 Slant Nose

[Scalper]

Thanks guys. Getting warmer out. Spray time soon. Still not sure what colour to paint her yet.

If you're still thinking of shooting it the color depicted on the box art, Model Masters Pontiac Engine Blue or Boyd's Ice Blue Pearl would be fairly close.

[Scalper]

Thanks for the info monti. My wife would like me to paint it like the box art.

Nice job so far slant noses are so sweat.

I so agree! I wonder why Porsche stopped making them? Was it just a passing fad?

Actually it's hard to think of Porsche as being a company that folds to passing fads.

Andre, the wheels look FANTASTIC! In fact, I don't even see where they were attached to the sprues.

Maybe they had to make so mane production slant nose for certain racing league.

Thank you

Sanding sticks are great for wheels

Wish I had money right now to but paint. Because the weather is perfect. Next week hopefully she will have some paint.

Cool Man!!

Looks like you could polish that body right now !!!

Use wet 2000 for the seam lines

then Tamiya Fine Compound on an old cotton T-shirt scrap

Try it .......you like it!!

Love me a porsche

Cheers

Hello. Was a nice day to spray today. So I decided to go to the hobby shop Could not really decide what colour I wanted so I went with green.

Thank for looking.

Great work,both bodies look good I think I like the bottom one best if it were mine.

[Scalper]

Hello. Just a test shot. Will be masking for the black trim and window trim.

Thanks for looking.

Looks really bad in green, the good sort of bad. Fantastic color choice.

Now, imagine a new(er) 911 gt3 slant nose. Mmmhhh.

Wasn't sure if I'd like the emerald green, but mocked up with the wheels, it looks wicked... I love it!

[Scalper]

Thanks.

I was not to sure about the colour as well . but seems to look better and better.

Nothing like camping and building models. Going to do the trim today.
