250 Testa Rossa Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Really looking forward to seeing this done! What's next? A 911R?
afx Posted November 3, 2014 Author Posted November 3, 2014 Thanks John, glad you like it. Maxx, I have already built the factory '70 Tour de France 911ST using the 911R kit. Here is a link to the completed build. But I have a few more Porsche projects in the works.
afx Posted November 4, 2014 Author Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) I thought I would show you what the car looks like in street clothes before I give it the full race car treatment. It's obviously not 100% complete but I think you can see the street car potential. Edited November 4, 2014 by afx
250 Testa Rossa Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) Nice! Is Hist. Racing Miniatures doing any 1950s/60s Porsche kits in the near future? I have the old ScaleKraft 356 Abarth in my stash. Edited November 4, 2014 by 250 Testa Rossa
afx Posted November 4, 2014 Author Posted November 4, 2014 I am trying to turn him into a Porschephile . He is really into Ferraris (aren't we all) and old Indy/F1 cars. He does have a couple nice '60s race car kits in the works though but no Porsches that I am aware of. Stay tuned.

A correct full detail 904 GTS (Monogram slot car as a base) would be awesome. The 914/6GT is truly an awesome kit.
jaymcminn Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 This is seriously nice. I know it will look good with the decals, but I would have a hard time covering up that perfect white paint. Excellent work!
afx Posted November 5, 2014 Author Posted November 5, 2014 Thanks Jose & Jonathan. Maxx, Yes he is working on a Scarab and a Chaparral. There are a few other ideas he is working on. I don't want to mention them in case he decides not to release them. I agree the 904 would be a good choice. Jason, I have considered leaving it a street car but I didn't BMF the windshield trim. The race car had duct tape covering the trim. So I think that forces the race car route. Glad you like it so far.
afx Posted November 9, 2014 Author Posted November 9, 2014 I am pretty much calling this done. I will post more and better pictures "Under Glass" in the next day or two. Thanks for following along and all the kind comments.
jaymcminn Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Nice, JC. Can't wait to see the pics in Under Glass.
Randy D Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Hi JC, What a great build !!!! Thanks for posting this interesting subject, very nice photo's too Randy
afx Posted November 11, 2014 Author Posted November 11, 2014 Thank you all for the comments. I am going to try hard to get some more finished pictures this afternoon and post them "Under Glass". If I can get home before sundown!
cruz Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Very cool my friend!!! I will not be at the November meeting but please don't forget to bring it to our December one, I wanna see this baby up close!!!
DR JAY Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Very cool build...I've always had a soft spot for that style.
