Porsche 911 Turbo

This is the Tamiya kit. I removed the 3D front license plate and the back plate so I can use US plates. I also cut the whale tail piece off the rear deck so I could scribe the trunk lines better and paint it black separately. I usually do race cars with a specific color. I bought a bunch of Duplicolor and Motomaster touch up paints at 3/$1.00 at a surplus store in my area and finally decided on this Motomaster paint, FM 77-78. These paints have finer metallic pigment than Duplicolor. Now I have decide on interior colors.

Why not convert to a Kremer 935 Slope?

I just wanted to do the classic 911 I have always wanted. This is one my favorite years

I agree, one of the truly definitive cars of the real 911 series. Most of these I've seen don't seem to sit right, but it looks like you have the stance spot-on. Nice project.

Thanks Ace, I did lower the ride height some.

Nice start Dale.

Looks great the blue suits this shape of 911 very well

Dale, would I be correct in assuming that you shot the paint through an airbrush? Fantastic paint finish.

No actually it's straight from the can. I usually use spray cans for body and chassis but everything else gets airbrushed. I do use the air brush for secondary colors in two tones etc. I will airbrush a coat of Testors Wet Look Clear over the blue.. The can had a fan spray head

Love that color blue. Still can remember the large poster on my bedroom wall as a kid. Lol. This was my dream car as a 10 year old. The whale tail is iconic!
