Evening all, For now this is just a place holder as I have a GB to finish before starting on this. As Mike already did an excellent review of this kit, I’ll save you for the sprue pics. As I have so far only managed to complete a grand total of two kits in my recent modeller career (I have started quite a lot though ), both being aircraft, for this my first car kit I’m definitely going to ask for your kind assistance as we along! On opening the box I noticed that the windscreen had some scratches/imperfections on it, likely originating from the production of the part. After logging a complaint online a the Revell homepage, 5 days later I received a FOC replacement part. So a big 👍 to Revell for their excellent customer service. My first couple of question to you guys is actually concerning the paint. Color wise I’m considering Porsche factory colors lime green or Gulf blue, leaning more towards the Gulf blue at the moment. Found both here at Gravity Colors homepage, so my current questions are concerning the Gravity Colors themself. 1. From reading other posts, I understand that Gravity paints are popular around here, so what is everyones experience using these paints please? Are they easy to apply and are they suitable for less experienced airbrush users (like myself)? 2. What I really like about Gravity Colors is their huge selection of factory colors. Are there any other known model paint manufactures around with such a huge selection of OEM colors? 3. Though I usually prefer water-based paints due to lack of smell and easiness of cleaning, I understand that Gravity Colors are lacquer based paint. How bad are they on odor and is it relatively easy to clean airbrush, tools, etc post use? 4. Gravity (obviously) recommend their own primer (https://gravity-colors.com/primers/101-gc-303-light-surface-primer/). Any experience with this primer please? Any suitable alternatives please? I’m a real jerk with a spray (rattle) can, so any alternatives would have to be for airbrush use please? 5. Also for the gloss clear coat Gravity is recommending their own product (https://gravity-colors.com/clear-coats/102-gc-306-gloss-clear-box-set/). This product is a 3 component product, consisting of gloss clear, activator and additive thinner which will have to be mixed to the right ratio before use. Again, does anyone have any experience on this product and/or can you recommend any alternatives please? Even here I would prefer airbrush over spray can. Any and all advise would be greatly appreciated 🙏 Cheers, Johnny b

I've been looking around for a newer model Porsche 911 (GT3 RS preferably) kit in 1/24 scale but I can't find anything,only the old 911's from the 90's and early 2000's.Is there even a new 911 in 1/24 out there at the moment?? If anyone could recommend a good kit,that would be very helpful. Thank you
