Mike Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 My dad had the hots for the Princess when I was a kid. He was driving a Maxi at the time, so I think we can forgive him I've been wanting a 928 since Mike & Edd did one up on Wheeler Dealers. That bonnet is just rammed with engine, and it still looks sleek and relatively modern 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not you could get one off e-bay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PORSCHE-400ml-Car-Paint-Aerosol-80K-GUARDS-RED-INDISCHROT-84A/362106904323?hash=item544f40df03:g:3X4AAOSw4P1Zv7p- Although I should really recommend an 'oh no, I'm not at all jealous of the one parked in your drive' green....!!

bentwaters81tfw Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 After last week's steal of an Airfix Zodiac, I have just repeated the deal with an Airfix Lotus Cortina for an equally miserly sum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bonnet is just rammed with engine, and it still looks sleek and relatively modern Years ago, a friend was taking an car audio installation course and they had a Koenig Specials 928 in their shop. The instructor let us take a close look at it. It had twin turbos and a supercharger crammed under the hood which had a massive bulge. The fender flares were not exactly discreet either. The hatch was filled with a custom molded subwoofer box and speakers. Completely bonkers and over the top. I agree that the stock car still looks fairly modern and is such a clean design.

I just picked up a couple WRC kits this week myself . I also grabbed one of my favorite Hondas. I think of it as the big brother to my '91 Beat. The best part was they only cost me $20 CAD each with shipping. Carl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rs2man Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I picked this up from Hiroboy the other day As Matt Bacon mentioned in his RFI of this model it's very simple , especially underneath , but it's nicely moulded & should build up well . The only thing I don't like is that it's got a pair of racing bucket seats rather than the original seats . I might leave them as they are & fit harnesses , but I have a set of Revell XR3 seats which should look ok with scratchbuilt headrests . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeroenS Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 My first truck 🙂 I've been wanting to do one, the truck builds on the forum are very inspiring. I'm starting off with a classic which I bought "second hand" for a very nice little price. The chassis has been partly assembled, otherwise it's still untouched. I think I'm going to lengthen the chassis and put a second rear axle on it. That will be my first attempt at some scratch building / modifications. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan R Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 (edited) Hi Jeroen, I really like this one! I had an earlier version of this some years ago. It eventually went to the great plastic graveyard!
