Ian Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) My wife was brought up in Germany, close to Stuttgart, she also loves orange cars, so... Tamiya's excellent 911/996 GT3 straight from the box and paint mixed by my favourite Mk.I eyeball method (X6 Orange with 'a few drops' of XF15 Flesh). One coat of 'Pearl' clear and two caots of TS13 Clear, all polished with Tamiya three-part compounds (no wax yet). Interior is a typical turn-of-the-century two-tone medium grey and dark blue-grey. Only thing on the finished thing that didn't come in the box is the carbon fibre roof decal by a Korean company 'Ka-Models' which I got through BNA Models in Oz. Not much else to say except that my kit came with a severely deformed left side A Pillar which threw-out the alignment of the front windscreen. Great kit and a very easy build as Tamiya always seem to be. As ever thanks for taking the time to look and / or comment. Please feel free to comment, question or rage-away. Next a 2011 997 GT3R then some aircraft builds, AFN Ian. Edited March 21, 2019 by Ian 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keefr22 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Another cracker Ian, very nice indeed! I like the contrast the roof and wheels give! By co-incidence I was spraying a Tamiya Escort Cossie orange earlier today - for once everything was going right, airbrush working well, paint laying down nicely - and then I ran out of paint 3/4 of the way through spraying the bodyshell !! Lovely Porsche, looking forward to the 997 ! Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Ohhh you going to like that one.... because the Fujimi kits' accuracy is fairly 'off', I decided to build it almost as a 'What If' with team decals from a very different 911 !!
