Andy J Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Hi there, so I've had this kit in the stash for quite a while and finally decided to build it. I think that the box art makes the car look bland so I decided to go for zero paints Porsche Acid Green. The kit provides the rear spoiler as a separate part which is usually painted body colour, however I painted this one semi gloss black along with the wheels and body trim. The kit itself is well designed and fits together nicely even though it's an older kit. Thanks for looking Thanks again for viewing back soon 🙂 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarz-Brot Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 THE supercar of my youth besides the mighty F40 and XJ220. I always loved that nicely blended spoiler. You did a very modern colour combination for a car of that era. Not a bad decision I think. It takes the car to recent times. Nice Shine, btw.

Thank you, if I hadn't changed things up a little I doubt I would have ever built the kit, not one for the purists I suppose but then I never intended it to be 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Cracking job again Andy - and that spoiler has definitely grown on me, especially with the matching wheels! And I do love that colour, one of my Porsches is definitely going to be Acid Green! Nice one...!! Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Thanks Keith I agree about the Acid Green mate I'm pretty sure I will be using this colour again in the future 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnlambert Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 That wouldn't be my first choice of colour but the finish looks great and when you see it on the shelf with the other Porsche models it really stands out. I nearly bought this kit back when it was current, but probably wouldn't have done it justice. As I recall I messed up a Tamiya Ferrari Testarossa instead.

Thanks John, I wasn't sure about the colour until I started to spray it but I wanted something different from the norm and I'm happy with how it turned out 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiny Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 It's not a colour I would have thought of, but it works really well. If I'm honest, I think it works better than the grey I used on mine which is probably the colour I'm least happy with on any of my models. Anyway, back to yours which looks as though it's very well built. It also looks as though you've done a much better job than me on the engine - mine didn't quite fit under and I had to glue the cover in place to stop it sitting about half a millimetre proud of the body, Yours is definitely a looker (nice window rubbers by the way ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as for the window rubbers it's actually easier to paint them after the clear coat as any rogue paint simply wipes away 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
