Einar Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 My latest build is the legendary Porsche 911 Carrera Coupé. I have always liked this Porsche version and preferably in fiery red. When my kids were small they always asked me "daddy, what would you like to have for Christmas present" and I always answered " a red Porsche 911" :-). Well since my wishes haven't been fulfilled so far I decided to get me a red Porsche myself. And here it is in the form of a new Revell model in 1/24 scale. There are at present a myriad of Porsche kits of different manufacturers on the market, Targas, turbos, roadsters, with whale tails, you name it. Well, based on many positive reviews I chose this Revell kit and it was really a pleasure to build. The molding was very sharp and the fit was excellent. The instruction sheet was of the new four coloured Revell type, very good and informative. I wanted. indeed to paint the model red and for the interior I chose a light brown upholstery. I checked on the net that this combination was used in many Porsche 911's. I primed the model with white Tamiya Fine surface primer and painted thereafter the red areas with Tamiya Italian red spray. Fort the leather seats I used Xrtacolor X107. The black parts were painted with different shades of Vallejo and Humbrol paints. I polished the hull with the Tamiya fine compound. 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesa Jussila Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Looks really good and color choice is excellent. Decal stickers make nice impression. I hope you can get your 911 in 1:1 scale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keefr22 Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 That's a stunning build Einar, really lovely Porker! 2 hours ago, Einar said: When my kids were small they always asked me "daddy, what would you like to have for Christmas present" and I always answered " a red Porsche 911" How strange is that - mine asked exactly the same and I always gave the same answer! They did eventually get me one - unfortunately it came in a Hot Wheels package!! 🤣 1 hour ago, Einar said: Maybe, one day I'll get a red Porsche in 1:1 scale I always said that when they went below £10,000 I'd get one - when they did my daughter had discovered horse riding (more expensive than cars!), so bang went getting my Porsche! Now a good one is at least 3 times that amount! Anyway, really like your red Porsche! Keith 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
