Porsche GT3R Hybrid 24h 2011

I start a new WIP.
Base is the 1/24 Fujimi Porsche 997 GT3R kit.
The new Transkit from Scaleproduction contains all modifications for the 2011 GT3R Hybrid. New hoods, bumper, BBS chrome wheels, PE parts, wing bracket, dashboard and steering wheel are included. These parts are very good quality.

First of all you need cut off the hood and bumper. I opened all vents at the body.

Not in the TK. You can take the tires from Fujimi kit. Here is a picture:

After an paint accident i repainted the whole body.
I used Zeropaints brilliant white and RAL2011 orange.
The body of the flywheel battery is printed at Shapeways.

Decals are looking very clean

Looking great so far !!

Very nice paint scheme revealed by a perfect paint work ! :thumbsup:

Beautiful paint work. Thanks for the link to shapeways. Great new thing for us modellers!! What exactly is the part for the r8 electrical connections? Where would those go?

You can install these R8 parts inside of the R8 LMS. It will be shown all electric boxes. ---> KLICK (http://images24.fotki.com/v767/photos/4/1566484/9091979/IMG_0707-vi.jpg)

looks fantastic with decals

Decal work looks brilliant

Steering wheel are 2 parts in the transkit. You can paint the knobs not correct while it will be cover with the second part. Great idea.

Perfect!!

That steering wheel is pretty clever and it looks great. I'll be following this build, as I love the 911 Hybrid. It's a very impressive car.

That's a very inventive way to do the steering wheel - too good an idea to not use that someday!

Jordan

The decals have brought it to life, very nice. I do like the dash and wheel as well.

I love the steering wheel - nice job!

the steering wheel painting is a great idea.
Imho the flocking on it is a little too big in scale(is a problem also I always have), but inside cockpit will be probably quite hided.

This looks great so far!!!

Flat clearcoat is done

Has this car a flat delivery? I did not know... Anyway, it is perfectly applied!!

This looks great! Has anyone tried to do the vents in front of the rear wheels that were used on the later versions?
Nic

The body looks fantastic!!! I also didn't know the 1:1 has a flat clear. What clear did you use. Can't wait to see it done, as i hopefully should have one in the pipeline soon.

Thanks mate. No the most detailed GT3R is Jochen's "Ringkämpfer". The wheel nuts contains more parts than my entire model.

Small update. Glue some wire under the flaps and painted semi-gloss black.
