Here it is, it's been really finished now...

I give you Blackie.

It's a 1/24th revell-Italeri kit, painted gloss black with anthracite-matt black interior.
Not so many big mods on this baby, just changed the exhaust, and changed the rims to Tamiya Modena rims with Fujimi brembo's up front and the stock brakes at the rear. There have been added some PE seatbelts in the interior and it has been polished and waxed.
Also it received a different steering wheel.

This sure did't came out as I wanted to, I had shitloads of problems on the black paint, which at one moment even peeled right off??? but I managed to make a decent looking porsche for my cabinet, so I m fairly happy.

I know it's missing a rearview mirror, but that will hopefully be fixed soon.

Very good work Oli :thumbsup: The modified rims suit the car very well. Maybe I'll see it 'in real' once. ;)

Very nice!

Did you have any problems with the kit?

I keep 'almost' buying this kit, I saw one on the street today (the real car) and still think this is one of the most beautiful cars on the road today.
:p
