Tamiya Taisan Starcard Porsche 911 GT2 1995 1/24
Hi everyone, I have not written here in Motorsports because, until now, I have done only motorcycle models.
For my first car model I decided to start with a classic Tamiya 1 / 24, Porsche 911 GT2 1995 Taisan Starcard. This is a curbside model and should not be too complicated. For a great start I will start two models of Porsche, one for me and one will be a gift for my brother.  This is the package contents...

Re: Tamiya Taisan Starcard Porsche 911 GT2 1995 1/24
I started working on the body. Panel lines scribed, imperfections cleaned, hooks bonnet eliminated, fenders drilled... A first pass of grey primer and I moved on...
then I will give white primer...

Re: Tamiya Taisan Starcard Porsche 911 GT2 1995 1/24
without photo reference it's very difficult to work...
using the cover box like reference I modified the wing by inserting a small net...

Nice work, looks like you're making clean progress. I've got this kit on hold so will follow your build closely for inspiration.

Re: Tamiya Taisan Starcard Porsche 911 GT2 1995 1/24
More reference: https://picasaweb.google.com/carslegend/Porsche993GT2
I suggest that you remove the connectors/switches in front of the windshield before you paint the body. They are not very realistic in the first place, and they would look absolutely shapeless under a few layers of paint. Check this out: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...9&postcount=61 |

What a great start! I love watching double-projects like this, each car ends up with it's own characteristics and "personality".
