Porsche 959 progress
Priming body after removing old (Testors) primer with CSC
Testors primer sucks. Never use it! Tamiya's much much better Thinking about respirator mask before dying from brain and lung damage

Sanded with 1000grit and started with second coat of primer.
That damn ugly Porsche to hard to cover!!! Maybe becouse it's curved body shape. I guess BMW body much easier to prepare, it's panels have almost flat surface

I've bought wired distributor kit for engine dressing. But this distributor doesn't fit. So I took 3 wires together and wound it around distributor to secure it. Anyway it is not visible under the hood. I think to add A/C hoses to fill some emptiness in engine bay.

The color looks fine. You just don't like the flocking?
According directions in the box car should have gloss aluminium body and hull red inside. I decided to choose my own color scheme and body supposed to be italian red like most Ferraris

Coming along well.
I just got this kit today and it appears to be a really great looking kit. Could you take a pic down low and side-on so i can check out the ride height. Thanks
