Smile Porsche carrera gt project

Tamyia Porsche Carrera GT

This kit took me a week and a half to build and its been built out of box with no extras. I didn't take many progress pics because i only discovered the forum when i was half done.
I have painted it a custom mixed light gunmetal colour, the interior is two tone ascot brown and black.

Makes me sneeze really badly (using spray and airbrush) even outside.

If that's the case, you should buy a respirator. Put one of those on and you will never have to smell the paint.

Would of been much nicer if you didn't brush paint it. Great execution though.
