Revell Porsche 918 spyder 1/24

New kit from Revell
Just finished










Wheels are small again (real car has F:20inch R:21inch but kit is F:19inch R:20inch) ,anyway much better than BMW i8.










Limited Porsche from 550spyder to 918spyder !!


Hybrid rivals.

Perfect!
Love this photo:


But again, Revell was wrong with the size of the wheels.

Re: Revell Porsche 918 spyder 1/24

your work is stunning, can I ask, do you scribe panel lines and add some dark paint or oil in the gap?

Thanks for sharing

Yes, I scribed and remolded panel lines. I used Tamiya enamel black in the gap

Of course, you'd be the first to finish this kit! Love it. Someone is going to have to make better decals...do the Revell ones really replicate the lime green background of the scripts?

Decals are not good in condition. Lime green backgrounds are not printed partially, so I retouched it by paint.

Re: Revell Porsche 918 spyder 1/24

sad they go on making silly mistakes on a so important part like wheels are.
revell makes really nice models, I just hope they fix those issues in the proper way for the future.

Stunning collection and great model here. congratulations !

Re: Revell Porsche 918 spyder 1/24

that's a great set of cars in that line up.

I only just recently spotted this kit so was taking a closer look at the actual car again.
is it better looking than the Carrera GT?
I'm not sure but a new kit is always a good thing.

Re: Revell Porsche 918 spyder 1/24

Nice work! Only McLaren P1 missing from that hybrid collection. I wish there will be a model of it soon? Meanwhile I think I'll have to settle for the 918 and i8.

Re: Revell Porsche 918 spyder 1/24

Nice work! I saw a trio of 918's yesterday, one in RSR livery, the other in Gulf livery, the other standard smoke silver w/the green accents.

They all had charcoal color engine cover mesh...how good or bad was the Revell decal to deal with? Not sure anyone will make a proper molded metal mesh engine cover, but the silver doesn't look quite right.
