A kit I haven't seen in here...

I saw this model at a local hobbystore...I really love Porsches but this was a special car for me...If you've seen a real Koening 928(I've seen one build here) you'll know how awesome this car looks in reality...Soi wide and so agrresive...Th only thing I don't like is the front air duct and the side mirrors but we'll see about that...
Th kit isn't great but the model is captured very well...not Tamyia quality through...
The price was too much 25 US when the Tamyia 959 costs 20 is a steal...

It think I build this kit after the 11 GT 2 since it's a very simple one...Don't know...I also have this 959 calling me...

Cool car. If you want, smooth the bumper and change the mirrors (for me it's good). And above all change the wheels!:D

Pretty nice, i like those cars a lot...def change the rims but try to keep the width of them

Well worth the $25, if you really desired to build it, since that kit is probably OOP :)

Good find

Hot stuff :devil:

I think there's only three or so Fujimi wheelsets with that kind of width. There's the Lamborghini style OZ wheels, a set of deep well RS Watanabes, and a set of Porsche 996RS style wheels. Those are the ones that I think have those ultra-wide rear tires.

But I personally wouldn't trade those nice BBS's, either.

Cant say i've seen this kit......should look good when done.
Wheels do look rather funny...maybe the Tamiya GT2 Road Version would look sweet on it

OOP???

The wheels look nice in person...They have the usual fujimi problem(look small on the car)but are really wide and look perfect with the widekit...

Most popular choices are the 995RS wheels(if they look as I imagine)they might be perfect...and all tamiya Porsche GT 2 wheels!



Thanks for your replys...I hope to start this model soon...

P.S.1:The real one I've seen was silver with these BBS wheels with the inner part of the rim painted black...It looked out of this world...I still consider this paintjob/wheel combo...

P.S.2:Could a mod change the subject from 'kti' to 'kit'!

Out of Print, it's not made anymore. :)

Personally, i'd keep the rims because you probably won't find rims the same width as the tires and they look great with the car. Those rear tires are huge! Can't wait to see some progress work.

pretty good.. i like it.. :D

This is Fujimi's Koenig 911, I think the look of the wheels fit the era of this car and the 928 perfectly. They are bigger diameter than they look off the car. :)

THe store also has the 911(which I think looks a bit ugly...)After seeing yours I might consider getting that kit also...

Man I hate AF soon I'll be broke... Bought 4 kits the last 3 weeks!

Hi,
i built 2 models of this car......
one, box straight and a second with rims of 18'', new exhaust pipes, lowering.......

Thanks a lot Laurent...
Both of them are exceptional...as all your models!
I'm still thinking if I should build it box stock or custom?
Black(like on the cover) or silver with BBS wheels with black centers?

Thanks everyone for your replys!

I would personally paint it a nice black and paint the wheel centers matching black as well, but retain the polished lip. Love the kit btw!

Koenig are pretty well known for outrageously big wheel arches.

That kit is pretty rare now I take it. I've recently won a Fujimi Koenig Specials Ferrari F40 on ebay. Can't wait for it to arrive!!

What's exactly the deal with the 928 and 911 Koenig specials?
Do they worth more unbuilt than build?
Should I keep the kit in the shelve or I should go on and built it???

Thanks for all the replys...

Build it for gods sake, models are meant to be built not to gather dust on a shelf for ten years and then sold to rip off some poor sap. Sorry to rant but people who collect kits just to make a profit later realy pi** me off. Nothing personal you understand but thats my opinion, btw I have built this kit in the past and it does look great :)

Should I keep the kit in the shelve or I should go on and built it???

Build, build, build!!

LoL

I'm gonna build I just asked!Not sure I'm ready to build a model that is out of production for my thrid kit!(I don't want to mes it up!)

P.S:Selling them to get more kits not to rip off other ppl I hope!

:)

When the GT2 is finished I'll start this one!

Just take your time on it and you won't mess it up:) Keep the wheels too. They suit the car perfectly. SOOOOOOOO WIDE:eek: Paint it black and maybe the rims gold.......just a suggestion;)

Have you decided if you want to keep the wheels or not? If not, I would like the buy them from you. I would like to put them on my 350Z model.

Yes I'm gonna keep the wheels but they propably won't 'fit' to a Z 'cause there are aproximatelly 14's and the rear too wide...Sorry

Well, thanks for telling me that. I was thinking about ordering a model to use the wheels. Oh well...
