Here are some pics with the door parts glued...I did some sanding before placing them and with some glue and correct positioning they look great...It might not need any putty filling...

Another interesting part of the model are the wheels and tires...

Here you can see the tires which where awfull...Many leftovers from the mold...

After some cytting and sanding here we are...Almost perfect tire with the thread almost intact...

Don't you love those wide rear tires!(they say they are 350's!)

Overall I think a very decent kit...The body is molded very good and captures they original shape of the car perfect...The fiting was better than what I expected and it might not need any kind of puttywork...THe only bad part is the diameter of the wheels which is small...I think typical Fujimi problems...

P.S:Not sure on the color yet...is either black with stock rims and cream interior or Silver with black center on stock rims and black interior...What do you think?

Once again sorry for my bad english and my blurry pics...

I'm off to my bench again many models waiting...:) :) :)

Cychalen I'm waiting to see you start yours...;)

Koenig=Cool!!

Nice!
I am still working on my Porsche and BMW so I will probably start this one next weekend.
Did you notice the mold lines on A & C pillars?

Cool kit, i want one of those. I recommend you to paint it in yellow or racing white with some stickers. And you could paint the spokes in yellow. SHould look good.

Looks like it could be a nice kit.

That kits looks attractive!
I like it!

Thanks a lot for your replys...
Cychaen if you mean the pillar in the rear hatch yes i noticed them but they wasn't heavy...I removed them with an exacto knife...

Not sure about the color yet...

nice looking kit. more progress pics??

went out and bought myself one of these kits! after searching high and low, i finally found one for $30USD. yeah i think got shafted but damn this kit looks so cool!

any progress?

a.

The kit looks very good and I believe that it deserves the 30 $...
I'd pay that much to buy a second one any time...

I'm working on it but I have a problem with small parts pictured in the last body pics...I can't find a how the hell the go in the doors...
Also by mistake I took them from the parts tree and I don't know what is what...DO you know how they might fit between the door and the main body???

I remember seeing this kit on my local hobby shop's shelf a few years ago. I'm disappointed I never bought it. Looks like a fun kit. Are you doing anything 'special' to it or building it out of the box.

I'd say they're the "fins" that go in the rear brake ducts. Test fit each piece in there until you find the configuration that fits properly and resembles the box art...

Don't you have the instructions? Wouldn't it show a picture putting those pieces in place?

I have instructions and I testfitted the parts in every possible way...
I can see how they might fit...

Plz if anyone built the model throw some help in that...

P.S:Building box stock at the moment just minor details(filled the back of the seats e.t.c.)Not even sure about the color yet...

this is probably the one kit that i would have to fight myself not to try and do anything more to it. the body lines are so agressive that i don't want to take away from it by doing anything more. let's just say the rims are worth a $15 price tag all on its own! the only thing i'm a bit bummed at is that the construction is so simple... much too simple for a $30 kit. that's my only gripe. but the body and wheels are so amazing that i just lose sight of what i was originally upset about :D

a.

Well I was trying to decide what color this kit will be and I took a samll brake from this kit but now it's back...Not much progress but I took the important desision...

Here is a shot of the filled seats...

And here are some shots of the body painted...It's lines are so awesome and In silver it look so agressive...:smile: :smile: :smile:

Now on the other decisions I'm thinking of two interior colors...Blak leather or dark red leather...It fits porsche's style the silver body dark red interior but I dunno about this beast...

Hope you like it more pics later...

P.S:Appleseed the kits has some of the most awesome lines in a plastic car kit and it represents a model that can scare you in person...Fujimi done great work capruting the image of the car...It worth the 30$ price tag just for the body let alone the wheels...

Very Nice!

One of my brothers mates has a 928, with a pretty good Sony Xplode sound system and an exhaust on it, is pretty good for a first car! :iceslolan

That kit I want it so badly :eek:
Good job so far, keep up the good work :bigthumb:

About the seats, why not paint it red on the inside and black around and on the back IMO. Just my 2cents :2cents:
Should look good with silver.

Edit:
Something similer to what Pman did on his Evo VIII (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?threadid=110841&perpage=15&pagenumber=3)

The kit is awesome...I higly recommend it and I would buy another the momment I saw it...I'll search for it 'cause I want one in black...

Two tone interior work well on the Evo but the Porsche is...more classy(special with her being in silver) but I haven't decided yet...

Thanks for your comments...

LOVE the color!

man those r some deeep rims.

I think you should keep the interior low-key colours. Something like different shades of black and dark greys would look awesome. Try not to make it too bright inside or your eyes will be attracted to the interior instead of the awesome exterior.

Keep up the great work!

can wait to see this finsihed

OMG i need this kit....
i cant explain to you guys how much i love this car... ill try
growing up in a wartorn country i only had 2 toy cars to play with when i was little...
a 928 Porsche and a old camero....
i fell inlove with the Porsche... no one else could play with it... only me..... and it was always the best at jumping from couch to couch.... lol
and now i have the pleasure to see a mint condition one driving to school every morning...
i will give my left nut to built this car

I agree with christofurr, dark colors will look would look great.
I don't know why I did my seats in white. :redface: :confused:

Thats really nice, good choice with the silver...go for a black interior with the front seats red..(almost like a JDM look) even tho it aint jap.

Great progress.Paint the interior black.

Main interior and undercariage shot...Not many work done just the main colors sprayed,masked and then the secondary colors added...

http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/1306863post02.jpg

THe interior,in person,looks aas dark as it should look no too dark or to bright...and when the shades are on it will look great(I think)...

Ive done some other small thing here and there which I'm going to post later on...

What can I say... I like it.

well things haven't gone very well with the body...I thought to give just another final coat since I was working on the other bits of the kit...

Everything went easy suddenly the can let more paint get out of the valve and I got a nice big fat mark of paint in my door...
That really pissed me off since the paintjob was great....

http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/9691004post01.jpg

Other thatn that I decided I'll leave the Porsche without the rear wing...It seems more smoth to me that way(without the wing...)

http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/4621544post02.jpg

I'll work more on it when I feel better about this #$#$#$ mistake...

too bad about the paint :(. Good idea with(out) that wing.

Well I sanded the mistake(very carefully)and then repainted and clearcoated...And it looks aawesome...The color looks so real and the Tamyia clear made a very smooth and even layer...It looks really great and you can't say that there was ever a problem with the paint...

http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/5184075post02.jpg

Here is the interior I've addded some gine lines of darker red and then black washed the whole ared and the result look awesome in both the seats and the rear side...It only needs a Satin clear coat now!(It's too gloss)

http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/1925555post03.jpg

Here are some pics of the undercarriage...Instead of the usual black wash I used a dark red-brown-black mix to black wash the whole engine and undercarriage area...The result was better than I expected it look very realistic and looks like the car was ona muddy road before...

Here is the detailed dshboard the details on the main console cannot be seen in the pics but I've paintedheat switchs and the radio buttons,looks very good in person...
