This is one of my favorit car. The kit was produced in 1977 by Monogram. I don't want to make a big changes for a better appearance, but some of them will have been made. This is the box and its contents.

I will make a Europe version. The model will be presented to my friend, which is the owner of this car, before the New Year:

Let's start. The body has bent in my kit. It needs to correct.

The windows are very scratched in my kit.

The front and the rear end were glued. The front bumper was cut out.

I decided to cut out the luggage floor and to glue it with the body for the better look.

The rear drive shafts will be a bit corrected. At first I cut out its imitation.

Great start on a nice model car...I have this one myself...

Good start and the right attitude on what looks like a very basic kit.

Interesting project (for mazochists). But I've seen your previous works, so it'll be amazing accurate machine!

jabel: As I wrote above this will be mostly OOB, without global changes. I will add just a few little corrections.

Nice choice. I had a real one in high school. It was a '78 in medium brown with big 5 mph bumpers like in the Monogram kit. I know brown sounds boring but the 924 color was attractive on the car. The interior had several shades of brown and the seats were vinyl with tweed inserts. I like the European bumper in your first pic of the yellow car. It looks more aerodynamic. They were well built cars but the little Audi 4 cylinder wasn't enough. The 944 took half the 928 block and that's when the car became a hit in the US.

with the attention to detail your friend would definitely be happy to get the mini-me of his car. :)

Thanks for the comments.
A little progress. I've detected that the spare wheel cover is not aligned to the bottom pocket.

At first I decided to move the cover to the right.

But it was a mistake. After the studying of the photos I've seen that the cover was in the correct position. It was glued back to the place.

The bottom pocket was cut out and glued closer to the center of the car.

A chrom plate was deleted from the wheels and the door handles. All cavities and holes in a luggage carrier were filled with putty. Also I've started to work with the new front and rear bumpers.

These tires will be used (on the left). I don't like the kit tire (on the right).

nice. btw, what did you use to cut off the wheel cover and pocket?

I use this model knife.

thanks. must've taken quite a bit of time to do so :)

very clean cutting build details.

great project. I like the work on the bumpers

The front bumper is 50% ready.

Today I studied the real object with the ruler. I've took a lot of photos like these:

Looks great so far, keep up the good work !!

The correction of the rear seat is almost done. I need to hurry up, so I'm working every night.

Mikhail, looks really good! Glad to see from you such a progress on building kit so fast, but scrupulous!

wow. you even had to make sure that the dimensions on the seats are correct. your amazing attention to detail never fails to impress.

The interior was finished in putty.

5 stars for you. Good model and good post.

great model Mikhail !
Think this model can be probably reissued soon by revell germany. I also seen Arii made it too, but dunno its quality compared to this monogram.

Thank you guys.
Paolo, the Arii's Porsche has a wrong shape. That's it.

This is the last update before painting.
The wheel discs was rebuilt. I have used Maserati Merak's discs for this. The inner parts was cutted out and glued to the Porsche's discs.

Looks good Mikhail, the stance and details forming nicely, bravo!

At first: My compliments on the entire build!

The ride height is very nicely done. And thanks to your detailed pictures, it can help me to solve such problems with other builds.

Thank you guys.
I have painted the body and chassis with Sikkens. Some scratches from sandpaper was appeared, so I need to delete them and then to cover the surface with clear. The wheel discs and mirrors have already covered with 2K clear.

...don't you just hate it when a thread makes you want to rebuild your own...?

Awsome paintjob. The body looks stunning.

too nice model in progress.
:D suspect the model is much more nicer than the real car ;)

Thanks to all.
Today I will show you what happened with the body after clear coating. The red colour has appeared on some surfaces (shown by arrows). I think red plastic has reacted with the clear varnish. I have to repaint these places (both sides of the body).

Some parts was painted by semi gloss black. I used a mix of X-1 (black) and X-21 (matt base) from Tamiya.

I have found the steering wheel very close to the Momo Corse installed into the friend's car. It needs just a little corrections.

Finally, the body was repainted and clearcoated.

Not my cup of tea, but your doing an amazing job!

The new paint job looks awsome (again) :) en I love how the steering wheel came up. How did you create the rought surface?

Deathtrap: This is a steering wheel from Revell's Dodge Viper RT/10, and it already have had the rough surface. But it was too rough to my taste. I have added two grooves for the fingers and slightly smoothed the rim surface. Then the steering wheel was painted by airbrush with big distance (about 170-200mm).

The front seats and the rear seat backrest with flocking.

Excellent work my friend.

Wonderful paint !

The flocking have done. Not perfect to me, but good enough. The 1mm flock was used, and I'm not completely satisfy with it. The shorter would be better.

They look a bit big, But nothing to worry about, With the body on you probably wont notice it.

What an outstanding job you've done on this Porsche 924. Your effort is realy paying of. I very much like all the extra work and detail you put in this cruel kit. I love it.
