Porsche 928 S4

I just got bored one day and picked up this kit from the pile. It's a simple Fujimi Porsche 928 S4. I liked this car from the beginning but the fittment of the bumpers is very poor. I didn't know if I should sell the kit or give it a try. I decided the last option of course.

I already glued the bumpers to the body and did a lot of sanding en puttywork.

The wheels are from a Tamiya Porsche 911.

Jerez Black from BMW is the color I have in mind.

I like a 928 on those wheels. My non finished 928:

Good luck!

It's not the most exciting Porsche but it's always nice to see more original models being built.
I'm curious to see how it goes with yours.

I recently scribed out the panellines and sanded the body. Today I primered the body and added the Jerez Black!

Later I'll add the logos on the body.

Very nice start on and really interesting subject.

Keep the good work,

I know. But that wasn't possible due the very bad fittment.

Yes, I have spent much time to fit the rear bumper in a right position. Also I have done many corrections on the body, e.g. widened the rear end, increased the hight of rockers, etc. The Italery's Porsche 928 looks much better.

And some clearcoat on it.

After trying to sell my house, vacation, and fishing it was time to get back on the Porsche.

First thing I did was finishing the body. First I polished the paint, added the clearparts and added the big spoiler on the thrunk.

I also did the interior. I filled the back of the seats with milliput and painted the interior with Violet Grey from Zero Paints interiorrange. I added interiorflocking on the floor and rear. Nothing more.

I also removed the chrome from the wheels and repainted them with normal Silver. I added 3D logos from Hobby Design on the centers and clearcoated the wheels. The chassis is very simple. Just two rods to add the wheels, but no suspension or something. I removed the wheelarches and drilled new holes for the rods. This is the easiest kit to lower I think :D

Meanwhile it's finished so I'll upload the pics of the completed model soon.
