Porsche 3.2 engine

Hi all,

For a commision build, I was asked to build a air-cooled engine in 1/24. The man did not have a specific engine in mind, so eventually we agreed on using the 3.2 engine from one of the Fujimi Enthusiast models, in this case the '85 Targa.

A quick shot of the basic Fujimi parts for this engine.

All hose clamps and other fastners were removed and redone using BMF.

Nice work! I like how you've displayed it, hanging from the stand.

Looks good. The factory exhaust, cat, etc. on these is really more of a grey\tan color rather than silver however:
