Well, since the Chevelle didn't fare well with my buff and polish I stripped her and have it re-painted already so I thought I would work on this till the paint cured on the Chevelle.
IT is the Fujimi Porsche 928 GT:

I will not be adding the funky wheels:

Instead I have decided on the 18" RUF's by Fujimi:

I've got the chassis painted and finished right now. There are two shots, 1 w/flash and one w/o flash:
http://www.hickorytech.net/~batsonx5/928gt1.JPG
http://www.hickorytech.net/~batsonx5/928gt2.JPG
The body has been primered in white and scuffed with 1500 grit to smooth out the bumps. The final color coat will be Champagne Gold:

The discs have been painted with testors aluminum buffing paint and flat red on the calipers:
http://www.hickorytech.net/~batsonx5/928gt4.JPG
The interior is going to be somewhat plain on this one so I didn't bother to shoot it yet as it is about 50% complete. I sprayed it with Classic black and went over it 5 minutes later with lusterless clear to give it that leather sheen.
Input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!! :feedback:

Wow, the rims look cool, and you get a pic with the body? The gold body should look good when it's painted!

Looks pretty good so far, keep the progress pics coming.

Agreed.

Thanks guys.
Here is the paint. She is curing right now.

It is a lot shinier than the picture shows. Again, the paint is Testors Champagne Gold. Something a little different.
Hopefully another week she'll be done.
Thanks

That color looks great on that car, good choice. Any updates on the interior?

Well, as I stated before it is really plain. The ref. pics I have looked at make it seem pretty bare as well.
Since it is a curbside, I haven't put a lot of effort in the interior, but if you have some better ref. pics I could use I may be inclined to get it to stand out a little more. I know there are a few buttons to paint red and that is really about it. Here is a shot for ya:

Great color! Makes me want to make my own version. lol! Just a suggestion... if possible use the wheel set from a Tamiya GT2, it'll look much better. :screwy:

Thanks for the suggestion on the wheels, but, Iam going to be brutally honest. I absolutely hate those wheels. More so than the kit supplied wheel.
The wheel I want or wanted would have been the regular 928 wheel, but they haven't got any. The RUF is by far the better choice in my opinion.
Thanks for the suggestion though.
UPDATE: I've sprayed the car in Testors Pearl Clearcoat. All I can say is WOW, it really looks good now! A quick buff and it should look even better:
http://www.hickorytech.net/~batsonx5/928gt7.JPG
I apologize for the picture. I will have to use a different color background to bring the color out.
This is about all I will have until my wheels arrive. As soon as the clear cures I will get the window frames painted, which will be a difficult task unto itself.
Again, thank you for the comments.

Its looking better everytime I check this topic, keep it up. Your right about the interior, I checked and I could find much more then a few red buttons on the center console. Are you still painting the wheels gold or will they be some other color?

No gold wheels. I think it would look really cheesy.
I'm going to give the RUF wheels a satin style finish.
Thanks for the comments!
