Finally got some pics taken!!! This is my Porsche 911 Turbo from Monogram. I decided to try my skills at customizing so I turned it into more of a GT2/RSR Porsche. This model had a lot of firsts for me. First time using putty, first time using aftermarket wheels, and first time scratch building engine and interior parts. Anyways, the model was sprayed with Tamiya's TS-42 light gunmetal. Here are the modds:
- Fujimi BBS RS metal wheels
- suspension lowered and narrowed to fit wheels
- scratch-built turbo, intercooler, exhaust, piping for i/c and turbo
- aluminum exhaust pipe
- new racing seats with Modelers photo-etched racing harnesses
- stripped interior (back seats replaced with metal sheets)
- scratch-built rollcage
- scratch-built front bumper
- scratch-built antennae and windsheild washer nozzles:iceslolan
- scratch-built tail lights (because I wanted to have clear back-up lights and amber turn-signals I had to scratch-build the corner tail lights. Stupid Monogram molds them in red:banghead: )

Nicely done! A great result from a kit that ain't all that bad.
Especially at its price compared to a Fujimi Enthusiast series kit.

Everything else looks good.
The only thing that looks flawed are the intercooler piping.
Maybe I'm wrong but it looks to fat.

Like I said this was my first time at customizing so the scale is a little off.
