Porsche 959 progress

Priming body after removing old (Testors) primer with CSC
Testors primer sucks. Never use it! Tamiya's much much better

Thinking about respirator mask before dying from brain and lung damage

what color is it going to be? and when are you going to get an avatar?

Which car are you asking? :)
911GT3 already painted in chrome yellow
959 supposed to be italian red/beige tan interior
and Alpina - mica blue or another blue

Sanded with 1000grit and started with second coat of primer.
That damn ugly Porsche to hard to cover!!!
Maybe becouse it's curved body shape.
I guess BMW body much easier to prepare, it's panels have almost flat surface

I've bought wired distributor kit for engine dressing. But this distributor doesn't fit. So I took 3 wires together and wound it around distributor to secure it. Anyway it is not visible under the hood. I think to add A/C hoses to fill some emptiness in engine bay.

I assembled it without glue to check ride height

Here's some details which hardly will be visible:
front suspension with brakes, exgaust and air box

It looks to be coming along very nicely! :D

Engine wiring hardly can be seen but it's there!

I used carpet simulator for interior but it need to be redone.
Beige tan leather for seats (1:XF53 buff + 1:X2 white gloss +

According directions in the box car should have gloss aluminium body and hull red inside. I decided to choose my own color scheme
and body supposed to be italian red like most Ferraris :)

Looks really good! That simulated carpet is a really nice touch.

Coming along well.
I just got this kit today and it appears to be a really great looking kit.

Could you take a pic down low and side-on so i can check out the ride height.
Thanks

Not soon 'cause I have no digicam. Here's pic I found and it sits pretty low
