Completed: Tamiya Porsche 959

Just wanted to throw this up before I head off to work, more pictures later when I have the chance to upload them. It's a Tamiya Porsche 959, the kit was 13 years old when I bought it, and sprayed in Alclad II Prismatic Green to Gold paint. The interior isn't my best, and I'll probably fix it later. All and all, a wonderful build for a 13 year old model.

I picked this photo because it really shows the color shifting properties of the paint.

looks good! haven't seen anything like that on a porsche before. lets see some interior pics.

only bad thing with the paintjob is the metal flakes look REALLY big.

cool color!

wild color! :D

Love the paint but not with that red.

As I said before, I hate the interior. I'll repaint it when I finish with my other models. But here are some more picture of the Porsche:

I really like the light in that last picture, how it's just a strip in the middle of the car. Also, look through the vents on the rear bumper in the third picture, you can spot a turbocharger :)

So, in recap, I'm taking comments on the exterior and suggestions for a new interior scheme.

That paint would look grooovy on an old Impala lowirder, well pimped. Nice to see the 959 in another colour other than the usual boring silver grey, good work.

Thank you. Since those pictures were taken, I redid the interior to make the car look a lot less like a watermelon.

i should paint the outside rather than the inside...i really dont like the color sorry.....plaese dont be mad or something....its still nicely done though.

Don't like the interior or the exterior? Because like I said, I re-painted the interior tan.

yes...flat black paint if u want it like that.

... are you suggested I completely redo this model or something? Because dude, Alcad II Prismatic isn't just paint you dip to get rid of. It's BLOODY expensive stuff.
