Porsche 356 Photo Etched set available now

I would like to announce the start of a new line of detail products.

gdetailfactory will produce transkits and detail accessories.

The first release is a photoetched detail set for the Fujimi Enthusiast Porsche 356 series of kits. This set has many parts for the 356 Speedster, but it also has detail parts specific to each version of the 356: engine cover grilles for each, two versions of air cleaners, four different steering wheels, logo badges for each version, and much more.


The set is made with a new digital etching technology that increases the detail and accuracy of etched parts. In close up pics, you can see how clean and sharp the etchings are, especially for small parts like bolts and badges. The Speedster badge is particularly difficult to do by standard etching techniques.


If you are interested in ordering, please contact me by PM or email. I also hope to have this product available through online retailers soon.
Price is 18 USD plus shipping (that I expect cheap elsewhere)
More projects are underway!


PS if someone is wondering how I got a so smooth english I'll say..... thanks a lot to my buddy Andy for the (hard) editing job :D

Even more....what's that digital etching thing? I want one too!!!

Fantastic. Now I need to get me.... can't believe I'm saying this.... a Porsche kit? :-)

Very, very nice work my friend!

Thanks guys!
Alex: can't wait to see you over the 356 kit: you'll find the best plastic kit ever!

Jay:digital etching machine isn't a "desktop device" you'll get for the workshop :D, a service done them for me ;), anyway I search more info in the producer's WS and send you a link.

:bananasmi That's cool news, keep me informed when they will be available, I need one!

You 'da man, Dude!! :D

Lovely work and I like your newest brandname/logo also :thumbsup:

Very impressive how you turned your hobby into something this outreaching...You took it to the plate, mate. Impressive - once again! You made going business with this set look like you did it during a night - you announced it and now we have to our pleasure.

Good luck with this and I´m very excited on you next projects...

P.S. since you're doing your own kits, do you have an idea of someone who can print (screenprint) decals for me. I have a few ideas but no address where I can have them printed. somewhere around 100 pieces.

Thanks guys, I aprreciated a lot :)

@Daniel: there are plenty of places where you'll do a job like you say: only they want 250/300 set as a minimal order.
Never find one that will print only one hundred sets: just to set up overlay I guess they some dozens...

Anyway with the scuderia we print at the awesome Cartograf, I guess you'll easily find contact by the website ;)

Very nice.
I hope you release some italian subjects soon.

Wow, these look awesome Gio, beautiful work. Can't wait to see what else you come up with. Have you looked at the rubber-backing technology - would be really nice to not have to clean up the parts after removal.

Beautiful! I definitely need one I’ll PM you, thanks for bringing this to life!

Received my order today, and I have to say that these sets are beautiful!

Grazie Gio! :)

Posts was awesome this time: got feedback that first sets are just received overseas: thanks guys for the support ;)

Beautyfull! the 356 porsche's from Fujimi have been one of my favorite model kits for years! they are precious little gems of modelling to me, now, with these great looking photo-etched parts I believe we're about to see possibly the greatest scale reproductions of the 356 ever! let´s get to work people!:thumbsup:

I received my sets yesterday. They look great. Sharp detail, consistent and even etching, good choice of items to P/E, with options to do several different 356 models.

I also received my sets yesterday and can verify that they do look very nice. can't wait until further pe releases :smile:

I just can't wait to have them on my hands!

And well, tell us, Gio, what is in the plans for the future?

Do you read ANYTHING or do you just look at the pictures?!?!

The author/designer says how to contact him in the first friggin' post!!!! The problem is that, to find that out, you would need to put in a little effort - which is something are repeatedly showing that you are unwilling/unable to do IMHO.

How long did it take to receive yours? I haven't gotten mine yet, getting antsy!!

Hi Giovanni, I have tried emailing and sending a pm via the forum and I'm not sure they have been sent, my 'Sent' items in my messages remains empty.

But like all the other people I'd very much like to buy three or four sets of your photo-etching for the 356 :smile:, so if you are out there reading this please get in touch, either pm or email, or via

Good question. I wrote up a bunch of translated text for this set, but I don't know that I have a copy of the final edit that was meant to be included with the set. I'm guessing you don't have the packing insert with the color pics?

I got nothing at all with the set.

I'm finding it extremely hard to believe that no one here has applied this set to a build. Anyone?? If you received printed instructions could you perhaps pm me a photo?

sorry for late reply: please @sohchx send me a PM with your mail address and I'll send a PDF manual.

Are the 356 photo etched set still available?

Hi Joe: only the "standard" PE set is still available, few sets in the stock left.

UPDATE: the P356 "standard" PE set and the engine cooling fins PE set are right now Out of Stock. On the basis of the request of info/avayability I'll think to launch a new production. Thanks a lot to anyone bought them.

A gentile bump to see if you might have a re-release date?

Any chance on the rb26 rerelease?

Thanks for the bump! :D

Sorry friends, I have hot programs about: I have not received enough requests (totally a few) to start a new production in both items, at the present both products are OOS.

Thanks
gio

I want to hear about these hot projects.

Well... if you can't get hold of Gio's 356 PE set (which is great BTW, I have a few sets myself), KA Models has recently released one not too long ago.
