I'm really sorry if all of the images are to big :rolleyes:

Very nice work.First proper red one I've seen and it suits the car very well.

Very smooth and beautiful. Love the color on the GT.

Ro

Italian red on a German supercar?
Looks great! I agree, the first proper red one I have seen too...
Very clean finish, makes me want to own one myself (the model, can't afford the real thing...yet :lol:

Hello, welcome.

Great finish on that paintwork and an overall, very clean build. I'm getting very jealous seeing all these perfect looking paintjobs when I'm struggling with constantly burning through my paint layer.

Ouch it's HOT! Very neat job! Just curious, did you paint the interior w/ airbrush? It just looks very neat before my eyes. Cheers.

Hi stradlegroove, thanks for the comments and yes I painted the interior with airbrush.

Cheers

Beautiful build!! I guess the hobby hasn't died in Indo yet. Keep it up!

Hi,
Fantastic job! Very beautiful build, but I miss the seat-belt.

this is one super clean build!
very nice & sharp looking...
i'm no fan of porsche but the build has to be commendable!

great job!
cheers!:popcorn:

It looks very hot in red, your work is awesome. Still I think some charcoal interior would have looked better with the red body!

Very tidy and well done.

Very good choice of color. Your GT look awesome!!! Very nice built!

Nice, love the paint.

Thanks for all the comments guys.. I'll post another project soon. Just too lazy to set up the photo base and take the pictures.. What a bugger..ha.ah.:banghead:

cheers

Hi ddtham.. the hobby hasn't died yet in Indo. Just we don't have many serious car modelers. Or keen enough to do research of the car even its only OOB build. Thats why I joined here. Hopefully I can get better in modelling

Hi Bud,

That's great to hear. When I left 7 years ago, there was no interest in the hobby at all.

I believed AF is the best place to hang out as car modelers, I've been trading stuffs with plenty of members here more than I can count.

What's your next project??

Good luck!

Hi ddtham, actually our hobby quite thriving here 7 years back. we had local competition sponsored by Toy' R' Us in 2001, in 2000 at P&P hobby shop. Then I went overseas for couple of years, when I'm back, we had annual competition / exhibition at P&P hobby shop. we'll have another one just in one month time ( around mid Dec ), so I have 1 project that I'll submit. its just R-35 standard.

I'll post the WIP soon, when I'm not lazy taking the pictures along the way the process.ha.ha.ha :grinno:

Cheers

Wow,

I can't believed there are so many contests which I'm unaware of. But then again I lived in Sbaya, maybe that's why :D

Post your WIPs, I'm looking forward to it, and take lots of pics at the contest, if it's not too much of a hassle :D :D

It's great to meet fellow indo modeler at an international forum.

Looking forward to your other projects!

Its always nice to see a carrera gt build, put 2 pics of it in the porsche meet thread!! Nice color choice also along with shine.

I just noticed that you glued the doors on and filled the joints before painting, right?
