Porsche 912

I built this for a friend who wants a real 912 but will never own one. I combined, inexpertly, a Fujimi 356 and 911 to make an approximation of a 912. Consternation and aggravation are what I got for my efforts, but my friend is very happy with it. I made some interior junk because I figured he'd need plenty of repair and maintenance information as well as maps of the North Jersey/New York City areas, which are covered with extremely dense road networks as anyone who has lived or drive there can attest.

Well done.

It is very interesting project! Really your work is very similar on 912!!!! You can show intermediate photos of work-wip? What 911 has served as the donor for your model?

Good looking built. However I must say that I find the paintwork a bit dull. Maybe it's the pictures. What paint did you use?

All in all a good model and up to the next one.

Ketje, it is meant to look like it does. The paint matches photographs of a real 912 that were sent to me by my friend. The paint is Tamiya TS-48 Gunship Gray with TS-13 Clear. It is a very flat paint that doesn't gloss up really easily, but I did get what I was looking for. I'm sure it could be glossier with more clear and polishing.

I love it! I have wanted a 912 myself, but I too will never have one. Where did you get the 912 emblems? I have a 911 and several 356's that I can use for the 912, but I have never seen any of the emblems.

Very, very nice touch, the thing of the maps and the maintenance manuals. Where are the item number for the emblems, I guess they are the Hobby Design's, but, don't know which one.

I really like it! The maps and assorted items scattered throughout really add to it.

I like all the aftermarket details like books and map.

OK, now I know this. Well done.

Fantastic build! There's something very pure about the look of the early 911 & 912 :)
