Re: Porsche 911 GT3

It's a terrific kit, builds up great out of the box. Have fun with it. The body is easy to paint (no sharp corners!), and the fit is perfect. The best advice I can offer is:

1- Strip the chrome of the wheels and repaint them in matte aluminum or similar. The real wheels are brushed alloy, not chrome, and chrome makes this build look very plastic toy-like when done.

2- Go easy on the panel lines! If you're doing the body in something bright (like yellow), often it's best to skip the panel lines all together than make them too dark. Big, black trenches for panel lines is mistake often seen on this kit, and it never looks good.

Otherwise, good luck, have fun, and post your progress!
