Tamiya Porsche 959
I finished this one today (26 April 2010) after just a couple of weeks. I wanted to try to build a model quickly without getting hung up on minor things but still to have it come out looking pretty clean. I chose this kit because it has a fairly low parts count and I figured I wouldn't have to bother adding any detail. I added photoetch brake disks, a couple of hose clamps, and that's it. Paint is Tamiya maroon (TS-11) with rubber black (TS-82) window trim, several varieties of black for the interior, and Alclad chrome in the headlight buckets. Not much else to say. Almost ruined the paint job trying to accent the panel lines, which would have set the project back, but I was able to overcome that problem by adding more paint!
Comments, criticisms, helpful suggestions are all welcomed.
