Re: Revell (Italeri) Porsche 993 Turbo

What the kit/car needs, is much bigger wheels.
I've already added about 1.5mm to them using a strip of plastic-card wrapped around the edge and (badly) reshaped the wheels themselves but even with those fat tyres, they don't fill the arches properly.

Now that I've called this one finished and committed to these already enlarged wheels, I think that the ones from the Tamiya 996 Carrera are the only ones that properly fit the kit.

By the way, the front off-side wheel doesn't actually float off the floor.
I had positioned the model badly on the curved background and didn't notice until I came to review the photos.
