Nice Porsche, very well built! As clean as it needs to be!

Looks great! Most people don't realize how much masking for the black paint you have to do on this kit.

My dad had that car growing up so I know the details on the car and I say you have built a great representation!!!! Awesome job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He also had a 928 that my buddy and I took out on the streets when he was out of town. We were only 15 years old thinking we were pimps cruising around Atlanta in a brand new Porsche!!!! I made chalk lines in the garage to make sure we put it back in the exact spot.

Your build brings back lots of memories.
Very nice!

Agreed!! it was absolutely agonizing. Unfortunately I am a Porschephile and have six more of these in my stash to build, not looking forward to them lol.

Did you airbrush or use spray can? What was your prepping process. I can never get TS-17 to look like that.

Straight from the can this was. I prepped with soap, water, and a green scotchbrite pad, laid down two coats of white primer, three coats of TS-17. Clear is 4 coats of Model master Ultra gloss clear lacquer. I then wet sanded using 4K, 6K, and finally 12,00o paper, polished, then wax.
