Porsche 918 Martini 1:24 Revell

Just finished the Porsche 918 Weissach Packet in Martini Look. Kit is Revell in scale 1:24.
On the whole, a nice kit with some small faults. Biggest is that rims are to small again. I made new rims in CAD and printed these at Shapeways. The mesh over the engine bay was reproduced with a decal in gold. Therefore i made a new one from a HobbyDesign mesh (HD05-0007). CF decals are HobbyDesign (HD04-0107) because decals from kit was to grey and pattern to rough. Painted in Tamiya TS-26 pure white and clear coat Gunze TopCoat.
























Some pictures from progress:













Greetings
Micha

Looking damn good in Martini colours and not in that awful matt black Martini livery. Nice 3D work on the wheels. It really raises the quality of the model.

Re: Porsche 918 Martini 1:24 Revell

Great build with a lot of nice detailing! Great work on the wheels.

One question though.

I am going to be building this kit soon, and got a head up from someone saying not to glue the bumpers on before paint, because the chassis would not fit otherwise. But by the looks of it youre where glued pre paint correct?

Re: Porsche 918 Martini 1:24 Revell

Beautiful work Micha. The wheels and brakes are 1000% better than the kit supplied parts. Did you use the stock tires or another set?

To me , some of the pics aren't working, would love to see the rest.

Looks awesome! How did you contour the screen and have it keep its shape?
