WIP Porsche Carrera GT

[kenyap83]

Hello everyone! After building the 4 little Enzo gangsters. I started on this Porsche Carrera GT after a week of rest and now really taking my time to built them. Following are pictures taken recently on my progress work. Unfortunately I am not able to finish up with the body as I had ran out of TS-13 which is Tamiya Clear. The local shop is out of it too and is awaiting for shipment. No confirmation on when it will arrive but I guess I just have to put the body on hold and work on the other part of the kit.

What a assembley line !
Absolutely fantastic....
One thing though... if you have ref pics of the gt.. there isn't a line where the Tamiya kit body and doors meet.... you'll have to putty them up before painting if its not too late and/or you're going for perfection.
Here's a fair pic:
Click me
Dry fit them and you'll see what I mean.

Keep up the awsomely fantastic good work opcorn:
I'm curious too about the boxes... would you happen to have the item#?

Crazy it may seem after the 4 enzos. the objective is to finish off my stash as soon as possible so that I can buy more. Home Minister (Grilfriend) says "Why buy more? You are buying anymore untill you finish at least half your stash" which is at least 30 boxes.

Jano,
I got the boxes from Ikea in Malaysia. I am sure they have it where you're from.

Cyberkid,
I do have reference pics. I totally understand what you're saying. Before I actully started on this model. I had considered the problem that I may face later when attaching the doors to the body. Because I am using spray can from this built. I am not sure if the paints will reach the hidden area. You know what I mean. Basically, I am partly lazy I hope the thing will be well glues and will bot show too much when I put them together. Thank you for you advise and your attention.

I'm looking forward to see this gang compleeted!

PS: Thanks for the answer regarding those boxes.

I know exactly what you mean... it was hard to get a even coat in there even with an AB after it was puttied.... I had to use a ton of retarder...
Wait a minute!?! Are you telling me everything have done is either by brush or by spray can !?
