Cool Operation Porsche Carrera GT Coupe

I have two ideas for the CGT, this is one of them.

I will mold in the Modena roof section, the CGT engine cover will be left off so the engine can be viewed through the rear window.

I will reshape the rear of the side window to mimic the door cove.

Hardly do we get the Carrera GT in 1/24 and somebody's got ideas! Hmm...obviously, it looks a bit odd now, but if you reshape the sweep of the window line, you should be able to make it look natural. The back glass looks like it's too far forward right now, but changing some lines might help. Otherwise, with some work, yeah, I think it could look really smooth! Keep us posted.

Oh, it's going to need lots of tweaking to get it natural looking, I'm just getting started.
