Tamiya 911 carrera

found this kit in taiwan few years ago, just finished building it.
the kit is basically out of box stock, i added these aoshima wheels.
i also used a power tool to buff out the paint which works pretty well for a frist try with a power tool. the shine is not as good as i want, however this was a test model to use my power tool on.

here some pics:

Amazing shine and super clean build. This turned out very nice. Did you you not accent the panel lines on the passenger side? The driver's side door is very well done but the passenger's side looks different. All in all, a very nice good looking model, great work.

I like the black wheel thing you have going on with it! The paintjob looks great as well!

What power tool are you using, the paint looks great. I like the black wheels too, they look good with the silver paint.
