Air-cooled GB: Porsche 993 GT2 (Trackday)

Looks terrific

Looking good. I think Andy is right about the tow hook now, the ones he found are better, but no biggie. Is there any point in using Scratch-X? Surely, it is dazzling after the Tamiya finish compound?

Looking great, the shine is terrific!

Yeah, me too. I'll update soon, and show you what I did for mine.

Mark,

To me, the Tamiya compound is not soft enough. So, I can still find micro scratches after polishing, and this is where scratch X comes to play.

I've heard wonderful news about Gunze Polymer Polish though (it's just harder to find in US), so I might switch from Tamiya.

Can't wait to see what you came up with. Luckily my tow hook is not glued yet, so depends on the level of difficulty, I might "steal" your idea

Thanks for the comments and encouragements everyone!

Nice build on this kit... I just bought this kit to build and use as reference for my 1/8 Pocher 993 GT2 conversion. I won't start the Pocher 993 for a while as I am currently building the Pocher F40, which I will have a WIP thread on after Monday when I return home. I really like the color and the paint looks excellent! Since I will probably end up putting my version in a display case on my desk at my shop, I have decided to do mine in plain white. I won't do very much detail past painted detail either. Nice kit and well done on your part...
