Porsche Carrera GT
This is the Tamiya 1/24th scale kit, I just finished it last week, in time for Modelfiesta in San Antonio, Texas. I built it pretty much straight out of box, with the exception of the engine cover screens. Rather than the aweful plastic with decal setup from the kit, I used aluminum railroading screen molded over the plastic parts for the screens. I feel this makes it look SO much more realistic.

I got second place at Modelfiesta, the Lexus LFA getting first.

BVC500, the club that hosts Modelfiesta, Alamosquadron from San Antonio, should have their site updated probably in the next week with pics from the show for all categories. You can check http://alamosquadron.com/ and see when they post pics.

Nice build. Try to post pics instead of thumbnails as you will probably get more responses.
