Porsche 914/6 GT

[afxracing]

Hello, this is my first every thread on this forum.

I have always loved Porsche and one of my favorites is the 914/6 GT. It has always frustrated me that no kit of this car existed. So I decide to take matters into my own hands and create one. Here is how I did it.

This is the kit I started with:

Fortunately I was able to acquire a used body and use the removed the fenders:



After cutting them to the approximate shape I attached them to the extensions:


After sanding them to shape and some filler to blend them into the body here is how they turned out:

My vision is to upgrade the Revell kit by adding parts from Fujimi's Enthusiast Porsche 911 kit. So with that in mind I start to upgrade the chassis.

Thank you for the comments. Since the rear wheel wells where enlarged I had to rebuild the entire trunk (boot) area.
