Nice! Very cleanly done. Looking forward to seeing the body, too. What color are you painting it? Had any fit problems? I've heard this kit has one or two.

If you're interested in a suggestion, you might consider applying a wash of thinned black/dark brown to the engine to highlight some of the molded detail. This engine has alot of fine engravings, like the Porsche emblems on the cylander heads and the cooling fins on the enderside that could probably be beautifully emphasised with a bit of wash. It doesn't really make the engine look dirty, but it does give it alot of depth.

It's the Tamiya 1/24 kit. Someday (hopefully soon!) I'll get around to building one.

Re: Porsche 959 build up.
Sorry the kit is a Tamiya 1/24 scale Porsche 959, circa 1990...

I have applied a mild amount of weathering to the engine, including a new oil filter and engine decals. I think the pictures make it look deceivingly toy like.
