Porsche Boxster Special Edition
I have decided that this will be my next project. Now all I need is to decide on what colour to paint it. I have already made up my mind that the 19" special edition wheels will be painted Gold maybe with a silver trim ring.
Currently I am leaning towards painting it in yellow as most pics I have seen have it in this colour. I must alos try to find some carbon fibre decals in New Zealand so I can give it a carbon fibre centre console which I saw on a Porsche in a magazine today (looks very tidy indeed). Does anyone have any good ideas for this kit? any advice will be taken and delt with appropriately

I know someone with a yellow one, and it looks really good in real life.
Couldn't tell you which yellow it is, but its not bright, sort of a mustard yellow.

the first time I saw one in real life was when I took my sister to the airport, there was one parked in the Valet area and I though it looked kind of cool. Should have taken some reference pics.

sir tazdev,
how 'bout paint'n it SILVER BLUE and for the interior paint it dark blue. to be somewhat different from the crowd, cuz most modelers will probably paint it yellow, drk blue, red or black. and the real thing you can custom order it from porsche in any color you like. nwayz jus a thought... lates

Mine is almost finished
I'm building right now Tamiya's Boxster special edition. I had the intention to paint it light blue metallic.
I first primered the body parts in two layers after that I painted it with car laquer gloss black en then I sprayed two layers of the Light blue metallic nail polish over it. The color turned into light green metallic. It surprised me a bit but I like it very much. The interior I painted black with Tamiya X 32 Titanium Silver. I painted the rims Tamiya X 31 Titanium Gold. Believe me the color suits the car very good. When the car is finished I will take some pictures of it so I could post them to this forum. I hope it helps you to make up your mind. Take care. JP

As promissed
As promissed this afternoon, a picture of the finished Boxster special edition.
This green color was created by spraying light blue metallic nail polish over gloss black. JP

Yeah!
Nice color combo, and good things sometimes happen by accident. Now I'm seeing yet another model here that I must build...
Show some more pics!

another picture of the Boxster
Another picture of the Boxster. As you could expect from Tamiya this model goes together very well. Cut all the parts, put them inside the box, shake the box and there is the model.
