Looks pretty basic. But all the parts where they should go.

looks awsome, deffinently need to get one, thinking of painting it Cobalt Blue, I notice that the kit must be euro spec. since the North American Version does'nt have a rear wiper, buts thats an easy fix, and i'm sure the U.S. is'nt Fujimi's bread and butter

About bloody time! After my recent 964, I'm looking forward to more cool curbside Porsches.

Cobalt blue would look great on this one. Yet another reason to lament CobraColor's demise....

Strange bend there in the drive shafts. Part A9, step 2. I think that shaft is supposed to be straight and the CV joint is supposed to bend....

that'll be a worthy addition to the Tamiya 911 carrera and Tamiya Boxster and Tamiya Carrera GT

You can have a rear view wiper on the Cayman in the U.S. It's one of many options you can add.

The Boxster (and Cayman)'s CV joints are bend forward a bit. The illustration might be exaggerated to show it more clearly. You can see the actual part here.

What I don't know is Part A12 in step 1.

Anyway, the overall quality of the kit seems excellent. Thin wheel spokes are definitely plus, as I still remember their dreadful LM-GT4 wheels. I hope Fujimi release a whole bunch of variations with different wheels and optional packages. (and also the 2nd gen Boxster to go with its coupe counterpart)

Yeah man. Looks to be halfshafts for AWD. Which the Boxster/Cayman doesn't have b/c of the engine layout. Hmm..

@#$% red plastic. Hopefully in one of Fujimi's signature many iterations, it will come in white or grey.

I want one as soon as possible.

I have started this kit.














It's a nice kit, very nicely moulded with a lot of detail. No problems yet.......

It was originally Dec.26, but now, the most up-to-date release date I know is Jan 26th, the same date for 512BBi.
FYI, 512TR reissue: Jan 12 and 356GT4/BB: Feb 26.

They are Aoshima wheels. I de-chromed the centres.

[manu80]

Mine is on it's way too.
