Porsche Carrera GT

Hi Guys!

Here is my CGT, just finished! Nothing special, completely box stock except for some carpet material on the floor, the magazine in the interior and the license plate. I chose white for the exterior after I was convinced my original idea of gold doesn't look to cool. The interior is brown/black, the rims are dark grey, brake calipers are bright yellow. The kit was the best I've ever worked with, but the decals suck. Probably it was sitting on the shelf of the store for a long time, but it sucks. Except for these, it was a fun to build, the fit was amazing! I highly recommend it to anybody!

Here are pics:










Thanks for watching!

Nice job,I like the White/brown/black rim combo. What was wrong with the decals?

Egad!!! Those are not mold lines on the front bumper and up the front fenders are they?!?!?!?! Be back in 20 seconds - have to look at my kit,....................... Oh man they are! Even all the way back on the sides too?! You did all of that work and didn't sand those away?! Oh man that hurts. Not trying to hurt your feelings as the build looks great, but that is a must.

"Who is sinless throw the first stone" (or at least sound so in italian LOL) said someone cool: and I'm full of modelling's sins LOL

I agree with Enzoenvy BTW, those neat job over panel lines is a shame.

The model is looking great, but I agree on the mold lines. That's a shame.

Yes Guys, you are right as for the panel lines, I simply didn't care for that. My bad! I learned something again! OK, I'm not gonna cure this on the CGT, but will take more care for it on my future builds! Thanks!

As for the decals, a few of them ripped during the installation (the grille-like of the hood), and a few (the meters on the dashboard) just won't stay in place. I lost couple of them. Maybe I did something wrong, I never had a problem like this though on any of my builds before, even it was a Tamiya, a Fujimi or a Revell or AMT kit.

About the mold lines,let's cry togheter after I finished my Xanavi skyline,it was shiny,smooth,but...What the heck is this?! Oh cr@p,i forgot about these mold lines... u_U

I never imagined this car in white, I think it looks great. I did one in Sunset Orange Metallic and came out pretty nice, they are beautiful kits......

Looks good, i wouldn't go with a brown interior like that though, maybe if it was flat. Other than that its a great build.
