Pete75 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) Here's my third scale model, which I've just finished. I was lucky enough to drive a few laps in a 996 Turbo at a track day many years ago - 420 bhp, 4WD, still grinning ?? - and the GT3 is visually close enough to keep the embers of my memory burning! It’s painted with Tamiya rattle cans: the body colour is TS-17 with TS-13 clear lacquer. Whilst it’s a fun kit to do, I didn’t enjoy having to fully strip & restart the bodywork near the end of the build! (For anyone interested, the saga is on my WIP thread.) Thanks for looking ?

lghtngyello03 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Pete this is an awesome looking build. I have been wanting to build one of these myself. Great job on the striping and repaint by the way..could never tell there was a mishap. I have done this myself, and you are right, it takes numerous attempts to get it all off, even with brake fluid.

Thanks Scott ? If you do get around to doing this one, I'll be first in line to see it: the Nissan you've just done is really something! Good to hear from with someone who knows the ordeal/stench of brake fluid stripping ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty92 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 My favorite generation of 911! Very cool build. It’s hard to believe it is only your 3rd model. You look like an old pro! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
