Fujimi Porsche 964 Carrera 2

Well, after a couple of years of this one kicking around the stash, and a few times trying to trade it away, I finally gave in and decided to build this. Figured it would be a nice easy kit to help me ease back in to building after surgery.

It’s a pretty basic kit. It’s curbside, with minimal interior details. 

I didn't go crazy with this one. Actually,didn't add anything but glue and paint. Decided to do something a little different for colours; inspired by the Porsche Exclusive program. For the right amount of money, you send a colour sample, and Porsche will paint the car in that colour. For an equal amount of money, send a sample, and the leather will match your sample perfectly. I used to work for the local dealer, and we had ordered a few Exclusive cars. I wanted to build something that looked like it could have come through that program. I went with the totally adventurous and never before seen silver on the exterior. The paint is actually Tamiya's Gloss Aluminum, which is a pretty close match to Porsche's Arctic Silver. The interior is two colours, Tamiya's XF25 (Light Sea Grey) and XF23 (Light Blue.)

Just like a real 964, the front bumper slats were warped, and also like the real thing, it's an easy fix.

 

Anyway, here we are. Mirrors are a little off, but that's fine. Not my best work, but looks okay to me.

Thanks!

There's a seperate front air dam/trim piece that goes on the bottom of the bumper. So after attaching that and waiting for it to dry, I used a little glue and little time holding things in place with tweezers to straighten out the slat.

Great looking Porsche Dan!
