I love porsches. Good looking build so far. I hope I pay enough attention to detail when I do my F1 cars. :)

Thank you for the advice. I found some Grabber Blue Testors that I think I might use.

Nice project, and WOW, seat mounts?!?  

The color choice looks almost spot-on, but issues I've found with the Krylon plastic paint are:

1. the stuff really sticks to plastic (could be an advantage unless there's a problem, like below, and you need to remove it).  The only way I've found to strip it is with sandpaper.

2. it's very hard to get a nice smooth finish, let alone glossy.

I have this, not what I want to use...

I want to use this, but have not seen it yet, not sure if it's the color I'm looking for.

Great job so far. While working on my 1/8 '32 Ford, I've found out that as you want to add detail you have to be more precise in your work. In 1/24 you just have to be "close". In the larger scales, it really has to look like it. Slow but sure does the job. Keep up the good work.

Thank you. By the time I finished my 1/8 Bucket I wanted to stick a M80 in it...

Interested to see this progress.

at least tamiya add more detail to their bigger kits, unlike those mongram 1/12 kits.
