Tamiya Porsche 911 GT3………one cock up after another!

I very rarely have things on the shelf of doom, a kit is either finished or its so bad its binned!

Started this about 18 months ago……..completed the chassis/running gear…scratched some seat belts…..wheels on……….then kept cocking up the paint job on the shell…………it had 3 trips in the paint stripper before I got bored and threw it back in the box….didnt bin it cos id made such a good job of the chassis,………..found it recently when looking for something else and thought id have another go, only snag was it had to be red since the chassis was already done………..cocked up the paint another 2 times!!,…..so this is actually the 6th attempt and im still not impressed…….up close I can see the dust seeds in the paint but it will do……………the reason the mirrors and front splitter is black is cos I forgot to attach them before I painted the shell and I figured id never get the shade right so black it was lol





 
Paul,
I don't associate Porsche & red! Red being one of my least favourite colours to apply ( despite just finishing the Ferrari F 310 ), it always seems to take more effort to get a good finish, and for some reason it always takes much longer to clean the airbrush afterwards!
