Post pics of your 58571 Porsche Carrera 911

Recommended Posts

I'm getting one of these and a spare body. In the showrooms I only see nib listings. Surely someone has built one so go ahead and post a pic of your creations

I too would like to see a few of these finished Shodog.

I'm thinking of using the 911 body on an old Cyclone TC chassis for the 13.5t Non Boost class next year!

I saw one in Hamleys yesterday... it does look very good.

Problem is Tamiya have spoiled us with the hard-bodied 934/935 and the amazing detail on the 959 and the excellent feel of the GT2... and TBH this is just missing the excellence that makes them so special.

A great body for the TT-01 to be sure, but the rest of the Porsche range is definitely superior IMHO.

Kit and extra body came in today. Upon inspecting the contents of the kit, I would have to agree with nmjlondon that the chassis is less than stellar. I plan to build it tomorrow

The body has a 251mm wheelbase, far more than the 237mm wheelbase of the porsche GT2. Years ago I bought a TRF415 and tried to use the TA-04ss rear arms and TB05 front arms to convert it to fit GT2 body but failed. I thinking that conversion will fit this body

Pininfarina, I'd agree that the HPI cup racers are awesome. I have a couple of those also.

Blitz that RSR looks super sweet. I like that you used solid colors in the paint, gives it a cool old look

Today I got my set of Correct Model Classic G wheels for my RSR road car. The front wheel is a 3mm offset and 9mm offset on the rear. I really like that old school BBS look to these wheels.

The Fuchs require tedious painting to get them to look as nice as Blitz's. I'm starting to like the silver painted wheel more than the chrome GT2 wheels I used on mine

How did you get the black inserts on the Fuchs Blitz? Looks great, struggled with mine so far.

First i have sprayed the silver areas with chrome effect spray (automotive paint), then i used a fine brush and tamiya x18 semi gloss black for the black areas on the wheelcovers and for the the silver areas on the inside of the wheels which should not be visible.

I like the color and the style.  Paint the filled in areas between the mesh.  Looks so much better.

Gorgeous... such a shame Finelineart is longer about to give us these other options with decals :(
