So this is one that has been in my "stash" for a long time, and am a little excited to start on this one.
I have done one before, but it was the full race version, where-as this one is the road version.
Couldn't wait, and had to open the box. Now I need to re-organize my work area, and make sure I have the space to lay everything out.
A little stumped as to what color would look best on this one.
I like the white, but I have a Porsche 959 in the collection already that is all white.
Hmmm.... might have to think about this one for a while.
Not a whole lot of info to be found on the correct colors.
This generation was known internally as the 993 model. The last of the air-cooled porsches.
Originally based on the 911 Turbo, this version removes the all-wheel drive system in order to meet racing homologation rules. Creating a significantly lighter overall vehicle. The final year, 1998, the power output was up-rated to 450 HP. In car that weighs only 2850 lbs.
So it weighs about the same as a Honda Accord, but has more than double the horsepower!!
Here's a quick picture of it's track only sibling, decked out in Taisan livery.
Could have used another coat of clear, but I kind of liked the "stickers" look of all the sponsors.
I am anticipating progress on this newest one will be a little slow, as I want to do it justice. Though once I have a color selected, at least it will start to look like it is moving.
purple?

Sorry think this one is going to be dark grey.
DeleteAlways liked the "seal grey" Porsche color, and think it will look good on this one.
Besides, I already have a purple Porsche in the collection....
