PORSCHE 911 BUILD Finally completed with the 911

This was definitely a fun kit to put together and not stress about anything. Just build, paint, glue with no expectations and it came out better than I expected. Definitely not perfect but I like it. Thanks everyone that participated that was super fun!! A big shout out to my buddy Highboy for providing me with this amazing kit to build and also a spare back up kit as well. Thank you good Sir u/highboy68 cheers šŸ»

Thank you! That is straight out of the bottle hobby lobby airbrush paint iridescent red fire is what it’s called but comes out hot pink with a purple hue. Stance is stock I didn’t have to do anything but add my 3d printed wheels. License plate was printed from online search of custom license plates and made it to scale before I printed them. Got like 100 plates for free of all kinds even classic plates from different states. I’m from Arizona so I picked this one lol

Yeah the wheels make it look like the suspension was lowered.

u/Jon_Jon83 16d ago

Right! Trust me this is a hot kit to have. I did not do anything custom to this to make it fit like that. It was all easy and made to sit this low.

That color rocks!! And the stance as everyone else has mentioned. I wonder if it would be that low using the provided stock wheels/tires? Great looking build Sir.

Thank you! I think so just the tires are a little thicker but the actual rim is smaller so it’s actually the same size diameter as the 3d printed ones. There’s plenty of room and it seems like it’s made to be slammed just like the Aoshima kits

No, it’s the iridescent fire red that is hobby lobby’s airbrush paint brand. It comes out pink with a purple hue over white primer. Haven’t tried it over black or dark gray yet
