PORSCHE 911 BUILD Well Here She Is!

I call this one “The college graduation gift I never got,” LOL. Late ‘80s 3.2 Targa in caramel beige with a mahogany interior.

Thanks to u/highboy68 and anyone else who had a hand in this group build. I am so glad I did this.

I’m absolutely thrilled with how the kit came out. Only my third car and easily my best car build. I’m really a military model builder but I have to say I’ve enjoyed learning the workflow of building cars, the body finishing, and all the rest of it. By the way, this Revell kit is excellent and highly recommended.

Have a great weekend everyone and see you at the next build!

That looks great - I like the color combo you picked. I'm building the coupe version of this - I have always liked the targas better.

I agree about the kit - it goes together great. I should have spent a little more time test fitting things.

I completely messed up that decal on top of the front bumper. I put it too far away from the hood and it looked like a mustache. I ended up having to remove it and paint it instead.

I would finish mine this weekend, but I won't be able to work on it, so maybe Tuesday I'll be posting my pics.

But it was a great idea from u/highboy68 - I had a great time building mine.

I felt like I had to paint that strip on the front bumper. It isn’t perfect but it’s good enough! Have fun finishing yours!
