Hi everyone! Here’s my build of Porsche 911 GT3 by Tamiya. This model was built during a local model forum contest, and I could use only one detail-up set due to the rules of the contest. So I chose seatbelts set made by USCP.

 

 

 

 

Contents of the kit and an additional valorisation kit:

 

 

 

 

 

All parts were painted with grey Tamiya primer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The body was cleaned from all moulding artefacts and defects.

 

 

 

 

 

The body was primed with white Tamiya primer and painted with TS-47.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Holes in the seats were made for seatbelts:

 

 

 

 

Due to contest rules I couldn’t use flock, and black semigloss paint wouldn’t make desired effect of fabric on the floor. I used Tamiya primer (87042) to make texture. I sprayed it with dry coats until desired effect was achieved. After that I painted it all with TS-29.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Seats were painted with TS-29 and sprayed with matte clear TS-80 over it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With RP TOOLZ piercer I cut decals of the dashboard.

 

 

 

 

Dashboard was painted with semigloss TS-29. Buttons were painted with black gloss enamel paint.

Afterwards I continued working on interior parts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Assembled interior.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Brake discs were painted with the TS-83.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For exhaust pipes I mixed AK Xtreme Metal 479 Aluminium with 472 Gold and TS-83.

 

 

 

 

Chassis finished.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Totally finished model.
