Cool 911 Porsche
I had that one but buggered it by putting wrong clear coat on it.

I start that kit once upon a time. It’s a great kit and your is looking fantastic in black

Now, a question for you boys.....



Anyone ever built one of these RX-7s? Just trying to understand why the fuel tank has been cut off on the side opposite the spare tyre. Unless I am missing something there is no fill in piece that goes in there, there is only one exhaust and that is on the spare tyre side and all the instructions show a larger fuel tank so it has me puzzled, can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks

After finding a good source of instructions and pics of older kits. I found this which may help you. Here’s the link https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/m/10058554

Amazing what you can do with some sun and a day off (and half a can of primer):





Body still needs a few hours work now to smooth everything out and fill a few little holes.

Good to see someone making some progress on the Drift build's

Half a can man I must be wasteful I would have used at least 2 cans.
1 can just for the body stirrer just jokes

Making good progress, looking good so far
