Finished - Porsche 944 Turbo

Here is the Hasegawa/Revell of Germany 944 turbo finally finished.

I started by sanding off the rough gravel protectant off of the lower half of the doors, and rescribed the door panel lines. The headlights were designed to be able to pop up and down, but the panel line gap out of the box was uneven and looked pretty bad. So, I glued the headlights in, and filled the panel line and rescribed it also.

I used Cobra Colors Lamborghini Bianco Ballon on this car. It is a cream colored pearl white.

The kit provided some hoses for the various tubes and turbo piping. The engine and chassis built up with no drama.

The interior is very nicely detailed, and was painted cream and tan.

Overall this was a very nice kit. The rear glass gave me a bit of a hard time, but with some patience turned out to work just fine.

Thanks for looking. :)

Fantastic work as usual! well done mate..

Very nice! Aside from what you've described above, was it built straight out of the box?

Great colour, pally!

Nice to see this one built up as cleanly as this!

go on porscheing!

Wow, Matt, finished it already? It's superb, looks subtle yet powerful.

What were the dramas with the rear window and how did you solve them?

Beautiful, Matt! The color is just silky, and the overall build is just about spotless. :)

Thats a nice build!

I got two of these kits in the "pipeline" so I would also like to know what the problem was with the rear window, and how to solve it.

Beautiful!!:eek: I must have that paint!!

Keep up the great work Matt!

Looks great. Clean as usual. I especially like the interior paintwork, the color are perfect for the car and the masking looks stellar.

thats as good as seckshttp://forums.offtopic.com/images/smilies/boink.gif

Nice work!

That paint job is top notch!

After seeing this today, pictures dont do it justice. Stunning work as always. The paint is flawless, you can almost taste the color.

Thanks for the great comments.

AmazonSprite - This was a boxstock build. Aside from the minor changes I mentioned to the body.

The problem with the rear glass is that there really isn't a whole lot of surface that touches between the glass and body. I typically use Kristal Kleer to attach glass and it works best with good surface area to keep parts together. This glass attaches from the bottom, and the weight of the glass, and bumping it during final assembly kept knocking it loose. I removed paint and primer from the inside of the body and attached the glass with regular modeling cement. Problem solved, and I luckily didn't make a mess of the glass.

Wow, nice execution of the RoG 944. I like, what you did to this one.

Nice work, Matt. Very refined looking with that color on it.

clean as hell and it looks great!

Amazing build, great work.

:iagree: This kit seems to be much better than Italerie´s 944.

Excellent pearly finish. Rest of the car is typically excellent too! :)
