Thats a nice looking porsche you got the:)
Color seems to suite the car as well, and the photos are verry well done.

Hope to see from you in the future:grinyes:

Really very nice Portalus! Fantastic and inspiring color choice: can't decide if I like more opened or with the roof. I don't understand at 100% the color combo with seats but seems that in some way it work... may be another ulphostery color would be beter to me, black gray or blu: but I like the brave choice of brown-orange. At last a fantastic neat build. A++

BRAVO!

This is a model forum, not for real cars! LOL
Really, that thing is awesome! Very well executed, built and photographed. I found this on ebay a while back:

Great job and vibrant color!

How were the SMS Carbon Fiber decals? It looks for the other forum that you had to make modifications??

What color is that? it looks like a mix between Camel Yellow and Orange, I really like it. The CF and interior looks great as well.

I've had this kit for some time and it's hard to find time for building it because other projects. After seing builds like this one, I'm sure this is why most model builders start adding new builds to their curent projects. It look so nice and make you want to start that same kit. Basically, I'm saying your Carrera GT came out great.

Hello everybody.
Thanks a lot for all positive feedback.
The body color is paint Gunze C - C058 Orange Yellow
I used SMS CF. At first I made a xero copy of them, then I cut out the copied pieces and compared it with kit details. After that I make corrections and make a new masks. I copied them on CF sheet and cut out and apply on the model.
I have also used some pieces from SMS PE set – some details were useless.
Seatbelts is S27 set.
The Porsche logos are from MSM.
The tire valve are from ABER – not Sakatsu as on the first picture.
Photos: Konica Minolta Dynax 5D – kit and a set of shadow less cabin, 2x150W halogen, 3x60W lamp – somewhere I have a photo of the “atelier”.

Fantastic finish to the paint work, well done!

That is absolutely outstanding!
There is not a single flaw I see or anything I would change. Absolutely awesome! The lines may be a little dark, but I do not think they are overpowering.

This is great!

Did you make the shocks or are they from a kit?

Excellent work,
Andy

This is a real good example of a well build kit. Awesome work of art! I can wait to build mine. I too had thoughts of the same colour before I saw you post.
