Beowulf's Porker 911 *** finished***

Post by Beowulf Shaeffer »

bit late to the party i know but i plan on doing this

1/24 Fujimi offering of the Porsche 911 Carrera 4


not sure if ive ever done a Fujimi kit before, im not that impressed with this one due to flash and not a lot of detail but it does give the option of right or left hand drive dashboard. it might be slow going on this as i have something else on the go at the same time which is demanding some attention :-D very rare i have more than one kit on the go at once

Some of the Fujimi kits are former motorised toys of the Scalecraft class. The E21 BMW 3 series is of that ilk, and it sounds like your 911 may be. Their GT40 kits are very good though.

Welcome to the GB. As you're slightly later starting the lack of detail may work in your favour.

Apparently, black and beige is the epitome of good taste.
