Nice pictures. But be aware, that you have different model types in this album. Your range is before (chrome modell) and after the year (C2 / 964) of the connected Revell kit (G-modell). You mixed up US spec, EU spec and the Convertible, turbo and C2 (964) are also the wrong body and e.g. the rear spoiler is not included or teh "Hackmesser"-rims (picture 😎

Holy moly! That engine looks bad. Dirty and rusty (pay attention to aluminum parts - they don't rust 😉). What story is behind it?

These parts are made by Singer. They are gold plated.

I don't know, what's "Singer" meaning. But that doesn't play a role because you've finished the kit.

What happend to your suspension? Some frends of mine build the Targa as well as the Coupe and no one ever had any problem that the kit doens't sit on all of it's four wheels or that the rear is that high compared to the front.
I'd like to give you two hints:
-> you've used the front end of the US spec lamps but the bumper on the rear has the European plack bumperttes.
-> I'd paint the front spoiler black as well as the rubber thing between the front bumper an hood / fenders. Then the surroundings of the rear view mirrors are rubber too.

Man. That susspension thing suck somehow. That doesn't fit to this nice interior. Btw: how about the engine compartment?

Album info

Another fun build finished in Purpleicious over gray primer. Front wheels turn but even with taking care in assembling the wheel hubs the wheels do not spin. Hopefully that means I don't need to worry about this one rolling off the shelf. The 3.2 coupe went together a little easier only because the windshield frame on the Targa seemed warped. I installed the windshield as best I could after supporting the frame with the corner windows and roof.
