Porsche 911 GT3 RS (992) by Tamiya

Finally got fortunate enough to start this project. As a 911 fan, I am really looking forward to this! 

 

Rear set of brake discs. 

 

Rear suspension assembly. 

Attached winglet on the underside. 

Front set of brake discs attached.

A look at the details on the pedals. 

Assembly of the dashboard in the cabin interior. 

Full cabin assembly completed. 

 

A look at the decals. 

After painting white for the primer, body was painted red Tamiya TS-86. 

Preparation for painting the glass parts. 

Front bumper assembly and decals. 

Rear cover and brake lights on. 

Front deflectors and grill on. 

Rear bumper assembly and number plate decals. 

Headlight sub assembly and decals. 

Headlight assembly went smooth and easy. 

Rear view mirror sub assembly.  

Front windscreen assembly with wipers. 

Front bumper and winglets assembly. As everyone stated already, straightforward assembly by Tamiya. 

Rear tail light painting took a long time but looks alright I think. 

Tail light assembly at rear with the very cool 3D Porsche logo. 

Side mirrors decal and assembly. 

Took a moment to complete the rims and tyres. 

Glass and mirrors are on. 

 

All complete aside rear wing and side vents/winglets. Ready for marriage! 

Wheels are on and finally the car is coming together. 

Just wanted to point out the Nürburgring track decal on the sides for anyone interest in these decals. They are really a pain to place properly as once on the body, it will lose the shape and you have to then figure out the track layout yourself! I had to look at the track map online 🙂 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here we have it then! I think considering the short time I had, it went well. Enjoyed all the small details in the kits, such as the side mirrors, tail lights and the 3D Porsche logo at the back and more!
