Removed the cast-on door handles 

 

Used some from Scale Production instead which I had to modify slightly (left) to accomodate the 964 model of the Porsche 911 

The glass parts from the kit were awful, so I decided to try something new. Sanded and polished the kit part first. 

Made a silicone mold 

Which was used to create a resin master which was used to make own vacuformed windows. Took a lot of tries, but the final result was much better than the kit part. 

Mirrors were repositioned. The original holes were closed with a plastic rod and super glue. The white mirror is a resin copy from a Revell 964, they looked better than from the Fujimi kit. 

The beautiful rims from Scale Production, added some air valves as well
 

Painting process. Used a red primer to make the metallic red paint to glow in all its glory 

Used automotive lacquer. Paint is Velvet Red Metallic color code 81L. Here just the base coat. 

Gorgeous resin seats for Porsche 930 and 964 models from USCP, expensive, but sooo good 

Added some detail as well, like speakers and some door detail
 

The interior was held in a leathery color, with black flocking 

Found this Porsche steering wheel in my spares box. looks better than from the kit 

Made a set of seat belts from various manufacturers 

Seatbelt detail. 

 

Surgical precision was required to thread it all in while attaching the body to the chassis
