Hi Guy,
don't you think it's forbidden to take pictures of a Porsche flyer and post them as your model?😉
Fantastic finish! Looks like the real one in an automobil show! 👍

Yet again Guy, Astounding!!! Love it, top job...
How do you manage to get such a perfect finish... every time???
Have you ever had to strip a model and start again???😢

@Steve: of course I have, many times even. Actually, the other Porsche 911 GT3 I finished a few weeks ago had been in the brake fluid for over a year... So please don't think I never make a mistake, I just don't mention them often in the building reviews😉

Shucks!!!
I was hoping you were perfect...
Just joking, 😄
Interesting to know it can stay in there (brake fluid) that long!!!

I just thought the same Steve😉 That gives me little hope not to give up for some models with ruined finish. Thanks Guy! Beautiful finish!

Yes Stefan!!!
I've kept styrene/resin body parts up to a week in brake fluid, but I've never left them longer than that for fear of damaging the part/s...
Guy has now suppressed that fear... It's a good thing to know!!!

Watch it though with resin body parts!!! Plastic is no problem, but resin can react in a very funny way when put in brake fluid. I enclose a picture of a model that 'exploded', caused by brake fluid!

So please don't trust brake fluid for resin!

You produce the best scale glossy finish I've seen! I must learn this from you - Vulcan mind meld perhaps?

@Bill...
Yoda's force, has more clarity, bit like comparing HD with 625 TV wise, in other words Vulcan is more dated😄

The trick is NOT spraying lots of coats, but it's POLISHING between all coats. There is no such thing as spraying a perfect finish without polishing it. This is true in the real car world, and it's true in the model car world as well😉

Polishing with something like a rubbing compound? Or fine sanding with MicroMesh?

The whole ten yards: first I start polishing with Micromesh 1500, then 1800, 2400, 3200, 3600, 4000, 6000, 8000, 12000. Next I start polishing with Tamiya Compound 'coarse', next 'fine' en 'finish'. Finally I give the whole body a treatment with Tamiya Modeling Wax.
If the fresh painted coat is quite smooth, you can leave behind the Micromesh 1500 and 1800, and start off with the 2400. Also, I don't give every layer a Modeling wax threatment, only the last layer.

Very nice 964 and you realised a paint finishing as I like!
