Porsche 911 992 GT3 RS
Yes, again a Porsche from me. :)
This is the brand new kit from KitBox/PzyModel of the 2023 911 GT3 RS. A kit absolutely packed with extras. I was lucky get myself a first batch kit which includes the Combo version of this kit. With that I can build the 'regular' RS or the even more special Weisach one.
This is the kit contents and some promotional pictures.
The resin parts are stunning. I did not find a single air bubble. All details are crisp, nothing bend or broken in transit.
Since I already have build a GT3 RS before (based of the Tamiya GT3) I want this one to have the same color scheme; white with the red accents.
I had doubted between the regular and Weisach one, but since this is the most extreme normally aspirated 911, I'm going to the full mile, so Weisach package it is!
This is the color scheme
And a sample with the Weisach package.
First off... cleaning any left over mold release residue and hit the model with some primer.
Apparently there was still some residue (fish eye), so a bit more cleaning and another bit of primer.
And then the problem with a first batch kit. Apparently they mist 2 panel lines before the model went to the caster. But they resolved that by adding in a PE template to scribe it yourself. A small scratch had to fill, but for the rest it worked perfectly. The body shows the option for the RHD version, but the kit does not support it. So as per the instructions, I willed the holes for the windshield whippers for the RHD one.
