1970, after the Army I got "Lucky"(?) and worked on 5 - 10 year old "E Types" as a Junior Jag mechanic. I switched to Fiats, then SAABs and finally Porsches (WTF, man, get on with it). This build is BEAUTY. As always, it's about the details. If you had a nick name it would be Mister Detail. Again, GREAT JOB. Thanks for your efforts and sharing - "Mister Detail".

Very nice work. Like you, I’ve figured out that there are many ways to do black that all look different. There is gloss black, semi gloss black, and flat black, but each look different when you paint over them with a gloss or dull coat. You could have emailed Revell and got a new windshield surround. I’ve done that a couple of times, and I’ve had my replacement part in two weeks.

I built this kit last year. It was one of the older issues that had the jet pilot on the box art. It has a lot of detail and was designed to have a folded down convertible top or a removable hardtop. I seem to remember that there was also a version (years ago) that was the same body style that you have here but the rear hatch was designed so that it would open. That is the one I would like to continue to look for.

A very good review and build Chris, thanks. I have this and the roadster to build. Revell DE design engineers need to be commended on the parts detail and sub assys ie in building this kit, one can see the structural design of the prototype. I like the way you can insert the engine before the frame too. I always wonder what the advantage is of a same colour body paint is over just glossing the moulded colour? What never ceases to crack me up on kit builds is when you open them up, it's just a sea of plastic but as the painting & detailing takes place, the whole thing comes to life which as an engineer, I find very rewarding. Fired up to build mine now. PS I have also bought all three new Revell DE Porsche G models as they are all new tooling and their artwork detail looks similarly impressive.

I'll paint the body color usually because the plastic color is sort of a bland or faded red, it's also somewhat translucent. The paint brightens it up and makes it opaque.
