Default Got another Maritime Blue Coupe (1:24)

Last Christmas I got this model as a gift and after lots of sitting I finally decided to finish it up this Christmas. It started out as a Speed Yellow Club Sport (I know blasphemy I would change it but I keep all the parts to change it to a Maritime Blue Club Sport someday).

I then took it and started making an exact duplicate of my car. Started with Maritime Blue Paint courtesy of my Dr. Color Chips touch up paint.

Finally after some searching found some model paint to match the classic gray and light gray of my interior.

As I said finally finished the entire thing this Christmas.

Wow, I didn't know that anyone made a 1:18 scale 968 model. That's great.

Great job, so cool you were able to get the exterior color. Now, show me how you spelled out "PORSCHE" hundreds of times on the seats as per you cloth script seats!!!

I like your problem. Now somebody needs to design a cool 968 t-shirt to add to the problem.
