"Sauerkraut" - Porsche 924

Bit of a change of pace on my bench, and I had to dig right to the back of the stash for this one. I have about a dozen Porsche kits in my stash so you could say I don't mind 'em and I've been toying with building this one for a while now but was stuck for wheels until recently getting these Fujimi Techno Racing rims...............so here's my attempt at an Audi powered liquid cooled 70's Porsche that was originally meant to be badged as a VW!!

Wow! Thats a pretty old kit, Sure is different. with those wheels it doesn't look bad.
What colour do ya have in mind?

wow that is a old one,the wheel look OK for it,are u going to put the kit strips on it

wow i like those rims they suit

Yeah that is cool already - can't wait to see what you come up with for this one!

I have one of these buried in the stash as well. You're right about the kit wheels, very under whelming.

Should be a good build

Nice, good to see something different coming from your bench.

I'm wide open to suggestions, got any??

I'll be watching this one too. I've never seen that kit before, it seems that Monogram went through a phase of really weird subjects like this that were out of place in it's line up of Americana.
Are you keeping it as a racer or making a tricked out Euro street beast?

They did make a bunch of cool things like this kit, whilst this one is a curbside from 1978 it's not a bad liitle thing and parts fitment is pretty good so far.


..........I think this one will be a fictitious race car, a Club Racer or similar - with the size of the slicks (about 15" rear and 12" fronts) that I've squeezed under it they would be wasted on the street

what about metalic dark red on it or metalic black.or 2 tone of these's colours.

well looking good mate love them rims and as for a colour sceme wot about two tone yellow/black like yellow front and sides with black bonnet,roof and rear quarters

This ones still slowly progressing on my bench, I've painted the wheel centers gold (originally they where to be black) and made up a cage from various sources.................



...

wheels look good,any chance better photos of roll cage please ,what colour u going with.

Soon as I paint it I will get a better shot Allan, most of the cage is from a J2000 kit.

That looks cool as. Love those Group C style body kits with big arse flares!

Bit more to report on this one, the interior is about half way there as it's painted and I've chosen some seats that will fit with my club racer type theme, I've added some checker plate to the foot wells, machined up a shifter and made the little aluminium sheet under it.

Cool - where'd the chequer plate come from?

I got the treadplate from an aftermarket truck mob (@ kilmore IIRC), it's nickle plated brass sheet and very much to scale - it was pretty cheap too!!

One last mock up before primer,

looking good so far.

Yee ha! Would love to take that for a spin around the Island...

I got sick of waiting for painting weather, so I've finally spashed some primer and paint on this one. It's still wet so instead I will just show you my inspiration for colours .....
