6th model kit to date

This is the Tamiya model without the engine. A quick build with a lot of parts already built and others easily snapping into place without glue. This is the least amount of parts I've ever seen in a kit. This one is all about the paint job. I feel like Tamiya really dropped the ball here. The interior doesn't match that of the 1988 Turbo, but rather a terrible combination of all kinds of Porsche models. I have never seen the seats like the ones provided in the kit and cannot find a reference photo to match them from any decade of the 911. The steering wheel is from the 1984 model and the doors and bucket seats are a lazy interpretation of all models combined into one. Albeit, I'll be using photos of the 1988 model to colour match and make up the rest as I go to the best of my knowledge. The exterior matches the 1988. Its just a shame that the spoiler and side skirts are already in place, so there is no work to be done here.
