Review Summary

The reviews highlight that this model kit is generally easy to build, making it an excellent choice for both beginners and those returning to modeling, with features like snap-on pieces and a low parts count. Many appreciate the fit and finish, though some note a lack of intricate engine detail and the need for careful painting to enhance realism. Overall, it's seen as a fun and rewarding build, especially for fans of the specific car design, with potential for customization.

911 Turbo

By: Joshuma

Great model, pieces fit together well. A lot easier than I thought. Lots of snap on pieces. Not much engine detail. Model came prepainted. All in all it was fun.

Great build

By: michaelh023

Having just gotten back into modeling as an adult after leaving it as a kid, I found this kit to be the perfect choice to start again. I bought the kit because the 88 Porsche 911 Turbo is my favorite car. I plan on getting several more kits and customizing them to the era as well as customizing a few to new ideas. I recommend this build kit for just about anyone.

Great 1st build

By: mike.mohaupt@gmail.com (Las Vegas)

I had read that this was a good model to start with. I would agree! The parts count is low so you can spend your time focusing on painting. The only problems i had were with painting the rubber parts. I tried masking it and it came out terribly. In the end I just hand painted it. This is no fault of the model though, just my skill level. If your interested in modeling and like 911â€™s this would be a choice first kit.
