                                                                This is my 2nd TSRF 1/24, a Porsche 962, with the Coca-Cola Watkins Glen livery.  I realize the the real car was painted an                                                               opaque-solid red, but I couldn't resist painting my little one a candy pearl red so it resembles the color of an actual can of                                                                       Coke.

The decals were applied on the inside of the lexan body using Micro-Sol and Micro-Set which makes them seat and stick to the Lexan as if painted on. All of the black vents and scoops were then painted on the inside as well. Then I sprayed the inside with Createx Translucent red (clear red). It actually loooked kinda cool when it was at that stage as it was red but you could easily see thru it. Lastly, I shot it with Parma's Faskolor red pearl. This gives the car a candy red pearl look to it as the Parma pearl red paint looks a little too pinkish all by itself.

I had to fabricate a dashboard and steering column, otherwise you would've seen the driver's feet just dangling in the air.

I used the TSRF wheels inserts in the wheels but reduced their diameter so they would fit inside and give them a "deep dish" look.

The rear spoiler was made from a scrap piece of Lexan as I needed it to be a little wider in order to fit the entire Coca-Cola decal. I used Flexi-Zap (a flexible CA glue) to glue it on. Although the pics look okay, IMHO the car actually looks a lot nicer in real life, and this is my favorite TSRF body that I painted so far. lick here to add text.
