This 1993 Porsche Carrera is another Bburago kit build with those marvelous Cartograf decals. For a lot of their 1/24 Porsches, Bburago like to provide "Supercup" liveries. I managed to get a pretty slick finish on the black paint, so the exterior came out pretty nice, if not busy. Sorry, Bob Jackman. I know I ruined it for you. LOL

@chav You evidently don't shop in bargain basement for your diecasts. LOL It's another $15 cheapie.

@rich-sufficool I love great cheapie's, but there are not so many, I and don't necessarily search for them. I rely on the community for such discoveries, it is more efficient 😉 Here is and example above! Really appreciate the quality of the decals and the realistic look in this case.

@chav One of these days I'll post a montage of all the 1/24 kit builds I've done and I have still a bunch of unbuilts in the closet. I suspect they're getting hard to find because many of these I show are at least 20 years old. There are a slew of Ferraris, Porsches. I even have a McLaren Mustang ll Turbo 4.... That'll give you some idea of the age of these kits. I think I'll post picks of that one. It's pretty unique.

@rich-sufficool Sounds exciting Rich, it is nice to have a reference, there is great potential for good builds out of these kits.
