Hello! I could not dwell on the studio photos of the 959 Group B from the last post, especially when probably my favorite road version of the Porsche arrived to Scalecuda garage. This is the before-styling original Porsche 996 Carrera.
The Porsche 996 touched my heart for a long time when I saw it for the first time in one of the first scenes of Gone in 60 Seconds. (By the way, in the film they didn’t use a real 996, but a body stretched either on 930 or on 964 chassis. In general, a stunt car)
Smooth beautiful lines of 996, bio design, silver color goes well with all this.
Interestingly, a pure silver Porsche 911 996 Carrera (not GT3) in 1/43 scale was not easy to find. Either light gold, or black, or green and often available, but silver. Models by Schuco or Minichamps (there are also options from other brands, but those are quite poor quality). And then one day the one silver beauty did turn up from across the ocean!
While new locations are being developed, I thought this pair of silver bullets Porsche 959 Gr,B and Porsche 996 Carrera would fit perfectly into our cyberpunk garage diorama. Not as usual as in the studio, a little color correction of the background, and I was pleased with the final result on the photos.
I hope you enjoy the photos!
