Porsche 996 GT3-R "Pink Sally"

Hello,

now I started my first W.I.P. here.

In the world wide web I found a decal version for a Porsche 996 GT3-R with the advertising of the Pixar film "Cars". The car named "Pink Sally" mentioned as well as the "female leading role" in the animated cartoon .

To build these version I bought the Transkit GT3-R for the Tamiya Porsche GT3 from Scale Production.

At first I bring the front bumper from the TK to the Tamiya body. In the next step I glued the front and rear fenders on the body. For the look of the real race car I put a lots of grams from Tamiyas White Putty on the fenders and the body. A little piece of Balsa wood was very helpfully to sand the Putty.

The first coat of primer will shown if the proportions are right or if I must sanding again, But before this happens, I must drilled a hole for the Air Jack, and a filler cap be attached on the hood

Where did you find the decals? I've been wanting to do this car as well as the Hole in the Wall Gang GT1. I think someone in Germany was making them, but I lost their info.

Looks really nice and smooth. As you know, paint work is all about the base prep.

Awesome job my friend, but, I suggest the use of a barrier like the Dupont Variprime to avoid the ghost images that could appear from the fenders bodywork as always when you shot the color coats, forget the primer coats, this ones almost never show it.

I don't know, but, Dupont and PPG are almost universal paint that can be obtained in almost any part of the world, by mail or by one of their retailers. Just in case you can get the Dupont there, you can try another automotive sealer that I almost sure you can get overthere. In the last effort you can not get, you could try with a brush coat of future floor polish, there I guess it's Johnson Floor polish or something like that.

Looks great so far, the design in pink is "different" but looks good nevertheless

I think that livery is really cool. Finding the right colour for the wheels will be tricky. You've done a great job on the body mods. We need lots of patience for this hobby! After 2 x lots of sanding and filling I would say to myself do another project for a while or you will go crazy! (been there). Keep it going.

The Gunnar Racing car was black with flames at the Homestead,Florida race. Because it was Easter weekend, the car was re-painted pink. There were raised eyebrows as the car was being decaled in the shop. The flames were true metal-flake like a bass boat and just exploded with sparkles as it was pushed outside for the first time in the sun. It really was cool. The wheels were metallic and your color shot looks very accurate. Kyle Petty and Gunnar Jeanette were the drivers and we split the BMW's in qualifying and took 2nd in the race. Everyone wore "Petty in Pink" t-shirts for the weekend. For the race, I wrapped the headlight covers with a dark pink (magenta) cellophane. Remember it was easter and all the stores had easter supplies for making baskets. You could spot the car anywhere on the track due to the pink headlights. The Tech officials let us get away with it for this one race. The rules were "clarified" by the next race. I hope this little insight will help you enjoy the build.

Thanks for the very interesting view behind the scene from the “real sally”.

After a few months break, Sally is ready, I will show you some picture from the progress.

So, after priming I have brushed with Tamiya TS25 and bring the decals to the bodywork
