Found a big error in Revell's Porsche Carrera Cabrio directions. They left off the front axles even though the parts are on the tree. Here are the instructions with the numbers of the missing parts I wrote in blue for you and a pic of the parts actually installed!

Got some more together on the Porsche Carrera Cabrio today... not much visible on the chassis with all the skid plates.

That's a great start,Joe. As far as the instructions go, maybe Revell forgot it is AWD?  |

That's a great start,Joe. As far as the instructions go, maybe Revell forgot it is AWD? The large glaring holes in the gear box and the pins on the struts made me go looking for them on the sprues... voila, there they were! |

Got some painting done on the Porsche undercarriage and mixed up a red-orange color for the interior.   |

Very nice, Joe! That's a 993, I believe, last of the air-cooled variety? Porsches are lots of fun. Buddies of mine have had a 1999 996 Turbo and a 2004 Boxster. The Turbo was a beast, insanely powerful. The Boxter was sublime, a superb little corner carver. Maybe someday...

I wondered as it looks off white on the box art, white would look better
