Such a good idea for a project, and excellent work so far

I've always wanted to make one of these myself, to go with my other 911 GT1s, Dauer, etc. If you want to make another one, let me know!

Yeah, I know what you mean. But if you take a closer look at the photos on the internet, those dive planes were introduced on the Strassenversion after the rear spoiler was stripped from its white paint. Early photos show it lacks those elements (and this is the look I'm going for):

These things tend to be moving targets, never static.

I removed a few more buttons off the dash and coloured those remaining. I also took the indicators and wiper stacks from a Bburago F40 and, after a few tweaks and painting them matt black, the dash now looks more... "civilian":
The seats are in place and the fabric seat belts added with their respective buckles. I eventually resprayed the whole tub cause I couldn't remove the Mobil 1 tampos:
Tremonia photoetched pedals:
I took the base of a 1:43 Altaya model and cut off the corners in order to build the brake calliper fixations:
Here with the discs and wheels assembled:
I think they look ok:
Now the engine: first I painted the coil springs gloss black and disguised the screws that tighten the puch-rods and painted them blue like the originals:

Here's a few more progresses: I foun a gloss white that looks similar to the one the 911 GT1 is painted with. Depending on the light you can notice a very slightly different hue but I can live with that. The rearview mirrors, rear spoiler and additional headlights were the parts painted:
Brake cooling ducts, painted in order to mimick the composite:
On the rear spoiler, I added the wing adjustment screws:
At the rear, I built the licence plate fixation bracket from a smooth piece of plastic:
And added the lights to iluminate the plate:
As I've mentioned before, it's time to install the mufflers, in this case donated by a Maisto Aston Martin DB7 Vantage). I had to cut off a part of the moulding of the rear diffuser where the heat exchange grilles were mounted and therefore allow me to install the mufflers a bit moore rearward. Afterwards, I'll have to cut the hole to insert the metalic exhaust tips that I got from Légende Miniatures:
Starting with the engine, these are qhe intake manifolds I will use (adapted from those of an Anson 911 Speedster:
Should look something like this:

Added some elements like the bodywork fixation points and the side indicators (from Légende):
The original gearshitf lever was a horrid lump of chromed plastic so I swapped it by a resin lever meant for a F430 GT which also came from Légende.

Interesting take on the exhaust. Nicely done X. Nicely done. Shots of the model altogether soon I'm sure.
