I have searched and so far there is none, One would think there would be at least some photo etch or an engine kit but alas Nada. The Body is beautiful almost as if it is polished plastic , just gorgeous. The rest will be up to the builder. I am going to do an Outlaw 356! Some great FB and web pages on Outlaw 356's out there. So my demented plan? I have a Porsche 959 that arrived with a crushed roof, ouch, but it is a Fujimi Enthusiast kit with tons of detail. I am un-decided on body mods, if I can just some flares. But under the skin a full twin turbo mid-ship engine, inter cooled 959 set up with the factory AWD of course, the 959 seats will be shortened and wrapped in actual split leather, a simple 60's roll bar and 60's gas filler. I might just use the entire 959 chassis and put the 356c body on it! Since the kit is Revell of Germany I feel no one will do a detail set or transkit, they have never done one for the VW kits cars and Bus's . Its too bad but some times a great kit comes along and gets overlooked in that department. Good luck on it, even Stock it can be built into a Beautiful Display Model.. as always a link to my Fotki album on subject, the "Outlaw 356" Enjoy Chris public.fotki.com/pmodwrks/race-car-and-genera/356-outlaw-silver/ |

One of my biggest gripes on this kit is why didnt they make 5 steel wheels like the spare and hub caps instead of 4 all chrome wheels and a steel spare ( which can be cast, widened etc...) Chris
