Post by: kpnuts on November 16, 2020, 03:09:34 AM: Hi all more progress on this (you can tell its an old Tamiya kit as there is loads of detail to be added, thats not supplied with the kit)

Post by: kpnuts on November 23, 2020, 04:21:27 AM: Hi all I thought I had done my first colour coat then realised the rear fins should have been white on the outside.

And made a start on scratch building the brake air ducting (these bits are tiny 5x8mm)
(https://i.ibb.co/tKdBZcX/IMG-5024.jpg)
For the ducting the plan is to use a spring and some shrink wrap (we will see thats the plan anyway))

Title: Re: Tamiya 1/24 Porsche 956
Post by: kpnuts on November 27, 2020, 04:27:04 AM: More progress.

Made the air ducts and flexible hose for the brakes and decided (with great trepidation) to try the old kit decals. Seems they're fine (sighs with relief)

Post by: kpnuts on November 29, 2020, 04:48:19 AM: More progress on the 956, added detail to the dashboard

(https://i.ibb.co/tbxyGZS/IMG-5098.jpg)
(https://i.ibb.co/KqKJz0v/IMG-5097.jpg)

And work on the wheels

(https://i.ibb.co/nPpBNJ6/IMG-5094.jpg)

Dont know why they used 2 different wheels sets (although it makes no difference when you put the 956 covers on as you can hardly see any of the wheel detail)

And more decal work

Post by: kpnuts on December 06, 2020, 05:15:37 AM: On the last leg now (more pipe work to add) but I have to attach the front to the car first and I can't do that till the gloss coat and I can't add that till all the decals were added so here we are
