[Beyond]

I love the colors used
Looks like it'll be a beauty when finished...

 

[Silenoz]

Nice... Looking good already, wonder after polishing...

 

[Roy vd M.]

Likewise, paint job looks quite neat already.

Graeme heeft mij deze avond de volgende foto's doorgestuurd waarbij hij zijn werk toont na het polieren van de carrosserie:







hij kan nog altijd geen foto's uploaden maar kan jullie commentaren wel volgen via zijn gsm.
Volgende week zou er nog een update komen over het samenstellen van het voertuig.

 

[GraemeB]

Thanks Erwin , appreciated .

Stunning paint job ! What brand of paint and clear coat did you use ?

Sincerely

Pascal

 

[GraemeB]

Tamiya yellow TS 16 ( rattle can)decantered and airbrushed , clear was Plascon Master Series automotive 2k, no issues, next time I will use automotive base cote. Decals are Studio 27 made by cartograph.

 

[Firewolf]

Very, very nice work! Looking forward to the rest of the build...

 

[Beyond]

That's a nice shine on that body

 

[Ron]

Alway`s nice to see a polished paintjob.

 

[Silenoz]

you could have placed a warning for sunshades ;-) , but nicely done...

 

[Pascal]

Dat is nog eens een afwerking knap.

 

[Erwin]

Weer nieuwe foto's binnengekregen, deze maal van de dryfit en de wielen.









Graeme had graag geweten wat jullie denken van de velgen.

 

[Erwin]

Een verdere update over de velgen.

 

[coachke]

I love it except the dark color I have never liked but nowadays you see them everywhere in the black color
now for a racing car it is possible
I also think it's a nice building

 

[GraemeB]

Hey guys thanks for the comments , and yes the actual Porsche that this build is based on had very dark rims, in fact all 917’s at the time raced with dark ( black) rims , personally I find that black is to stark on the models , so prefer using Nato black, or in this case tamiya gunmetal with Matt clear over it .

Next update will be soon I hope

 

[Beyond]

Coming along nice.
Rims fit nicely

Could it be that the nr 2 has some "chipping" where body halves meet?

 

[GraemeB]

Hey Beyond .No there is not supposed to be chipping I think it is just as a result that the body halves are not all the way together, if I was to build a battered car I would have chipped it at that location.

Let’s see what this weekend brings.

Thanks again for the views and the comments chaps .
