Tamiya 1/24 Porsche 956

Hi all my boss asked me to build this for him.

I made a start

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)

Hi all more progress, made some of the missing pipework.

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)

For the ducting the plan is to use a spring and some shrink wrap (we will see thats the plan anyway))

Wow! The detail you are adding to this kit is amazing. Keep up the outstanding work. I've always fancied these Porsches. Keep them updates coming.

Oops please mask properly ( how did i make this novice mistake) now I have to mask again.

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)

Super! I'm a nut for that model. That was the last kit I was working on before I stopped building. So funny to forget masking every spot. I've been there too! That is a model well worth buying and building. Thanks for fine fotos and descriptions. We learn from every one of your projects!

More progress on the 956, added detail to the dashboard




And work on the wheels



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

Lookin' spectacular. This is going to look great when finished. Slow and steady wins the race every time. Especially when it comes to the decals.

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

More done to this.

So she's nearing completion.

Coming along! Looking amazing! The decal work came out amazing! Keep up the great work! I'm loving this.

That looked such a fiddly build, results look really good though, especially with the taping and no bleed.

Very nice indeed
