Tamiya Porsche Turbo RSR Type 934 Jagermeister

[Mr Bowcat]

Morning Guys,

Finished this one up last night. I did have a build blog going, but due to some issues it's gone from part built to finished.

As a preamble, this is my first kit after a 6 month break. Turns out that modelling is a perishable skill which led to some daft mistakes on my part, namely removing/damaging some decals with masking which resulted in having to rub back some of the paintwork to primer, then re-paint and gloss.

As a result this is far from my best work, but I enjoyed it nonetheless and just made the best of it I could. Good news is, the mojo is still back, and stronger than ever despite the setbacks.

Looks great to me Bob. Definitely enough decals to keep you busy.

 

[JayCee]

That looks fine to me too, Bob.

Very nice Bob, not on the pc at the moment but we'll worth the dogs.

 

[Andy the Sheep]

Absolutely spot on, Bob. That orange livery is really good.

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Thanks guys.

Very nice Bob! I've just finished the same one myself (It is the Tamiya 1/12th, yes?) It took a long while but I really enjoyed it. I'm reasonably happy with the results, although its not quite up to your standards (Can't seem to get the doors to 'click' shut amongst other things). I did the 1/24th Revell kit a while back when I was just starting back into the hobby so it was an interesting comparison. i had trouble with paint also (see my thread under ' Civilian cars under construction) and had to take most of the body back to plastic. I got there in the end , but if you look closely you can see differences in the tone between the body parts. But its a really nice kit with only some detailing necessary (Mainly replacement of the supplied black vinyl tubing with braided hose and fittings.)

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Thanks Peter.

No, mine was the 1/24th Tamiya kit, though I might take on the 1/12th at some point.

I'm always playing ketchup with you Bob. I love the finish you achieved, even with the probs you had. The orange color really makes a race car stand out too. I just picked up a Tamiya kit for your GB coming up. I'll just steal all of your great skills/tips when I build it...

Prost
Allen
