1973 Porsche 917/10 Can Am

The engine and rear suspension is pretty much done and much of the cockpit has been detail painted. The wheels are built too. The engine cover still fits so it is time to paint the body. -

The screw holes in the front section of the body that attach it to the chassis & engine were reworked so the chassis could be moved rearward to compensate for the material I added to the leading edge of the engine cover and make the fan line up with the opening. I started painting the engine and surrounding area, but there are still more parts to fit and they don't fit positively or symmetrically. -
Starter 1/43rd resin kit. Not without its little quirks and problems, but a fun build of an iconic car; and one of my favorites. WIP Thread:

Would you appreciate someone who doesn't know what they are talking about giving credit to someone else for building one of your models? And when you correct them they say, "Well - at least i complimented the work"? Way to be classy Andrew. You seemed proud to give credit to the wrong person/people for creating the artwork as if you knew firsthand (whether out of ignorance or wanting just to sound relevant to the topic, I don't know) but you can't even admit you made a mistake when it is brought to your attention by the one person here who actually was involved? As for the Camaro; I assumed you knew which one it was, being such an insider at that show and in that area.

That artwork was not "done by some local members". Did you not notice the Scale-Master Decals logo on that sheet? Have you not noticed my screen name and avatar? It's no coincidence. I run Scale-Master Decals. My Dad and I did that sheet. That is why I have the artwork on file. I'm not sure where you got your information, but it is incorrect and I would think a lawyer would get his facts straight. I was there too, in fact I won Best Automotive at that convention with my '69 Camaro.

The engine cover does not fit well; I guess they figured most people would display it off the car (on the included stand). The panel lines on both sides look about like this, but at different angles… and the sides are much narrower than the tub. The leading edge had to be addressed too as it didn't line up or allow the opening for the fan to be centered over the fan. (Shifting the chassis is an option, but I figured getting the body set first was the better option.) I used sheet styrene to fill in the needed material and modify the panel lines. Even though I raised the engine cover when I widened it so that the leading edge matched the body, I still had to add material to the top of it outboard of the fairings so the body would flow smoothly. First coat of white primer to see how it looks. -
Starter resin & brass kit in 1/43rd scale. Most Starter kits are curbside but this is one of the few "full detail" kits they offered. As you can see there is still a good amount of clean-up required after removing the thin flash in the main openings. This structure has to be cut out too. The "full detail" section is basically one part and the removable engine cover. Kind of interesting how they cast it with the steel axle in place.
