crispy Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Wow, clean work! I've started on mine too, but not near as far as yours. Box stock? chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAL Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 (edited) Looks good, probably the baddest sports car ever built next to the 956/962. BTW, they didn't finish the interiors with any kind of paint, just left in natural fiberglass. Porsche figured it was was a weight savings so they didn't paint anything unless they had to. In fact, the unrestored "hippy" car is still unfinished in the interior. Edited January 9, 2008 by CAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modelmartin Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Looks good, probably the baddest sports car ever built next to the 956/962. Au contraire! My fine feathered freind! The 917 is the baddest Sports racer ever screwed together! The 956/962 may have been more successful and longer lived but it ain't as bad! It's at least my favorite! I have at least one of every 1/24th kit except for the the Profil and Lemans kits which are duplicate efforts of available Fujimi or Fisher kits. Still waiting on a PA and then I will be good to go! Also I believe some of the 917s had gray painted interiors. Gulf, Martini and Austria had varying practices for different items. Gulf painted the frames black while Austria and Martini left them in Natural metal, etc. etc. The restored cars are every which way and make no sense. Nice job! That Fujimi kit is a joy to build.

You might be right. Although I don't think 917s were screwed together. more like scotch tapped together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to agree with Andy on this one!! (But maybe that's just because I'm old!!! ) The only car that comes close on the "BAD" meter to the 917 in my fickle old mind is the P3!!

Nick F40 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Ya this thing is awsome to see in person. I love Martini race car and this is when the cars were for real. Yeah, this was more of a job they just quickly did because the office workers built it and they had to make so many to race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Very nice, clean model. Was wondering what paint you used for the seats. Can't wait to see when you get the kit finished...one of my favorite paint schemes of that car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
