Recently released Limited Edition Revell (ex Fujimi) of the Porsche 917 that won Lemans in 1970. Driven by Richard Attwood and Hans Hermann. Color is Tamiya TS49 + TS8 mixed 50/50. Model is mostly box stock with a few additions and modifications. See picture captions for more information. Thanks for looking and comments welcome. Finished mpodel. The whitew strip surrounding the headlights and extending to the back of the car was all one decal. It required a few safety cuts and some solvent but laid down nicely in the end. Overall the kit decals were outstanding. Rear veiw shows some of the great detail included in the kit. Wheels are not black but a color called Dark Iron. Its Tamiya LP-54 (a new color) and is a very dark grey with a little bit of metallic in it. It is used extensively throughout the kit and mixed with other colors too. I like this color and it is a welcome addition to my palette. Side veiw shows the fantastic fit of the body to the chassis. The rear deck fit great dry but required a very small u-clip to hold it tight. You can barely see it in front of the rear tire. Close up shot of some of the rear detail in this kit. A lot you don't see as the suspension, shocks and accessories are all included.
