Nacho Z Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 First off, very nice model of what I think is a beautiful race car! I have built this model. I am going to guess that you had trouble with the decals that go on the rear wing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to guess that you had trouble with the decals that go on the rear wing. in fact I think the decal works were quite easy.. I love doing decal works.. but then a masking type fell on the rear wing accidently and you can say what happened next my rear wing died Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codi Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Beautifully done. Congratulations with how well it turned out. I always loved that car.........and it's rare we have someone that posts that admits they actually like "doing decals". I know I don't.

Cheers, Tim number 23 purple and green, with a long tail. that the most beautiful 917 IMO. I just finished watching the movie Le mans yesterday. However the MFH kits are too expensive BTW I do really like decals works...uh.. because you just need 2 hands and 1 bottle of water, you don't have to wear your mask and paint everything lalalalala Edited November 8, 2015 by 花火 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codi Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 We (you and I) share the same passion for the 917, the "Hippie" car. I bought that MFH kit in 1/12th. Haven't done a thing with it as I'm concentrating on finishing a long term project. But it's going to be one I finish before I hang up my modeling tools. I'm trying to improve my skills before tackling such an ambitious build. Best regards, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Looks good to me... Do the lights really work? It looks like they do in the photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
花火 Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 Looks good to me... Do the lights really work? It looks like they do in the photos. no they are just some electroplating kits..so you will see like this if you put the light directly to them.
