935k3 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) This is the Tamiya kit. The body was masked and airbrushed. Scratchbuilt parts include the airbox connecting fan to roof NACA duct, the fuel injection system and the towers and rings on the rear suspension which will connect to the scratchbuilt brake duct hose on the uprights. The chassis needs painting (aluminum) yet. The cooling slots under the molded in exhausts were opened, that was hard and had re make missing sections of exhaust. i am using the Tamiya photo etch set which includes brake rotors. This will have allot of wiring and hoses when finished. Edited January 12, 2018 by 935k3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmathew1us Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Looks great!! Is this the same kit as the Rothmans 956 but with different decals? The NewMan Porsche 956 is one of only a handful of the chassis car to win Le Mans multiple times - Ford GT gulf chassis 1075 and I think a Peugeot 905? any others people know about?
