Justin Porter Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Not silver really does a great job of showing off how curvy the 959 really is. The wiring on the engine especially with the looms looks particularly good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby 427 1965 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Loving this build. The 959 is one of the few Porsches I have a serious soft spot for - consider me convinced to pick up the kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funkychiken Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 Now that I've moved in and settled - and got ready for Christmas! got some time at the bench. I tried to paint the interior with enamel satin cream, but it came out really lumpy. so I've had to sand it down, and mask for spraying it. Now looking at the body, there are strnage blemishes in the paint. i'm hoping they go away when I do the wax and shine layer of the Novous polishing system. If not, then they are minor, i'm not looking for perfection... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beeRS Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Good to see you hit the bench so quickly after your move. Shame about the paint, but it hardly shows in the pics. What is the novous polishing system that you mention? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novous is a polishing system - I used to use Tamiya, but I really don't get along with the crappy tubes, I prefer these bottles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkychiken Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 Long time since my last update on this. The interior has now been sprayed... and the inevitable overspray has been removed! the body what polished again - twice with Novus "clean & shine" it did end up removing those blemishes in the previous post. some final trim taking place & now I've just got to do the windows. I did want to ask if anyone has a better technique of gluing in the windows. I tend to use a tooth pick and dab while PVA style glue into the edges hoping it doesn't seep through....

Dann Tier Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 That kolor is BEAUTIFUL!!!...glad you were able to fix it!!.....i like to tape the windows in, then flow a watered down mix of canopy glue around the perimeters with a brush....it flows in almost as good as tamiyas extra thin cement. Once it drys for a few minutes, i sometimes add another application.....works a treat for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to use Microsol Clear, that's a really runny PVA, but it tends to go everywhere! I might try to slightly dilute the std craft PVA that I currently have.
