This car is not accurate but it does make a nice model. It's actually a Porsche 962 not what RoG has on the box(956). paint is Tamiya TS-12 Orange. Wheels are Alclad chrome and Tamiya TS-21 Gold. WIP is here http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=86590&hl=%2Borange+%2Bmeister

Watch this video and turn it up very loud, I think this is the best sounding six banger ever, BMW's M1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVkY8oA3RlE

Quick update, decals on.

That is creative but I think the "F" duct was one of the most creative ducting of air ever. If you do not know what it is read here http://www.racecar-engineering.com/technology-explained/f-ducts-how-do-they-work-f1-2010-formula-one-technology/

This one is ready for decals. Orange paint is Tamiya TS-12. Wheels are TS-21 Gold and Alclad Chrome overcoated with Alclad Aqua Gloss. This kit is not very accurate. It's Hasegawa's 962 but it is supposed represent a 956.It does make a nice looking model though inaccurate.

As Bill knows I have been a long time user of Future and I have found every wax I have tried tends to r3emove the Future as it is rubbed out except ZYMOL brand. Zymol enhances and deepens the gloss. Area s of Future can be reworked by carefully wiping them with a 50/50 mixture of ammonia and Future, this reflows the area and can be repeated till the debris is removed. It will level out. I use disposable cosmetic rounds(see below) to carefully wipe Future, I get great results without spraying. You can get the pads in a 100 pack at the dollar store.

There are allot of great drivers in all forms of motorsport but this guy(who ever he is) is one of the best and my favorite.

YES! Without a doubt. Nobody does what they do. They drive in the real word in real world conditions.

Did anybody notice the Stig good luck charm?

I got this in the mail from mshobbies.com. Thanks to Mark for his great service as usual. It's the Revell of Germany BMW M3 DTM

You will not regret that purchase. If your needle is a little tight like mine was when new try polishing the needle. The big cup is really nice.

Lotus 49 in all it's variants.

These kits are now available at mshobbies.com.

The pressure pot is probably the best solution. The pros that do it for a living use them. You could try vibrating by setting the poured mold on on of those vibrating football games that does work we have used this at work for casting cross sectioning samples. My boss got one at yard sale. You can still get them new. Another method I saw on youtube was to stand up and pour into the mold sitting on the floor. Th length drives the air out before it hits the mold, you would need to aim carefully for this method.

Try some NOVUS #1 to get rid of the small scratches. Most hobby shops have it.

Put Future under the decal. After its pressed down wipe of excess with ammonia or a damp q-tip. I know ammonia can strip chrome but it wont if wiped up quickly, you have to soak it awhile to strip it. The Future also helps glue the decal down. I have had to do this allot with rally car seats that are flat black but get decals like driver name etc. on the seat.

You could contact Tamiya America at 1-800-TAMIYA for the etch parts and belts that come with the re-Issued kit. Here is a pic of the Photo Etch parts

And forget "Do not pace bag over head only to suffocate"

I just watched the last six minutes and finish at this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNyxBm6dvZ4. Wow, Ferrari beats Mercedes by .4 seconds after 12 hours of racing. great stuff on a great track.

Yes you heard right. This is in Australia and has happened before with V8 Touring cars. I wish I could have stayed up for the finish. It should be on youtube by now.

Watch the Bathurst 12 hours Australia Sports car race Here http://www.bathurst12hour.com.au/live/. I actually saw a Cobra Daytona replicar in the race.

Great job. I wish they would re-issue this one. The wheels were really nice.

It's No, it will be Jaegermeister Orange.

Thanks all. The seatbelts are cloth tape from a German company called TESA I bought years ago. I have trouble finding the exact tape on the internet. The seatbelt hardware is from Tamiya's Photo-Etch sheet for this kit.
