It has been a bit since I did a race car WIP. On my hobby bench at the moment is the venerable Hasegawa Porsche 962C. As of this post, I believe this is the latest offering of the kit. This time the livery is Penthouse / Super Cad / Rizla. I honestly do not know which one is the primary sponsor. They all have prominent graphics, just in different places. If I had to guess I would say they split the sponsorship three ways. I have built the Hasegawa Porsche 962C kit several times. It is a nice, simple kit that looks great on the shelf. I do not add a lot of extra detail on these kits. I use them as a quick, fun, stress-free, build. That is what this one is. As I do with all of my WIPs, I will caption each picture as needed. The kit box art. The kit contents. I always start by highlighting seam lines and areas that will need work. I use a Sharpie to do this. Generally speaking, the kit is nice. Things fit well. Except for that rear wing...lol. It is made up of three pieces and they just don't fit together very well. Once the body prep was done, I got it ready for primer. The interior is black. Although you can only see a small portion of the interior, I wanted to paint the entire interior flat black, with the thought that the exterior white will be a uniform shade. I masked off all of the openings, (and there are a lot of them), in order to eliminate black overspray on the exterior of the body. Here is the interior airbrushed in Tamiya LP-3 Flat Black. Now that the interior is finished, I basically reversed masked the body shell. I masked off all of the openings to prevent white overspray getting on the interior. Here is the body. First picture is the exterior airbrushed in Gravity Paints, Spain, light gray primer. I used light gray so that it would contrast with the white that I would be painting. The second picture is the exterior airbrushed in Tamiya LP-2 White. That is enough for this update. Unfortunately, it goes downhill from here. I will update my problems in the next update. Thanks for looking. Feel free to comment.
