lemans Spirit of America

[花火]

Good day guys. Today I finished 'spirit of America' which is a Porsche 956 raced in LeMans 1986 and listed third at last.

I would like to say that on building models, sometime i really like to reject the old but crave for the new. Recently i bought some 1/12 big scale F-1 kits, they're really great and i just can't wait myself building them.

So here is this 956, my all time favourite group C car, with a really nice decal, an flag of USA. I didn't do the engine..becasue i just put this car body on my old tamiya porsche 956's chassic.

Tamiya's 956 is a good enough kit that i can easily remove the car body.

So here she is:

had to mention that the decals on the front window should be white withe black words 'joest racing' , but unluckly i messed with that decal with some glue..so i chose the 84' Newman 956 #8 to replace it for now. Maybe fix with homemade decals next time.

this time i tried a little bit different tools called 'electroplating powder'. i used this powder on wheels and front lights and i think the result is good enough to me.

 

 

 

To sum up, i still have another 6 porsche 956 waiting for me i really like this car. Such a legend.

any comment welcomed and thank you guy for watching.:)

Oh this one is a beaut. Well done Nie.

     Nie, That's Beautiful! After that you need to find a Porsche 917/20 "Pink Pig" to build. The Decals ought to be Easy after that 956.

I really, really, really like this.  This is such a great race car and it looks sooooo nice in that livery.

[Bill Eh?]

Definitely have to agree with what Nacho Z said. Not only is it a great livery, but you knocked it out of the park. I am, however, Porsche biased. All 917s and 956s look outstanding in all their liveries! LOL
