Martini Porsche 934

[Rich Chernosky]

Needed to get something done during my recuperation from Covid.  So I did this one mostly box stock except for lowering the suspension byt about 3cm.  This is a 1/24 Revell and is a Martini Porsche 934. Paint is Tamiya TS-26 white over white plastic. Kit went together fairly straight forward with only a few fit problems. While the quality is not top notch I would say it was fairly good. Revell is getting better and better. The decals in particular were outstanding and fit nice and tight. See captions under the pictures for more details. Thanks for looking. 

Once the suspension was lowered it looked more like a race car and not an off road vehicle. The chassis removes from the body quite easliy and this was done when the car was almost  complete.

Rear view, engine cover had to be modified quite a bit to work properly. It still fit nice. Lots of detail back here. 

Engine detail was very nice and it fit well. I could have gone to greater detail if I had been feeling better. 

 This side view gives a a good idea of the stance when the suspension was lowered. 

 

Front veiw, note how nicely that Martini strip conformed to the body. I did add screen to the inlet.

Front cover off, lots of detail painting here.

Now that is super nice Rich.  A really clean build with attention to the details.  Glad you are feeling better.

Beautiful work Rich.  I am always amazed at what you can do with a less than ideal kit.

That’s a beauty Rich, I’ve always been a fan of Porsches ... real nice work! ...Are those two piece wheels?/ What paint did you use for the gold in the wheel?

BTW, I hope you’re feeling better!
