Tamiya Porsche 959


Recommended Posts

My first completion in a while...

Good kit, except for the 2 piece engine cover/rear wing assembly. Spent more time doing the body work on that than the entire rest of the build 🤣

Color is Splash Paints Porsche Mamba Green with Mr. Super Clear, and polished.

Wheels are Texas3DCustoms Forgiato EV-100 done in a Tamiya Bronze color and Molotow chrome accent. Never much cared for the original wheels the 1/1 car came with.

Added some plug wires, but that's about it.

Cheers

That is a very nice green. It's interesting how much of the character of the car is changed when the wheels are changed, not a big fan of the originals either.

 

What green is the interior?

It is a superb paint job, your photos are also excellent, there is a lot of depth of field in them, great angles too. I prefer the original wheel (I'm boring) but the ones you chose look right on the car...
