Tamiya Porsche 959

[SpikeSchumacher]

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

Great paint job!

Beautiful looking paint finish and color. The trim looks great. Like the interior and the added engine detailing. 

[kelson]

Very eye catching!,especially the wheels!!

[Kah puts]

That’s a bingo, great colour ???

[galaxyg]

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?

Beautiful Porsche! Loving that paint job.

Beautiful paint choice and application. It has a very deep gloss and the metallic is very nice. Well done.

Like everyone has already said, that finish looks excellent man!

[catpack68]

Very nice work! I love that color?

[PappyD340]

Stunning Porsche!!

[Apexscalpel]

Wow! Very striking color, paired with the wheels it could be a contemporary concept car. Excellent work!
It’s always surprising to see a 959 with the engine cover open, they are sooo wide

[Funkychiken]

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...

[slusher]

Simply stunning!

Absolute beauty Mathias. I particularly love the color choices and German resto-mod vibe!

[Noah H.]

That's a great paint job.
