Lowenbrau Porsche 962 – Daytona 1986

[Scale-Master]

Starter 1/43^rd resin kit.  Not without its little quirks and problems, but a fun build of an iconic car; and one of my favorites.

Nice work! I can only fathom how difficult for me building to this level in 1/43 would be, as I stick to larger scales...perhaps out of necessity ??

That's just a beautiful little build. Great work. Thanks for posting.

Beautiful Mark, as all your builds are. It's great to see well researched and fabricated replicas at 1/43 scale, not too many to marvel at in a world of 1/24 and 1/12 scale. Keep them coming sir, they are wonderful!

Simply stunning model Mark. Your work is on a level few others can match.

Very nice!

1/43 scale isn’t easy, but you did an awesome job making it look proper and clean.  
 

I really like how sharp your panel lines are, they can’t be too thick and rough for 1/43 scale subjects, and you nailed them!   Good work!

Looking great!!

Great looking Porsche.  Very well done.

Beautiful job on that Porsche Mark, glad you went with the headlights and not covered over.

One of my all-time favorites. I did a painting of that car posted in the "Auto Art" forum.

Care to share a link to it here?

Very nice model in a great-looking livery, Mark! Unbelievable your 1/43 models (I tried some about 25 years ago, but gave up very soon and did not finish any - too small and fiddly for me)

I love this.  I have built my share of Starter kits and they do have their quirks.  Great job.

Great build!

I second that 100%. I've seen a lot of 1/43 scale models that had panel lines which are way out of proportion, even before anyone scribed them. Maybe that's one of the things that explains the huge price differences for models in that particular scale.

Your build is looking just great!
