Nacho Z Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 I am sharing my just finished Hasegawa Porsche 962C. I have added a link to the WIP. As I always say about these Hasegawa Porsche 962Cs, they are a nice, well fitting, hassle-free kit that look good on the shelf. There is no engine and the part count is minimal. If you like doing decals, these are right up your alley. However, if you don't like doing decals, you may want to pass on these. I will hit the high points of the model. Most information is in the WIP thread. * Primed in Gravity Colors Light Gray Primer. * Painted in Zero Paints Pure Brilliant White. * Clear coat is Mr Top Coat * Wheel chrome is Green Stuff World Chrome Metal, airbrushed. * Panel liner is Tamiya Dark Gray. I think it is still too stark and will use their Gray or Light Gray next time. * Body was buffed out with Micro-Mesh cloths, 3600 - 12000. It was then polished with Tamiya Fine and Finish compounds. Thanks for looking! Let me know what you think. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a quickie project this is outstanding. You just can’t go wrong with these Hasegawa Porsches. The decals were very trying around that huge compound curve of the front fenders and cockpit area. That is where my only boo-boo was. Well, that and I had one single pinstripe decal go a little astray on me. While I was trying to position it, it locked into place. Any further attempts by me to move it would have resulted in a torn up decal. Anyhow, thanks for the kind words, my friend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is simply an acrylic sheet for the base and a black poster board for the background. The key ingredient is lots of natural light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked in this year's page and didn't see your name. I seem to recall you being in that group build. I wouldn't mind seeing yours.
