Porsche 935 Martini

[W-409]

The second finished model on 24.12.2011. Tamiya's kit. Originally this was based on Porsche 930 Turbo. 1976 World Championchip was driven with this in Makes Group 5. They pushed 590 hp from that engine, and with plastic parts body was 100 KG too light, so they had to add some extra weight to it. Two of these were in the first race of that season, and they won first two races with it. But then air cooled engines were forbidden, so they updated engines for water cooling system. On 3rd, 4th and 5th race were with some problems, because of updated cooling system, and they gave a change for BMW in the championchip. But Porsche won two last races, and whole Championchip after all.

Kit is simple, there's some room for electric engine and battery. Chassis is painted with flat black and silver details. Interior was simple too, and I decided to make Jochen Mass as driver. Body is painted Maston white, and assembling decals was quite big thing, but they didn't turn out perfectly. Nothing special about it, just Box Stock build. Feel free to ask, if you have some questions.

Great job on one of my favorite racing liveries... The 935 was one of the finest looking Martini cars ever...

Thanks, Rob! This is one of the best looking Martini Race Cars, but I think, there are two cars, which are looking even better:

-Lancia 037

And my favorite, Lancia S4

Still looks right after so many years, nice build.

That's a great build of a classic race car. And you just can't go wrong with Martini livery. Thanks for sharing.

The 935 turned out great. Nice work on those extensive decals. Really nice clean build.

Very cool car!

Sharp...I have the Tamiya kit unbuilt. Picked up a 1991 issue AMT 935, kind of simplified, but not bad..don't recall the AMT kit..maybe it was of ESCI or Airfix origin?

Thanks guys! I'm pretty happy about it too. Maybe those wheels are the biggest mistake in this build. They should be silver, not chromed, but seems like I was lazy that time...
