Vasek Polak - 1976 Trans Am Winning Porsche 934 RSR

[curt raitz]

I picked up this kit at the NNL West:

I was not interested in building an Orange Jagermeister 934 RSR...plenty of those have been built. Upon researching the various versions, I decided to build this one:

I based my decision the fact I could reproduce & print the decals and the cost of aftermarket decals...$$$

George Follmer and the car he drove to the 1976 Trans Am Series Championship.

Needless to say, this is a very big kit...the workbench is totally engulfed with Porsche 934 parts.

Got a few things put together

front and rear suspension assemblies:

chassis with suspension assemblies attached:

All body parts have been painted with Duplicolor Clear-coat shot over Duplicolor Artic White...getting ready print up the decals and stick'em on.

thanx for lookin'...

I never miss an opportunity to watch one of these get built. I'll never do it myself, but I'm glad people like you are willing to undertake such monumental projects. Plus I'm glad to see you doing this uncommon version.

The buildis already a great one, but, if you allow me to suggest, could add a liitle weathering at least in the engine and suspension components? It will pop up the great build up you already done until now.

Everything is finally coming together..

had to repair/reinforce the hinges on both bonnets (got a little clumsy handling the parts and "snap"!)

this will conclude entries in the Workbench Section,

will be posting the finished model in the Big Boys Section

thanx for lookin'...

Wow, everything you've done is truly outstanding. I've had this kit so long the tires have dry-rotted. Guess I'm going to have to find some more, 'cause this is really inspiring.
