Jake Moon Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Hi everyone, My first build of 2017. I built Tamiya's 1/24 Porsche 961 kit. The kit is very simple and a snap-together kit. I believe it was originally an R/C kit, hence the simplicity. I added a few details, namely the radio antenna, mesh at the rear, a windshield wiper, and mirrors leftover from by Ebbro Tyrrell 003 build. I weathered the car to make it look like it did when it finished a remarkable 7th in the 1986 24 Hours of Le Mans. The car currently sits in Rothmans livery at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart. As always, comments and critiques are welcome. Thanks for looking, Jake 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Modeller Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Nicely built Jake, really like your extra little details and the subtle weathering, especially the dirty windscreen with it's wiper effect. Looks good against a black background too, well thought out!! Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
