shood23 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 (edited) This is my most recent completed kit. Fujimis Porsche 917k kit depicting the car that Pedro Rodriguez and Jakie Oliver took to victory in the 1000 kilometres of Monza. The kit: Those of you who saw the Build thread will know that this kit had my blood boiling at times but there were also bits that I was pleased with from fujimi also. My biggest gripe with this kit is the front hatch that doesn't fit without quite a bit of modification. The fact that this has no form of engine even though the car is almost 50 years old is a little annoying, but saying that you can build it into a good curbside car with a little work. Would I make it again? Yes but I would add a lot more to the under body parts and the engine trans kit. Overall I would give this kit a 6/10, it's good but there are areas that could have been done better as I said above. Paints used: Body colour is zero paints gulf blue with the little roof scoop being zero paints gulf orange, all over coated with zero paints premixed clear. Wheels are a mix of tamiya pot paints airbrushed on. Under body and frame work was painted with tamiya pot paints thinned down to use in an airbrush or just plain old brush painted on. The car.

Schwarz-Brot Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I enjoyed the build thread quite a lot. And I like the outcome very much. Only thing I dislike is the wiper. I realized this with other builds of this car as well - it looks way to massive and out of scale. But this for sure isn't your fault. You did a superb job on this. I especially like the paintjob. Not too shiny for a car of that era but shiny enough to show you cared a lot about what you did there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
injidup Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I followed the build as I also have a Fujimi 917 and yours has turned out just brilliantly Shaun. I'll be happy if mine is half as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
