Stu_davros Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 After more than a year of my work on and off (more off than on) I'm calling this one finished. I bought the kit as a part built at the end of 2016 for 30 quid. The work done by the previous owner was excellent so I decided to keep as much as possible. There was some conversion work done to change it to a road car which I removed as I wanted a racing version. The decals were shot so a quick visit to BBK's website resulted in some excellent decals for the Wrangler Jeans car that ran in the Silverstone 6 hours in 1978. Work in progress link to build process. I can't quite get the doors to fit properly and the bonnet sits slightly proud, the rest of the fit has been flawless though. Overall one of Tamiya's finest car kits. Cheers, Stuart 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 1978, I was 15, remember seeing this car in a magazine whilst waiting at the dentist !! - Fantastic model, always loved the racing 911's in all their variations, Wrangler scheme is still a 'stand-out' for me.

spruecutter Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Very nice work - lovely paintwork and the Wrangler scheme is eye catching. I like the way the zip opens onto the race number. Good to see that you snapped this up for £30 and rescued it from someone's Shelf of Doom! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
