Tamiya 1/12th Porsche 934 'Wrangler Jeans'


Recommended Posts

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.

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

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.
