fet_thunderdome Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Here's my 956 build with shunko decals and scale Motorsport detail up set. My first attempt at super detailing the engine. The kit was the original 956 from 1985 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicarage Vee Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Very nice indeed! Again! And kudos for building the number 3 car, even though it won it makes a change from the usual Bell/Ickx or Mass/Bellof cars (at least the ones I've seen are built as that anyway). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Noble Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Looks fantastic, very nicely built!! I assume you painted the blue areas? What blue did you use for that, it looks a good match.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keefr22 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 That's a beautiful Porker! How did you get such a realistic surface on the rear slicks? Cracking job! Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fet_thunderdome Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 Thanks guys! @Dave I used rothmans blue from zero paints @keefr22 I simply sanded them with a 320 sandpaper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Thanks fet, they look like you did more to them than just sanding - they look really good, as does the rest of the model! Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith I use to sand them with sandpaper and usually I give a hand of flat coat over tire markings but this time I didn't. I did it on the Mercedes C9 and the Toyota Minolta 88c-v which I posted here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill.B Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Lovely build, and it’s nice to see the door mirror glass correctly recessed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Mull Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Oooerr, after seeing that, think I might leave mine in the box! Cracking model, well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motoholic Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Ooof! Well done sir! This really is top shelf, beautiful result. I'm led to believe these are quite a tricky kit to build. As others have said, nice to see the No. 3 car being done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pretty old kit (1985) so yes, it's tricky at times but it's still a Tamiya, so less tricky than any other modern kit by another brand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
