Hi guys,

As promised earlier on (I got my friends digicam on loan last weekend :D) I'm posting some models that I build a couple of years ago, before I knew about this mad, cool, nice place. This time I show you a project thqt I did some 6 or 7 years ago.

It's Tamiya's Porsche 959 in a 'Cutaway' version, like they sometimes do when new cars are getting launched at big car shows. Also the same sort of cutaway was done once in a Tamiya magazine and I "stole" :rolleyes: the idea of building the same.

The actual cutting away was a bit tricky but turned out ok. The seats were covered with some very thin real leather. The rest is 'out of the box'. I hope you enjoy the pics.

Well Put:flash:

Incredible work! :) I have a pic somewhere at home of Tamiya's 959 cutaway in a brochure that came with my 180SX kit. If I get a chance I'll scan for comparison! :D

Great job again! :cool:

Now that is a true work of art :eek: :eek:

When Tamiya doesn't make clearview versions of the model you want.. ;)

Awesome work!

Thats incredible! :eek: Awesome job!

Wow.... :sun: :sun: How????:confused:

Can I have what you cut away, I'd like to build the other half!:eek: :D

Simply AMAZING!!!:eek: :eek: :eek: :cool: :cool: :cool:

Cooooooooool :cool:

INCREDIBLE!!:eek: :eek:

WOW:eek: :alien2: :cool:

holy crap.

Interesting project and very well finished nice work:eek:

Awesome dude... The 959 is one of my all time favourite cars. :) It's also the first Tamiya car kit I built more than 10 years ago. Unfortunately I mucked it up real bad.

Holy crap, i think I'll get another 959 and an F40. :D

I think this would be a cool cut-away project.

:D

I bet Tamiya's going to release a clearview version anyway, with all the hidden details they've put into it.

That's the Enzo right? Naa, actually I'm thinking of doing the Tamiya Merc S600 as a cutaway. Will have to modify engine bay, trunk etc. but the more I'm thinking about it the more I'm getting into it.

Thank you guys for the replies! Good to hear that you like it.

Great cutaway.Looks great.
