Headlights need to be painted in orange, parts are chromed by Tamiya, so did some masking:

In grey primer:

Next up is to prime it white and lay down the color...

A great start and a great kit - I made it many many years ago straight from the box - so I'll watch with interest as you give it the real treatment,
Wishing you the very best of luck,
Cheers,
Paul

Thanks Paul!

Some more work done,

Wow, looking really good, that's such a nice colour..!!

wonderful car in perfect big scale.

Wow - it looks great - and to think I built the same kit over 20 years ago when it came out first - straight from the box - nothing like the finish you have going on - it languished on the shelf for years collecting dust until my young nephew put his eye on it - I eventually let him "play" with it and over time it became so damaged, that I let him take it home........ and now, after seeing your beautiful example - I WANT ONE!!! Cheers - keep it going - great stuff, Regards, Paul

Very nice work you are doing, headlights really look good.

Looking really good!

I have this same kit and have only just started looking at the parts and determining how I want to strip the 'aluminum' and chrome parts.
If you decide to strip the chrome of the wheels, please tell. I have tried oven cleaner, bleach, vinegar, and brake fluid, it just looks at me and laughs.

The zero paint looks super, not sure how easy its going to import to California though.

I think the satin chrome has a clear flat over the chrome. Try 91% Alcohol to strip that. Then use Easy Off oven cleaner, only use the stuff in the yellow can as the blue can fume free is worthless.

awesome build, subscribed

@Robertgreen94, yes i'm planning on removing the chrome, and respray with alclad.
Will see what works on removing it and i will let you know.

Body is cleared...
Added some more thinner to the 2k to avoid orange peel...
But clearly not enough, used the micro mesh pads and voila:
(Excuse me for the finger in the first pic :) )

Then the "but":
Had a dust particle in the hood, had to sand it out and burned thru the base coat :banghead:
Resprayed the area that was damaged but not happy with the result.
New decals are on the way and hood is stripped...

Greetz,

gotta hate when stuff like that happens, especially since everything was soo perfect to that point. Looks like a blast to build tho!

More work done on the 934...

Screws placed in the indicators (front and rear):

Removed the jagermeister decals from the headlights...
Thought the headlightglasses detail was to nice to hide away.

Greetings,
Jurgen

Wow,looking really cool in the Jägermeister livery.

Keep up the good work.

Still looking wonderful - great paint / clear job - don't you just hate it when those unsightly marks show up and call for re-work - but sometimes it makes the whole project all the sweeter!

After a long break, did some more work on the 934:

Front-end still needs extra wires and cables:

Hey Robertgreen...

I've finished my rims today...
Tamiya's chrome was removed with revell airbrush cleaner (red cap, yellow can), works super!

WOW!!! IT all looks so very cleanly put together, you certainly can paint that orange looks flawless.

The end is near...
Need to finish off some small bits and pieces...
Tease:

Hi
Amazing building!!
The only annoying thing its the pipping of the front radiators, its should be more realistic the connection of the rubber pipes. All the pipping should be revised.
Large scales deserves large accuracy.
Ram

Nice build! Where did you get the center lock hubs from? They look like the ones from my 935 SMS kit.

perfect!!!great job!!

Where did you get the center lock hubs from?.

Thanks,
I've made them myself on my lathe...

With kind regards
