Porsche 935 2.0 Baby, Italeri, 1/24

Hi

Annual Martini-Racing model 2021: Check!

This time it's the Italeri 935/77 2.0 "Baby". Well, Italeri... originally made by Nitto, then Entex, ESCI, Ertl... seems almost every manufacturer had their hands on the moulds in the last 40 years... the kit is old, a typical 70s curbside (though in theory at least you could open the rear deck and see 3 parts that are supposed to... fake an engine, but the less said, the better). Of course you cannot expect much then: the parts are not very detailed (except for the door handles, I like those), lots of flash, headaches for rivetcounters since the model does not really match any particular original car - at least you get new Cartograf decals. BUT: Honestly Italeri, selling a new kit in 2021 where the "hole" in the tires is not in the middle? Really?
I really thought about making some new parts with the 3D printer, but since the paintjob is the only thing on that car I'm really interested in, I just finished it OOB, except for replacing the exhausts with wire end ferrules.
Painted with TS26 and 29, the splitter with a mix of TS8 and 36, Mr. Super Clear on top.

Hope you like it.

Very nice, despite the issues.

Looks terrific and super clean build!

Thanks!

Well done, but this is not the "Baby-Porsche"
The exhaust is wrong.

Yeah, Italeri writes Baby on the Box, though it's a normal 935/77 as I learned in another forum... that's probably why none of the pictures I found in the net fits the kit ;)

Even the front of this model is not correct

Hello,
nice one.

You can make the Baby from this kit.
I did it years ago.

Nice job! One of the prettiest Porsches

Great work on a not so good kit!!!
