More progress soon.

Another 917K, awesome. Looking very fine so far :bigthumb:
I am so looking forward to starting one of these myself, perhaps the blue Salzburg car, although I see S27 mucked up at least one of the decals :(
Should the title of this thread be "917K No 23/Fujimi-Studio 27" :confused: If so, let me know and I'll change it.

Tanx M8.

Done Vince.
I'll be interested to see how you go with the rest of the S27 PE. Did the brake disc faces fit with any trouble?

Nice progress on this one. I look forward to more.
The PE disks look sharp.

Those tires look great. I wish all kits came with tires that nice!

No, not the front one i had to cut them :mad: but they look good @ the end.

I finish the cockpit part, new pictures then :

Looks great. Makes me want to start the one's that I've got. One question, why paint the interior tub aluminum? Trevor.

Hi Kurzheck, i didn't found the courage to do the masking job for the internal tub that must be in flat black, that's why :smokin:

I prefer give my time to the S27 pe that will require a lot.

Thanks for viewing m8.

Vince.

Great job so far. Can't wait to see more . :smokin:

I LOVE the 917. Good work, keep it up! :sunglasse

Thats looking great so far. Maybe take the high gloss of the seats (they weren't a fibreglass item with no liner were they?). Otherwise unreal. I'll be following this to see it completed.

Hi Rob,

It's true about the seat, i wanted to have them flat red as said on the notice but i don't have this color on a spray can and with the pencil this color was very difficult to apply so i'll try over colors but they're too 'high gloss'.

If you know a good 'how to' to reproduce seat texture, i'll be pleased.

I'll be out in vacancie for a week but i take my n°23 with me to finish. I'll make lots of progress pics for the forum, tanx to all for participating to this thread.

Vince (From Paris).

Enjoy your holiday Vince,
Looking at the pics I wonder if the seats are ment to be just flat red rather than grey on the sides? At any rate, finish them off with a clear flat coat and they'll look fine.

Hya All,

The car is finished now but i still have to do the 'last' pictures of the completed with the correct background ...

But, i made more the one hundred progress pics so here is some of them for u pals :

Tanx to all for your attention to my second model.

Vince.

Super! La première 917 française en ligne! :lol: (mais quand trouvera-t'on enfin cette maquette chez Eol'?)

It looks awesome!
Great work.

wiper is soo nice!!

holy freak the wiper is just sooooo nice!

Very nice :bigthumb: looking forward to the Gulf car.
You are allowed to paint the PE parts you know :)

Tanx Phil,

It was my first pe work and it was not the simpliest on the market :banghead: ... if you look @ the front part, the lens for example are really small and hard.

For the paint, i'd painted some part but the original look of the metal pleased me on this one as i made some changes for my pleasure.

Vin, it may sound disgusting but what works for me is to paint seats a flat color, then rub sweat on them with my fingertip till I reach the right sheen. it's not like anyone is ever going to bend over and smell it anyways.

oh and did i meantion I love it? The Salzburg is my favorite 917. I've got a Heller 917K kit with working spring suspension and it looks like it'll be a nightmare to assemble. I plan on building it up as white with with "no step" and "air inlet" markings and such as you'd find on a fighter jet, and using the verticle wings with the jolly roger painted on either side... sorta like the fighters from the old robotech series, in fact thats where the decals are coming from

great build lot of realism on this one!

Nice work on this 917. I'm also building the Martini 917 from 1971. It's a superdetail, but for the time being I've put it on hold. Maybe for your next 917 (Gulf) you can have a look what I've done sofar. I highly recommend the engine transkit from Historic Racing Miniatures. It's a great improvement on the standard engine provided by Fujimi. Good luck with your next build.

i like your model "however some minor details i think are missing" like the black trim around the windscreen or painting the reserve wheel black under the reardeck or filling the gaps on the roof where in the daytona model was a window wich in my opinion raises the question why spend money on a detailset when you dont bother with the details you can easy make/create yourself "this is no attack on your modelling skills or your build of the porsche itself" wich is not a easy build by itself so you are no novice by my standarts, again love your build
