Porsche 935 Square tail

Hi all Modelers
I'm Alex from Brazil! I'm Le Mans(and caind of) dedicated modeler!
I start a progress i houp you enjoy!
Sorry for my bad Inglish!
This is the story:

Two months ago i buy the Scaledesign Porsche 935 square tail transkit!
Well... The transkit is very nice buth needs a extra GT2 from Tamiya as a donate kit!
I decide to do my own 935!
I have two pieces of the Tamiya 935 wo has the correct front buth the tail is rounded!
Look the pictures! This is Stirene material and putty (epoxi) from Tamiya!
I dont have to many pictures from this time be cause i buy a digital camera in that time!!!

Stirene ready glued and putty sanded

The stirene tail dont look hight! So i add some putty to correct the shape! Bach more or less simetric!

http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/51047src_3-med.jpg

Lot of sanded needed to correct the curves

http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/51047src_5-med.jpg

And some top view! The rims are from Tamiya kit!

Its called "Moby dick"

Well Moby looks to be one bad ass build!

Its called "Moby dick"

aaah! i thoght of that;)

aaah! i thoght of that;)

No! No! this is another one! The Moby Dick is bigger and have diferente body configuration!
This one is the second 935 sell to Porsche clients! The first one is the Martini (Tamiya 1/12)
These cars are really monster on the trakks!!! They winn lot of direrent races because is very dinamic to match diferent rulles!

this car already looked monstrosly cool, and you just made it even better, to match the IMO prettier Sq T.

Keep it up!

Olivier

Looks great so far.

Thanks for all!
Well lets see more progress! Like I say before theres no reason to do some think like that!
Today Scale design doing a entaire kit! Body, cockpit, you have everthink for a regular price resin kit!
Much less stress and fun short time also, anyway lets see!

When the tail with epoxi look decent to me, I start to thiking in the rear wing

http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/500/51047src-6-med.jpg

Even the wing needs to be modified! Remenber the Tamiya kit is a "works" car this one is client car!
Doing for private tems so lot of modifications are done in the cars by the privates
I fix a litle piece of stirene in the rear grille ( the car I pretend to do, use just one small net in that place)

http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/51047scr-8-med.jpg

Nice updates. Looking good. Can't wait to see it done.

I remember these from the 'test' thread. Very, very nice beginnings, even the Heller 908 looks pretty darn good. Any idea what liveries you'll be doing?

whats with the 3 holes in the front/trunk area? otherwise looks awesome! really have that body work down good! keep it comin! Two of the holes go to fuel fillers on the fuel tank the third smaller hole is to the oil tank cap. Right rear hole and front center are the fuel fillers. The one to the left is the oil tank cap

In N.A. those are called "drip rails", named because they keep liquid from dripping down the roof and into the cockpit.

No, they really don't work and yes they were originally just a way to clean up the roof-to-window frame weld spots without using alot of lead!!!

http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/51047scr-33.jpg

http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/500/51047scr-30-med.jpg

WEEEEEE~! Nice Job~!

Excellent work!!! :bigthumb:

Thanks for the moral suport guys!!! :)

Very Excellent work so far. No one can call you a model assembler, your definately a builder. If you want a donor kit for a motor I suggest the AMT 945. After this much bodywork I kind-of doubt you would want to cut the bonnet to open

I'm watching this thread with interest - I have one of these kits yet to build. I figured the interior will need upgrading.

Hi !!! Im back with this long...tread!
Whell after travelling to USA last week and cant buy any model :(
Lets see some progress!
This Naca ducts are a pain!
First I draw de ducts using the PE naca with index!

http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/502/51047scr-37-med.jpg

After that I start to drill the holes

http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/51047scr-38-med.jpg

Cut off all the material using this very good Tamiya knife

http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/51047scr-39.jpg

The result is good for me...

http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/51047scr-40-med.jpg

And glued the PE naca in place!

http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/51047scr-41-med.jpg

http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/51047scr-42.jpg

Buth this is the plus!!! Doing in very fine stell net!!!

http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/51047scr-43.jpg

This is cover the naca ducks and works very well!

[QUOTE=bvia]Nice, Nice job on this one Mag'!

Thanks alot man!!! I whating your cars to!!! Very nice!!!!
Tell me the vent ducts in the hood of your Corvette is carved or
styrene strips glued?

Thanks for all the modellers who are giving feedback and watching this tread to!

Mag,
thanks for the compliment!

The 2 on the hood were simply thinned to scale using needle files. The 2 on the read deck (above the rear wheels) were thinned and enlarged and sheet styrene was used on the flat portion at the back of the duct to better replicate the thin body and to square the back edge opening.

The NACA ducts on the F50 GT1's rear decklid and top of hood are scratchbuilt.

Bill

Hum... Just for shure we talk abouth this!?
http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/51047scr_47.jpg
This is very nice detail I wanna do the same in my Corvette!!!
Also your F50 is some of my future projects!!! You scratchbuild or this is a transkit? If you do the first option you really have a hard time dont you? How many days??? Nice work! Stunning!!!

DOH!

Sorry, Here's the process I used to do the front fender exhaust louver panels.

1. Rescribe the lines deeper, almost cutting through the plastic.
2. Use a cordless Dremel with the sanding drum attachment to thin the panel from underneath.
3. Use needle files and hobby knives to ensure that the louvers are equal and to scale thickness.

The F50 GT1 is scratchbuilt using the Tamiya 1:24th as the base kit. As for a hard time..HECK YES! LOL, Especially when someone here posts a new reference picture and you then have to go back and change something!!!

I have no idea how many days total, but I've been working on this one for a few years.

Thanks for the kind words and keep up the great work!

Bill

Been awhile since i visited this thread.....progress is looking great. Going to look great when done

It's coming along sweet. I love the naca ducts and the interior.

once again, this is shaping up to be a fantastic build.
