Tamiya Porsche 959

Hi all, this will be my first build report on AF, so let's hope I can get you all interested

I'd read this topic of the 959 and it lured my to AF.

I'm also building this car and I've just started on the engine.
I've removed all panel lines (which were quie a lot) and dry-fitted al enqine parts.



When all fitted correctly, I started painting the aluminum parts. First in gloss black and then in Alclad Aluminum


The engine bloc will stil need a second shade of paint on the black parts in Duraluminum. The transmission and some of the suspension parts are already painted semi-gloss black.

While the paint was drying, I'd done some bodywork. Again, the panellines were removed and the rear wing received some putty and sanding. Also the side blinkers were removed and will be replaced by transparent onse later on.





Until next update.
Arno
