A new year and time to make another dream Model Car.
I will make the ModelFactory Hiro Porsche 917 Long Tail 24h Le Mans 1970 No.3 Psychadelic.
It was arround 1,5 years ago when i have contacted Model Factory Hiro, why they did not make a detailed Porsche 917.
Kyoko of Model Factory Hiro sayd yes but we need some pictures.
No problem i have more than 2000 pictures which i copyd on a cd and send them to Hiro.
The result is that Model Factory Hiro came out with this kit first them the 1971 Versions and also now available the Pink Pig. Hope they wil also make the 917K Versions.
Thats the story behind this incredible Kit which Model Factory Hiro made.
And i am proud to be part of it.
If someone dont know the kit is in scale 1/24.
I have started with the Body. First i cut out the doors.
Then i cleaned all the body parts.
2. Step i clean the Rollcage parts and glue them together.
Some parts on the Rollcage are missing specially for inside the roof. I will use some solder wire and make them sratch in a next step.
Main parts of the engine are together.

Hiro made nice parts for the engine and airintake trumpets by clear resine.
Makes look them like Fiberglass.
I have modyfied them by drilled all holes open.
