Porsche 917K "Gulf" - Le Mans 1970 - Siffert/Redman (Fujimi - 1/24)

After putting aside this model several times due to various problems, leading to this 3 years long building time, I finally finished the Porsche.

The model shows a lot more than just minor flaws, I'm aware of that, but still I'm pretty pleased with the end result, considering all the bad luck this model has encountered.

Here are the finished pics. Questions, comments or remarks are more than welcome.

Oh, BTW : the WIP-thread is here : http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...19#post4363019

And above all : enjoy!

Great model. One couldn't tell there are flaws.

Just beautiful!
I keep going back and looking at the pictures. The Gulf colours look no better than on this car! Well done Guy!

This build is what I consider a great result. Took you 3 years. In my eyes...time well spent.

Flaws or not, that's a thing of beauty!
One of the most staggering race cars ever made.
Lovley build also.

I couldn't agree more!! "Gulf" should be synonymous with "Porsche"! This is clearly evident by your spectacular build!

I don't see any flaws, but then, i'm not that familiar with the real one, so to me it looks flawless.
