Fisher Porsche 908 completed

Here's a Fisher resin kit of the Porsche 908 that came in second at LeMans in 1969. The Fisher kit doesnt contain the markings for this car, so I scrounged around and found some suitable ones. I also upgraded and added some details: MVP Products headlights, added tail flap linkages, wiring and switches in the interior, added fuel lines into the venturis, and scratch-built the taillights.







Feelin' kinda Speed Racer-ish
Messin round with the 'features'

That's very cool. I don't know how hard it was working with that resin kit, but you made it look very good.

Stunning, it takes some real talent to make a resin kit look so realistic. Awesome subject too.

Warren, if I'm not mistaken the Fisher kit is curbside, so the covers probably have to stay on.

Awsome job on an awsome racecar, one of my favorite porsche prototypes. For those who don't know all Fisher kits are curbside.

WYSIWYG
As 935k3 said, all the Fisher kits are curbside. They are designed to be simple for easy assembly and as such, lack some hi tech detail. The simple kits do make decent shelf models and are very good kits for first time resin builders.

Great subject, and a beautiful build! The tail on that thing is so long.

I like the speed pic. It looks like it's drifting almost.
