Newman

[935k3]

I just shot some TS-47 to try out my new Badger 155 anthem on this. It will be the "Newman" Porsche 956 that won the 1984 24hrs of Lemans. I will be doing the black this weekend. It took over 2.5 hrs to mask and about three minutes to paint.

This should be a good one to watch. I love these cars and always enjoy seeing one built up. I'm just in the preplanning stages of building the Kenwood version. Any plans for detailing up this one?

How do you like the airbrush? The 155 is the one with the jar cup?

I really like this airbrush because it has a specially ground needle tip tht lets it spray very fine but it opens up to wide spray for doing bodies. It does use a jar. I have an Iawata Eclipse gravity fed that I will use for small stuf and this for bigger parts. Here is a pic.

Yes I plan on wiring and plumbing the engine bay and I have Tamiya's Etch Set for the details.

Got the Black(Krylon)on. The rest of the small stripes are decals.

Cool progress.

Will the ragged edge of the oval at the front be covered with a decal?

Yes completely. I have since sanded the edge down. I usually go over separation lines with 3200 grit to knock them down, I just hadn't done it yet when I took that pic.
