Porsche 917LH Gulf

[flashman1957]

Glad to know that you are OK, and I have the same problem with being drained after work so that you don't feel up to modeling.

Now I have the three Fisher 917LH kits in your photo! Just need to start working on them...

How's this build coming along? I just ordered the '70 917 LH from Fisher (Elford kit) and decals to do the Hippie car from Colorado decals (The Hippie kit itself is out due to decal inavailability I presume)

After 2 years, this model is back in the workbench

Seeing you working on this again is great!!

Always nice to see a Gulf livery and especially nice to see it on a 917LH

Good to see this started again. I recently (more or less) finished off the Marsh kit in 1:43 and the Siffert\Bell paint scheme is a bit of a pain. I've been thinking of picking up this kit, although I recently bought the Fisher Hippy 917 off ebay, so that might come first. Will be eager to see what you make of it!

Hi,

Great build!

I'm pretty much a noob compared to the models that I can see here and I am lacking in info and resources... I was wondering where can you buy those Gulf colors, as I got a couple of 917Ks from Fujimi awaiting completion.

Many thanks and good luck with that beautiful Lang Heck!

I bought from a friend here in Rio that sells automotive paints in small bottles.

Now with the orange color painted

Looking great, can't wait to see your next update

[ianc911]

Looking good; how did you mask it?

Here is the step-by-step of the mask.




I used a piece of styrene with thick of 0,75mm to check the distance between the inside and outside mask




And the final result

Oh no you didn't!! holy... That's a super hard way to do pin stripping!! (to me at least!) lol! amazing!

[freakray]

Exceptional stuff! Excellent work on actually masking and painting the black line too, may need to try that myself using your technique.

[ianc911]

Great method for one of the most hideous masking jobs on a car that I can think of!
