Another Porsche 917K but coming as a "Hippie"

That is cool Godfather, build it as you see fit. After all there are many 917Ks painted as replicas of the original "Hippy" cars, and they would all be different! I didn't mean to impose my ideas of how the model should be built upon you.

Naa, you didn´t do that, actually, you gave me some good hints on the rearview mirror and the open space behind it. Looks much more realistic and somehow "oldschool" spacey. I always appreciate comments and some constructive criticism. I just need some more color to arrive and then I´m off finishing that beast.

Progress. Here we go:






I still need to do some clean up on the body and include windshield, windows and head ligts, etc.

Comments welcome, as always!

Wow! Fantastic decal work. Looks great, not a suject and especially not a scheme you see much. Models are a becoming a great way to remember racing history, and yours exemplifies it! Great work, man.

Not very well, You´ll need a lot of patience around the nose intakes and cutting and rubbing! But eventually, you´ll have a pleasant result. The rest of the decals is very fine Studio27 - quality and works out great. You will only have problems, when you want to build the kit in a way that you can take the rear hood of. cutting all the hippie - "Flows" is rather hard and demanding.
