Porsche 911S, 1969

[matic176]

Porsche 911S, 1969.
Basis: Fujimi, scale 1:24, Enthusiast series.

Plan: lots of details. I'm going to build this one as close to original as possible, using lots of reference pictures.

GEARBOX:

You can enlarge pictures by clicking on them.

Fujimi's out of box gearbox has a poor detail level. I improved it by adding some more bolts and other pieces (made out of plastic and thin metal, partly also Tamiya epoxy putty). Left: before; Middle: after detailing; Right: reference pictures of Porsche 911 gearbox after restoration.




Primer and color (Tamiya acril silver, using airbrush). Some more detailing, weathering,... I made this one a "bit" dirty.





Simulation of grease: I used white glue for basis (when it dries becomes transparent) with addition of suitable pastel colors.




STARTER:

Before and after detailing, reference pictures. I printed some more decals.

No words to describe the high level of detail you've made!

Porsche...There's no substitute!

Very nice. Street car?

[matic176]

Thanks!

Yes, it will be a street car.

Great attention to detail, really fantastic

Nice details

I also have one started, yours will inspire me.

Nice!!! That starter is silly(in a good way). Will you be able to see these parts when the model is finished??

Very nice project that, for sure, I'm going to follow. At this moment I've to finish the Gemballa Mirage GT (WIP asap). I've started to convert a Carrera body into a 1964 911. Shaved the fenders and so on. Your project looks to be a stunner, wich it already is. Your detailing is super. Can't wait to see more. Good luck!

Most probably not, but we know they're there though,

Thanks to all!

I'll probably display this model as "classic car during restoration", therefore many parts will not be mounted on the car and details should be better seen. I have a plan to build a diorama of mechanic workshop (once in a future).

It's high time to continune...

DISTRIBUTOR

Some improvment parts vere made out of thin metal.




Reference picture:



Many parts of drive train are already sanded. I added some details here and there.
Before and after painting:





MUFFLER

I didn't like Fujimi's parts, therefore some modifications were made, some details added,...



There come the weathering. I tried to get as close to those refference pictures as possible.







"WARMTAUSCHERS":

I'm not sure how to name those parts in english. Heat exchangers?

Anyway, some drilled holes, a bit of putty and sanding.





SHOCKS

Outer metal cover was missing. Done!





CLUTCH

Fully scratchbuilded. That was a relatively tricky job. I'm not totally satisfied with the result, but I will probably just leave it as it is.





Thanks for watching! :-P

Excellent job... Love your professionalism!!!
But please, back to bigger clickable photos, like your first post...Please !!!
Good luck until the end

Very nice work and glad to see you're back on the job; I had seen this thread before and wondered what happened. Did Eric Westra's build inspire you to continue again?

Agree with the previous poster that many of the pics are just too small to see any detail. Please increase the size if you can...

I'm wondering why you built the clutch? Do you intend to display the motor out of the car?

And yes, 'Heat Exchangers' would be a good English translation for Warmtauschers. Sometimes they are just called Heater Boxes.

Looking forward to more!
