Fujimi 917 Daytona - race ready.

[stevetriumph]

Hello all,
Fujimi kit painted with Zero colour matched Gulf colours. Most of the Studio 27 etch fret. I added the tape on the front to try and mimic the race preparation put on the car, as per box art photo. Tamiya tape was used with strips of black decal around the headlight covers, finally all oversprayed in Gulf blue even down to the overspray on the tear-off strips.
A nice kit to build apart from the dash-top assembly, dunno what Fujimi were thinking of, letting that out, not a quality move.
Here are some pics.






Thanks for looking,
Steve.

Thanks for the positive feedback. The colour used for the F/glass parts is Humbrol Satin Oak #71 with a light wash of dark earth & dark grey.
Regards,
Steve.

As I have already made a comment on this model I just wanted to add; it's a great subject with excellent attention to detail and yet knowbody has rated your build and as I see five stars given for some pretty average stuff I thought it deserved better.

Cheers,
Lee.

Very nice build! I like the Rodriguez Gulf version better than the Siffert one that most do :-) Nice touch with the tape and overspray!
