Porsche 934/5
This will be the 1976 Follmer-Morton Vasek Polak car as it ran at Watkins Glen.
The casting is pretty good, but needed some smoothing out and scribe work.  After I did the basic body clean up, I made the windows. The frames are PE that had to be bent to fit to the openings then painted black. The kit provides a sheet of flat clear stock to cut the glass from.  The hood needed to have a hole bored through it for the fuel filler.

Re: Porsche 934/5
The wheels are aluminum and the tires are soft. It comes with PE brake rotors…
 And PE calipers…

Re: Porsche 934/5
After I installed the BBS wheel centers and center nuts I set them aside. Unfortunately the rear tires split along the line where the material met when being molded and apparently did not bond well.
I cemented them together with CA and will have to sand and paint the repairs. At this point I’m waiting to see if the front tires split too.

Re: Porsche 934/5
Looks like the front tires won’t be an issue since they are not stretched/stressed as much. The rears have been repaired. Not perfect, but once under the car I think they'll be fine.

Re: Porsche 934/5
The seat was MIA so I dug one out of my stash and modified it to match the drawing on the instructions. The seat belt hardware comes in the kit, I cut the belts out from tape. The roll cage looks a little rough partly due to the brittle nature of the white metal parts, and partly due to the tight fit inside the body. Fortunately when installed it looks OK and the windows/frames further limit how much can be seen once buttoned up.

Re: Porsche 934/5
The body is painted. I used some old stock (25+ years) Testors enamel.

Re: Porsche 934/5
The decals are done, I used the new Decal Magic from Scale Motorsport and it worked well with them.

Re: Porsche 934/5
Even with all the pre-fitting of the windows the windshield was still a bit of a challenge to install.
 The taillights are PE items too and had to be formed to fit.

Re: Porsche 934/5
Into the final stretch. The body and chassis are together for (I hope) the final time.
 While it came with decals for the black soft trim for the front and the rear fender guards, they were incomplete and poor fitting, so I hand painted those areas black.
