Porsche 917/10, MMM, 1/24

[MarcoSaupe]

Hi,

finished another one, in my favourite livery

Capri-Schorsch offers his 917/10 also in 1/24th, and I got one of them. Easy to build, you have to be a bit careful on the thinner spots, as the material is a bit brittle, but the printing quality is good enough to make those kits in 1/24; the biggest difficulty was cutting a fitting front screen out of transparent sheet. Now where can I find the time to design the kits I want that nobody makes...

When applying the decals I realized I made a mistake with the choice of the original car - the Martini 917 wasn't a 917/10, but it had a 917/30 front with a 917/10 rear. However when looking over the net it's called sometimes a 917/20, sometimes a 917/30 (which I think it officially is, though with a smaller engine) and several slot/die cast models also made the same mistake - fortunately I'm not a rivetcounter, and even famous museums mislabel their cars much worse, so I'm fine. At least it's a Martini Racing car

When looking at the photos I think I have to tone down the tire decals a bit, in reality it's hardly noticeable.

Painted with Aclald Aluminium, blue and red areas with TS paints mixed by eyeballing, Mr. Super Clear on top, Scalegrafixx decals and some small parts out of the spares box.

Hope you like it.

It's a 3D printed curbside kit, so nothing in terms of engine detail, only what you can see in the 4th photo, the end of the gearbox, exhausts and end of the frame.

Right now I only can show you some pics from the 1/12 scale version.
This is quiet similar to the 1/24 one.
