completed Porsche 917K 6hrs Watkins Glen "Hippie"

[godfather23]

I finally finished my Porsche 917K. Great kit, just had some fitting problems with the rear hood and the front decal. I´m very pleased with the outcome of this kit. Please feel free to comment on this build.

















I consider this one to be my best result ever coming out of a kit, I built.

Very good build of a very cool car! The only thing I can see is the headlamps, a trick I picked up not to long ago suggests using a Sharpie (or any black marker) to color the edge of the headlamp glass, on the surface you use to attach it to the body. This eliminates the unprototypical white ring around the glass, and looks makes it look like a black rubber seal. But other than that, just fantastic! I hope to see some more cool vintage racecars from you!

Another comment: Nice
Looks like the access panel on the nose is a difficult fit too.

That’s an excellent work godfather23. I’m also a great fan of the 917K and it’s a pleasure to see it. You have all the reasons to be satisfied with your work.

Hi,

I'm a huge 917k fan as i did the 70' fujimi winner these days and i have received the two other kit, the Gulf 20 and the number 3 from Daytona.

Please let me ask u some questions :

- It seems that u used the Studio 27 photoetch, why didn't u used all the part, especially the back wings, the front part, etc.

- U used the Studio 27 decals, what is the fujimi base ? the 23, the 20 or the 3 ? Is the quality of theses decals good ? is there any recommandations for the colors needed for the transformation ?

- I have some chance cause on my model i didn't had any troubles for the rear fitting, what is the part that cause u problem ? i followed the advice on the p9o1r1sche thread about the spare wheel and it helps ?

Thanks for your answers and felicitations again !
