Completed: Tamiya 1/12 Scale Porsche 935 Turbo - Warning - Lot of Images
Some of you may remember this from my WIP a while back (a long time ago
 ). Anyway, I completed this about 8 months ago and I'm finally getting around to taking some pictures of it. Taking pictures of a 12th scale model really makes me realize how much I need a better camera.My intentions with this model were:1) To build a model now that I tried to build years ago and failed miserably at, and 2) To take what Tamiya gives us and try to do the best I could with it. However, I did add some extra wiring and hoses, I did modify some of the kit parts and I used a lot of dry brushing, washes and texturing of plastic parts and I even made a few parts like the window net and rear window braces, I even made working hood pin latches with a pin and overlapping ring but they are a pain in the A** to put on and take off so they aren't shown in these pictures. I painted with colors/finishes that I thought looked more realistic than the recommended Tamiya paint colors referred to in the instructions. My reference, for the most part, was SMS Photo CD of the 935 along with what I could find on the internet. It's not the most detailed model ever built of this car and there are some things I would do differently if I ever built it again but I must admit, that overall, I'm pretty danged happy with this build. Thanks for looking...

Most excellent Sir. The details, the paint, the photography, everything!
 Those working hood latches sound interesting... I'm looking forward to building this kit some time when I have a year or two spare.

Sometimes we say that a model looks like a 1/1 car, but in this case, the car is so great that we just have to turn on the engine to be a real car. Congratulations!
