This will be my next victim. I built a full roll cage and drilled out the molded in gauges so I can use decals.

Nice,

Is it one of those Tamiya's motorized kit of the Italeri/AMT's? Any details planned?

[935k3]

It's this OOP Tamiya Kit

Hi

I know it will be a pain, but all the red areas on the car should be 'rocket red' like the F1 Mclarens. It doesn't show on pictures - as they show it as normal postbox red. Now you know!

The 936 Martinis at that time also used the same colour. But you wouldn't know from the decals included in the Tamiya kits!

Here is an update. The chassis is finished and the body is ready for decals. I tinted the rear window yellow because all pictures of the car show it as transparent yellow.

I know the spoiler makes this race car complete but i like the curves of the porsche without the spoiler.

Nice! It looks very clean and the ride height looks good. Many builds i've seen on the web look like they are sitting too high.
The yellow rear window is a nice touch as well. How did you do it? Transparent yellow from the airbrush?

Very nice and clean !!! Are you going to use the Tamiya decals and, are the seat belts from Eduard?

Thanks: R

The ride height should be fixed on allot of these older kits. Most pictures of all 935's show the top of the rear wheel rim just at the top of the wheel opening with the tire sidewall up under the body at that point. I used Tamiya's Clear Yellow Acrylic in the jar.

Great start. Not much detail in these older motorized kits, huh? Fun to build, I'll bet.

One of my favorites! Was hoping to see it at Rennsport 3 last year but it wasn't there.
