1:12 Tamiya Jagermeister 934 Turbo RSR

[Duncan1098]

I am a great fan of Porsches, and as there seen to be a few on the go at the moment, I thought I would add to it. I was going to do this with the SMS detail set, but on looking into it, there were so many bits that were differant from the 935, even the wheels, so I will keep it and use it on a 935 sometime. So this kit will be an out the box build, nothing like Robs build!!! This has to be one of my favorite kits, had it for many years, eventually dug it out and made a start on it. this is the original kit, 1977

Started with the seat, thanks to Eric Cole for the technique for the fibreglass, on the front I used Microballoons for the cloth effect.

I recently purchased the re-release of this kit with the PE parts. I am looking forward to your progress as I will be starting mine soon. Good luck!

That seat looks impressively realistic!
Keep it up!

[Eric Cole]

Cool... (and thanks for the Kudos on the fiberglass technique, yours looks great)

I'm working on this same kit right now for a Kit Review article for one of the model magazines. I'm using the re-release version with PE and it's being built out of the box, and as a street version (or non-raced version without and livery), which I think is a cool.

I have a second 934 re-release and SMS Detail set that will be built as the Jagermeister car for my own collection. I'll use the 935 "only" parts from the SMS set like the wheels to replace the wheels on my already built 935 Martini car.

I'm looking forward to watching your progress.

Cool and the gang dude!!!! I'm trying to create the decals to make the Brumos version of this car.
Seat looks very nice, I like the colour you've used on the back of it. keep the posts rolling in!

A few more photos, I started this a couple of weeks ago, so will get up to date with the photos when I sort through them, the painting of the bodywork took forever, it is one big kit!


The detail of this kit is very good straight out the box, the brake peddle moves.

as does the suspension, and the steering. also a few hours drilling the brake discs, good fun



added some clips on the brake calipers as well.

Could you explain how you used the microballoons for the cloth effect?, please.

Thanks!

Superb start to this kit Duncan. I love the fibreglass technique you have used and they way in which you have executed it is just perfect---very realistic.

[Duncan1098]

Hi Porsnatic, useing the Microballoons, first I painted a good coat of matt black onto the seats, then dusted the Microballoons on, blew off and tapped off any excess, let it dry, then sprayed over the whole thing with matt black. hope this makes sence!

This looks great. Your underbody looks very well done.

And thank your for the information on your microballs-technique. I should try that on my next seat. I´ll also take a deeper look into your fibreclass-work.

Keep us updated.

Very impressive start.

You have a good eye for detail. The underbody looks fantastic. Very realistic.

Really nice start. I like the weathering and the seat grp.

I've just had a look at my old kit that I started years ago. Out of interest does your body have the rain gutters? I can't believe I would have sanded mine off! Maybe Tamiya missed them out as I think it was based on the 1/12th RC shell?

[Eric Cole]

I think the rain gutters are missing from the kit... at least the one I'm building doesn't have them. There was a very faint mold line where the rain gutter/drip rail would be but it has to be sanded away. The seam line looks even worse than not having the gutter at all.

[Duncan1098]

Yup, no rain gutters on mine, if one wants them I suppose it would be easier enough replicating it with wire.

Great looking weathering! That microbaloons also seemed to be in scale for 1/12.
