Pink Pig - first model completed for 2010
Here's the first model completed for 2010, a Fisher Porsche 917-20 'Pink Pig'.
As usual, I enhanced the kit with my own scratchbuilt parts, and a set of MFH prototype tires (or is that 'tyres'?)      Happy New Year everyone!

 I also have this kit so I would have loved to have seen your WIP on this. Any build photos you can share?

Re: Pink Pig - first model completed for 2010
Fantastic! I got one also, ready for my retirement
 I feel the pink a bit "deep", ever thought it was a light pink, may be the shot? And I agree, hopefully to see much by you this 2010, we got some common tastes..

Re: Pink Pig - first model completed for 2010
Ditto with Bob and Brian, it'd be nice to see you at an NNL again! But alas, the Pink Pig turned out fantastic. I love the slight weathering around the front, rockers, and rear!

Re: Pink Pig - first model completed for 2010
Thanks for the comments, everyone. This forum keeps me motivated to keep building. I do miss you guys in the Atlanta gang and hope I have a chance to move back to that area sometime. I'll have to plan a trip to the NNL.
To answer some questions, the actual shade of pink is close to what is on the top of the car, not the sides. It may be a little darker than it should be, but I didnt have reliable color pics to match it to. I find that to get shades of red correct in pictures, the other colors are off. I was going on memory from when I saw the car at Rennsport Reunion in 2007. Subtle weathering is the usual finish for me. I think it gives a more realistic appearance than a showroom perfect shine (just my opinion). Sorry, no build photos for this straight forward build. Thanks again for the comments. Ken
