So instead of doing work out side today. I was able to squeeze the engine in and get the gearbox on, competed the exhaust. I also got some braces on as well. I do need to do some weathering on the exhaust.
Oh yeah it’s only 106 degrees here in the Bay Area 🥵🥵🥵
Thanks again for looking
Chris

Chris,
Outstanding for sure.
106 doesn't sound like temps the Bay area usually gets for sure. Stay inside in the AC and model my friend.

On Tuesday evening I took the time to paint up some ignition coils,
Wednesday evening I installed them as well as the rear sway bar and the rest of the chassis braces. I also added some weathering to the exhaust.
Thanks again for looking and your kind words of support.

Chris,
Just amazing detail work. If it wasn't for the Tamiya paint bottles and the background, I'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between model and the real deal.

I had a chance to get the fuel system done but I will hold off on the plumbing for now.
Thank you for looking

Chris,
The fuel system parts are just simply amazing. They look as real as miniatures can possibly get.
This is no longer a run of the mill plastic scale model that most of us assemble, paint, and decal, then marvel at how well it turned out. Your 1/12 scale Porsche 917 is just so much more advanced in every modeling category imaginable, and thus is a true authentic scale miniature built to a much higher level then the most of us could possible achieve.
