935-78 Moby Dick Akin Coke Porsche IMSA

[Chris K. Hale]

Since we are on the subject of Porsche Race Cars,I wanted to share one of my projects, The Akin 935-78 "Coke" car. This was a challenge to even get the body close since Akin and crew modified the car for almost every race. This version had the doors that came out to the sides of the body, Huge NACA Ducts on the fender, not on the doors etc.... a lot of little stuff, I did the body work successfully and painted it Tamiya Bright Red, then applied the Cady decals and started on converting the interior from a slot car insert to a full detail interior.. check it out... I will get back to it soon.. Chris

Which kit did you start with? The body work looks great, I will be following your interior mods closely.

I started with the Airfix kit, all the body mods are done in Styrene with only a dab of Bondo spot filler... I love to do them that way..wish I had looked closer at that interior before I started but I think most 935-78 kits had it... Chris
