Fujimi Porsche 935 Finished 3-2-18

I am also building this one as well. This is the kit with the shallow interior and the big slotcar battery box beneath it. I did not realize that until too late. Oh well, I cut the battery box off, cut up the shallow interior and glued it and some sheet styrene back to resemble at least a shelf model. Made a full cage as well and hit the toy like front end. Now what should I make with it? I have another Tamiya kit with better decals for the Martini version. We'll see.

Great Start!!! What will It Be?? I just got my J.David decals to build the Riverside Car that Stolmmenn died in..a site that will never be erased from my mind.... Many assorted decals for this one.. if you are looking for a specific car or livery let me know I may have a set of decals or at least know where you can get some...check. Renaissance in France, great guy with several liveries.. Chris

Thanks Chris. I wish I could find more decals for this car. I will probable build a fictional car.

Finished except the antenna and windshield wiper I forgot to add till later. I used this shade of rattle can blue hoping it would work for the Gulf livery. It didn't. It was enamel so I tested it here and low and behold it worked very well.

Looks Great , what paint and color is it I have been looking for something to do a Gulf Livery.. thanks Chris

Thanks Chris, the paint is Testors rattlecan Gloss Light Blue #1208. I think it' a shade too dark for a Gulf livery. IMHO

OK . Yeah I would think that Tamiya French or Light Blue would be a match because of the numerous Gulf cars but not even close. The only Actual match is made Zero, its a acrylic Lacquer and has to be airbrushed, not that I dont have 8 airbrushes, a compressor and a air tank I am just too lazy to hook it all up and clean it after..I did order a Spray booth the other day so I can shoot inside my outside shop and hopefully that will motivated me to use them more.. You know how it is "Gettin Old is a B&%(ch.\" Thanks Chris
