935k3 Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) This one is finally done. This is the 1/20 scale version. I had allot of trouble getting scratch made side windows to look good. I made the hoses to the turbo. I cut .010 brass and painted it for the trim around the turbo intake screen on the fender. The front screen was masked and airbrushed to acurately represent the real car, allot buids just make it black. Th Shunko decals did not fit the fenders well and were too short on the main stripes. The wheels where airbrushed with Alclad Pale Gold and SPAZTIX Mirror Chrome.

tmathew1us Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 beautiful!. I've always loved the view from the rear of the 935, as it looks like a street 911 rear end hiding underneath a racing body.
ZIL 111V Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 Superb piece! of a legendary race car, outstanding work!
Dann Tier Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 LOVE all the details you added! Q: how'd you like the Spaz Stix?
Silver Foxx Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 A great build , I think that this looks terrific , you do real nice work .
Burnout Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 Congrats on a fantastic job! Looks great. I suspect that kit is a real challenge.
935k3 Posted July 25, 2016 Author Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) Thanks to all for the compliments. Dann, I really like the Spaztix, I like it better than Alclad. I find it a little brighter and more durable. Because the wheels are not molded open they were painted gold first then the centers were painted over with Tamiya Acrylic X-18 SG Black. The X-18 was then removed from the top of the spokes using ammonia and Q-Tips, This leaves the recesses between the spokes black. The centers were then masked and the rims painted with a base coat of TS14 Gloss Black then Spaztix over top. I have found this best way to paint these molded shut BBS style wheels.
