Porsche 962C "Camel" Kyalami 1987 (Hasegawa, 1/24 scale)

[Tommy124]

Hi there,

this is my interpretation of Bob Wollek's 1987 Joest Porsche.

It's mostly built OOB, based on the well-known Hasegawa kit. I added the front flaps which are specific for the no. 8 car. They were scratch-built from black sheet.

Decals are from Reji, they went on really well. The paint is Camel Yellow, sealed with 1K clear from the can.

Mere words are not enough to express the level of excellence this model possess.  This might be the best build I have ever witnessed on a forum. Thank you very much for posting it.

I live less than 10km from the Kyalami track.

Fantastic work!

Awesome build Tommy! You nailed the color and the door cuts are so crisp. This car is so simple it's easy to screw up.

Amazing work here! Beautiful model(s).

Great build with excellent paint and crisp body detailing. Well done.

Beautiful build, Tommy!  I love these Hasegawa kits and have just about every one of them.  They make great shelf models and are just right for quick builds between more detailed builds.  I just saw where Studio 27 has a PE set for these kits.  Anyhow, I love the Camel livery that you went with.  Very nice, indeed!

What a great build and pair. Not only are they beautiful but that back drop is perfect! Well done!

This was a favorite livery of mine back in the day. Your rendition is just stunning.

Your models represent a great era in racing...I'm almost finished the 3rd of 3 962C's I've been working on this summer. I love these Hasegawa kits. You did a great job on them!
