Penthouse / Rizla / Super Cad Porsche 962C

[Nacho Z]

I am sharing my just finished Hasegawa Porsche 962C.  I have added a link to the WIP.  As I always say about these Hasegawa Porsche 962Cs, they are a nice, well fitting, hassle-free kit that look good on the shelf.  There is no engine and the part count is minimal.  If you like doing decals, these are right up your alley.  However, if you don't like doing decals, you may want to pass on these.

I will hit the high points of the model.  Most information is in the WIP thread.

* Primed in Gravity Colors Light Gray Primer.

* Painted in Zero Paints Pure Brilliant White.

* Clear coat is Mr Top Coat

* Wheel chrome is Green Stuff World Chrome Metal, airbrushed.

* Panel liner is Tamiya Dark Gray.  I think it is still too stark and will use their Gray or Light Gray next time.

* Body was buffed out with Micro-Mesh cloths, 3600 - 12000.  It was then polished with Tamiya Fine and Finish compounds.

 

 

 

Thanks for looking!  Let me know what you think.

Great livery. Love the photos. Agree with your comments about Hasegawa 962's. I built one for a 24 Hour build and was very pleased with the results.

You just can’t go wrong with these Hasegawa Porsches.  The decals were very trying around that huge compound curve of the front fenders and cockpit area.  That is where my only boo-boo was.  Well, that and I had one single pinstripe decal go a little astray on me.  While I was trying to position it, it locked into place.  Any further attempts by me to move it would have resulted in a torn up decal.  Anyhow, thanks for the kind words, my friend!

I appreciate that, Pierre!  It is simply an acrylic sheet for the base and a black poster board for the background.  The key ingredient is lots of natural light.

Thank you, Phil!  Was your 24 hour build part of the large FB group Annual 24 Hour Model Build? I looked in this year's page and didn't see your name.  I seem to recall you being in that group build.  I wouldn't mind seeing yours.  Feel free to post it here if you want to!

Hi John - I was surprised when I saw the date stamp that I built my 962 10 years ago.

Oh, man, I love it!  These endurance cars and open wheelers are my favorite subjects at the moment.
