Hi
I finished a final one for the year - the Porsche 936/78, the well known, simple Tamiya kit.
I try to build a Martini car each year, I managed to do so in most of the years, but this time it almost went wrong: for the first time since I use it, the Mr. Super Clear reacted with the decals, severely wrinkling some of them. I managed to rescue them, by first sanding off the worst wrinkles, touching up those spots by brush, and then putting lots of clear on top of it, so I could sand a smooth surface above the wrinkles. That worked quite well, it's not easy to spot the problematic areas.
Unfortunately I had lots of problems with dust in the clear that I did not manage to sand away everywhere and also I tried to emphasize the gaps on the doors and cowling by painting the seams, but even though I only used a medium grey the effect is a bit strong for my taste, not helped by the fact, that the seams were almost filled by the clear. Well, I guess I'll build this one again some time; you can't have enough Martini cars.
Painted with TS26, mixed the blue from TS15 and 10, Mr. Super clear. I added leukosilk belts and better headlights from Scale Productions
Hope you like it!

Another beautiful build, Marco! I always admire your work, and the excellent photography shows them so well.
If you do decide to build that kit again, Indycals has decals available for both the #4 and #6 cars (http://www.indycals.net/decals/canam/78 ... rsche.html), and also for the Jules sponsored 936 that won in 1981. Good idea to have quality backups in case the kit decals give problems .
Thanks for sharing!
