Porsche 962 (6.7)

[Mihec]

It's not F1 but it's pretty quiet the same



So, here we have a Revell 962 repacked kit from Hasegawa. But for first I need to got some references:



I replaced original decals with more original Rothmans from LeMans 87':





I need details, so front door was cuted out!





A couple oh holes for antenas, sensor and other stuff:



I need to scthrach built entry to cabin on drivers side:





Original seats in grat but not if you cut out the doors:

Before



After





Dashboard is realy grat detailed. I just need to drill out a couple of hoals for keys and trigers:







I will also made detailed CPU:



And for finishing today modeling day I drill holes for couple of nets in cabin.



That's all folks for today!

if you want to do an accurate 1987 car the rear end is wrong, the motronic box is different than the one you show and that's the same for the bigger dashboard knobs.

I need to corect myselfe. I will not built a LeMans car but a 962 with Rothmans livery. Because Revell kit just don't give me that detail witch I need to built a LeMans car. I saw many picturies of different version 962, now I will just combinate what I could. My goal is a Rothmans scheme of 962 for hm....friday testing:)

Right about a time...



to publish some new staf...



I decided to build Monza 1000km 87' entriy model:





with some extra decals and metal parts:



bodywork got primered..





I made rear rims covers, because Revell gave me too small rear ones:





Dashboard:







Confort seat:



Cockpit W.I.P:



And for the end, a little pr0nography:

That's a really interesting view at the end. Never seen a 962 rolling chassis without any bodywork or floorpan attached. The tub and rear section are pretty thin without the surrounding bodywork. With that much potential torsional flex in the frame of the car I can see why there were limits to how long it was competitive without redesign.

Cheers,

A little update of 962:

I scratch Interior. Pedals, acumulator, cockpit...:












Body has been painted. Cartograf decals are strong and hard to roll them over curves:












So far for now...

Nice Job Mihec,
I had planned on a similar project although probably not as detailed as your car..
I got a set of the Museaum Collection decals also in preperation as in your picture #5 of the WIP, but the blue is just far too light for the rothmans livery which was very dissapiointing when i got them in the post, that is just a terrible mistake at that level of retail by Museaum collection, The Revell decals blue is much more accurate in my opinion and completely different to Museaum's "effort"...
I won't be buying Museaum's decals again...
