Porsche Turbo RSR 934 by gsdpic - Tamiya - 1/24 - PLASTIC

[gsdpic]

I took another break from my Friendship Sloop to build another car, the Porsche Turbo RSR type 934 from 1976.  This was built from the Tamiya kit in 1/24th scale.  The kit is a relatively simple curbside kit.  I also have in my stash the Revell kit of the same car, with more details including an opening engine lid and frunk lid.  On this build I tried something I have never done before, so I went completely overboard with it .   Yes, I added weathering as if the car just completed a race.  My story is that it was a very long race, with intermittent rain, and this car got stuck behind another car with an oil leak that led to a blown engine.  Or something like that.

 

Any comments or suggestions on the weathering (or other aspects of the build) are welcome.   For the weathering I used some abteilung 502 oil in Engine Grease color, as well as just some light misting with the airbrush using semi gloss black, and doing some other small speckles of black or silver using a small brush.  The base color of the body was splash paints jagermeister orange over splash paints light gray primer.  Also used other Tamiya paints and just a few alclad metallic colors.

 

Thanks for looking.

Nice Gary, a grubby Jägermeister Porsche, I love it. To me the grime looks realistic and what I like, is that there is shininess left, where only bits of grime accumulated and the dirtier areas are dull. The grade of shininess is a very important aspect in weathering.
