It’s undressing time …

… for the King Cobra of Tamiya. The cockpit has been painted a Tamiya black (fitting, no?). The colour I got a while ago on the infamous flea market. together with it some fitting blue as well, but to late for the base colour.

Here you go with some pictures:

The black painted cockpit 2

This was the first time I actually worked with one of the new airbrush since the compressor arrived. I took the one with the 3mm nozzle. Overall a quite satisfying experience, not at all comparable to the crude beginner model I used before. I can imagine doing quite some good work with it.

Maybe I’ll try out the airbrush with the 2mm nozzle on the drivers head, since I am not satisfied with the current pain tjob … I’ll see.

Decals for a Porsche 908/3

For the Porsche 908 Resin Kit I bought some parts quite a while ago. The only decal set I found was sold via “Jens Scale Racing” and was made by BvH. The Sheet is for the Gulf coloured 908/3 which was raced by the Werksteam in 1970. There are decals for two cars, the Targa Florio and the 1000km Nürburgring. I will try to make it the Targa Florio Version, which I also have in 1/32 by Fly (upgraded with Slot.it parts).

Together with the decal sheet I also got me some Colour, the Werksfarbe “Gulf Blau” (Gulf blue), and a technic kit for building a car compliant to the DSC rules. These kits are good value for money and you get everything you need to build a chassis ready to compete (remember, I have 2 of them).
