OK … my wife had to leave me … but only on family business. What else to do than to go on with one of my projects? Nothing!
So I started masking the cockpit area of the Tamiya kit. It will become flat black with the driver painted in traditional colours. But first there comes some masking … actually quite some of it:

Sometimes you need to mask of areas differently if you don’t manage by “just” applying strips of masking tape around the area you want to have masked. Here is a different approach, you apply the stripes all over the area and then use a scalpel (a sharp one so be careful!) to cut out the area you want to paint. Here the area are the 2 rear air scoops in the rear area of the Porsche.

Last week I went to town wif Claudia, my wife. Actually I don’t like at all going to town, but as a “reward” I got myself some new propellant for the old airbrush. OK … I didn’t have the other 2 guns yet so I thought let’s go for it with the old one. I masked the right side of the Porsche 936-78 to give the air duct a bit of the old red colour that the LeMans Car of ‘78 (Jacky Ickx , Henri Pescarolo, Jochen Mass) had. Additionally the rear wing gets some of that red as well.
