You can see that I didn’t mask too well, since at the body panel lines there are some red markings where they do not belong … I will be able though to remove them by lightly scraping over them with a scalpel. And the body will get some white colour as well. For that I will mask off the read and other painted areas.

A Aoshima Porsche 936-78 Twin Turbo Kit which was originally motorised. I got this kit for around €5,– at one of our German flea markets and intend to make it into a Slot Car. For this I got myself a “slotvision mach 2″ chassis. More about that chassis in a separate post. The body was cleaned and primed, then sanded, primed again and sanded again to appear in this condition:

Currently I am trying to figure out, how the cockpit will be integrated. The original has it mounted onto the chassis. So I will either have to look for a lexan inlay or try to figure out a way to incorporate a real cockpit, which is what I prefer. I know that a couple of people have manufactured some inlays for various cars, but I am not sure if for this 936-78 Porsche.

After the current sanding down and smoothing the surface I will start to apply the decals for the Martini design which where luckily still included in the kit. The rear Spoiler and the mounting posts for it will be coloured in red. I started looking for some airbrush hardware to do so. I have already the masking tape ready to protect the white bases.
