model  58002:  Martini Porsche 935 Turbo    [ click here for more Martini Porsche 935 Turbos ]
status  Restored

description  After a lot of thought I finally went ahead and built the NIB 935 Bodyset I got from Tamland67 to complete the very nice chassis where most of the parts came from Fastpietje. (Thank you both!)

I found the build quite challenging, but still very much fun. And, as usual on complex bodysets I have concluded that I HATE decaling!! The decals on this one are waterslides made for the previous version of the static kit (I believe the latest static kit has pre cut stickers?) Anyway, I am reasonably happy with the end result, all considered.

The chassis has been restored with new wheels and tires, and some other new parts, where needed. The rest was polished and treated to look as original as possible.

During the build I have completely fallen in love with this model. The basic chassis combined with the radical look of the Porsche 935 just makes me go crazy!

Now, I'm off to IKEA as soon as possible to get a glass cabinet, no way this one stays out in our dusty home-environment longer than nescessary.

That's it, next is the 934

Comments welcome as always,

Lars

You´ve done a great job on this car, all my metal-chassied cars like Porsches, Lambos and Celicas are standing in IKEA glass cabinets called ' Detolf '. Quite cheap and a direct fit !!!!
