Tamiya 1/12 Porsche 934

That's a big ol' beast, being Tamiya i bet its going to be a great looking kit when complete !

Look forward to more on this !

Looking good Ken!

Hi all more done to the engine (the rest seems to be going together in the usual tamiya fashion (in other words perfectly)

Your doing some really awesome work Ken! Engine looks great.

Hi all more work on the engine. 

Nice work mate,

Hi all well the tamiya supplied engine is done, I've looked on line but cant find picures the throttle linkages, I will have to ask my boss if he has any references (he seems to have an know anything Porsche related (hes an advisor on several official Porsche boards and is highly respected for his knowledge))started the decals, which are great but, the ones round the grill are really hard especially the ones around the square cut outs (if I could have guaranteed the colour match it would have been far and away easier to mask and spray it.













Ps I've barely started the decals (what ever happened to the English version (which I much preferred transfers) decals, where did that even come from you transfer the image from one place to another what you de (cant even think where cal fits in) sorry rant over, I just dont understand it.

Done some work on the fuel tank. a word of caution to anyone building this kit. When it comes to mounting the oil tank, on page one of the instructions it tells you to attach the mount for the oil tank, unless you skip ahead and build the oil tank first dont attach the mount in the first picture the bracket on the left had side is for the oil tank (the shelf with the oblong rail coming out from the side.



The steel pipe laying on its side next to it in the next pic goes into the tank and then into a hole in the bulkhead.



In the position of the next picture.



Here is a picture of the oil tank in position



Getting that pipe into the hole in the bulkhead and into the hole in the oil tank with that bracket in place is impossible (on this model of course that bracket was well and truly stuck) so I cut that rail off in order to get that pipe in then glued it back on again.

A better option would have been to attach the bracket and tank with the pipe on at the same time.

Here are some pics of the fuel tank.

I must say I'm really enjoying this kit (although I thought it would take longer to build )

The seat is just placed there not glued loads to do to that yet.

Don't forget the velvet ropes! That's turning out incredibly well, love it!

I like your plan for a museum display, should make all your hard work show off well. I've had clear do that sometimes too mate. When it happened to me it polished out but I didn't have decals under it.

Hi all I decided to add the brake pipes to this kit and was going to use wire but then realised that the working steering and suspension wouldn't work so I added the bracket to  the suspension leg and then added a flexible hose from that. Should I mention this was my third attempt(no ones perfect)

Hi all made a start on the display base, still need to make a tool chest for the back corner.

Made a start on a tool chest for it.
