I believe the reason they didn’t have brake calipers on this Porsche was because back then brake pads and calipers were too expensive to produce, so their racers were taught to win or not come back if they lost. They would rather sacrifice the car and the drivers. (Source: “trust me bro”)😂 Anyway, another great build!👍
Dude, that thing is awesome! I know there a parts you are not happy with (my Porsche is the same), but it turned out killer. Oh...and I did the exact same thing you did with the tires and the clear. Try brushing on Vallejo Matt Varnish after you've put the tire decals and they are on the wheel. I look forward to seeing it in person!
@@BillyStrangeAutoModels great tip, I was thinking and acrylic might be more flexible and work better so I will have to give that a try next time. Maybe even like a thinned out matte medium latex type product. Looking forward to putting our Porsches side by side soon! Thanks for checking it out. I'm way behind on my video watching I gotta get caught up on yours
Very nice build. Thanks for the little notes explaining the materials used, the paint, for example. It appears that Hasegawa did a pretty good job producing this kit; kudos to them for clean molds!
@@bobyoung1698 thank you, glad you found those helpful. The kit is showing its age a bit but it still seems like a pretty good model for being many years old now and re-released so many times with different decals.
Excellent build video and I appreciate your honesty with build and paint issues. I'm curious as to why you wear gloves at all stages of paint and assembly. I understand painting of course, but assembly and detail paint just seems like I'd be all thumbs without that tactile feedback.
@@wayneburgess6591 I'm an amateur so disclosing mistakes is part of learning. I wear gloves in my videos because I have very bad hands and fingers, I worry people will find them distracting and not like the video as a result. It is very inconvenient at times but it's better than nasty comments I suppose. Thanks for watching I appreciate it it
Beautiful Porsche, Elliot! If you think race car decals are hard, you should try some of the decals for model diesel locos from back in the day, especially the Santa Fe Warbonnet!
Man that looks great. I hear you about the small imperfections but I also think we are our own worst critic. Great filming, great edits and a great build.
@@gatblau1 thank you, it was a bad idea because it was so small lol. I couldn't film any of it because my giant fingers were in the way the whole time trying to make such tiny pieces 😵💫
@@BigSkyModelWorkshop thanks pal! Glad you enjoyed it. And yeah, I too know the pain of trying to install a harness to FIA-spec while half upside down inside a jungle gym of a cage 🤣
lol. Race cars are for going not stopping. I’ve said it on plenty of other platforms but awesome job, my friend. You did some wonderful work on this one. You’re ready to tackle anything now, no matter what you say. If you have deep scratches in clear parts ever you can go even harsher than 8000. I went down to 2000 on my last airplane canopy and went up from there turned out very shiny and clear indeed lol. Anyways. Great build and great video.
@@kyledehartsscaleworks thanks pal appreciate all your support! I was afraid to start too low on the grits for the clear parts so that's a good tip, thanks for the heads up
@@scaleffect yeah. It’s all clear plastic you know, so as long as you’re getting it smoothed back out completely then it’s no problem. And with a quick polish at the end to blend the micro scratches it’s even better!! And you’re welcome!
@@LeftCoastModelCarBuilds thanks man, appreciate it 🍻 hope you'll get to see it again soon at a show, mainly because that means we'll get to hang out again
Very nice result. And about the safety belts, you made them from scratch,does not matter when they are not 100% correct, you have made then. You can buy everything,build the fun is sometimes putting something from yourself in it. And they don,t look to bad. Please do not be to harsch on yourself. The perfect kit has not been build yet,and never will be build.100 pair of eyes will always see something. Thanks for showing us you build
@@scaleffect 1 question.Does that stand alone spoiler parts comes with the kit/????Don t worry,i am 61 years old and still learning everyday. I have here the Tamiya Sauber C9 still to build. Moving from streetcars to racecars slowly. But i like the livery on your kit. Will order it this month when i do my big buy in Japan. And keep on building and i am looking forward to the next build..
@@janvanrenselaar5998 that's awesome 👍. Yes this kit comes with the parts to do the standalone wing as shown, the only details I added in the build were the seatbelts and the antenna, everything else is as it comes in the box.

Great work my friend! This music comeback to childhood and i remember game Driver San Francisco)))) +9999 to the atmosphere)))
@@noqualitydioramas thanks, I'm glad the feedback on my recent videos with the music changes have been well received
That's awesome my friend, fantastic work especially considering it's your first racing car. Well done 👍🏼👍🏼

@@ScaleAutoGarage thanks, glad you enjoyed the build and the video itself. Much appreciated 🍻
amazing detail fantastic build Thank you for sharing
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it pal
Simply stunning my friend, excellent video, can't wait for your next work of art.
@@martinrigler7671 thanks, you're too kind
Awesome work, brother, it looks amazing!! ✌️😁
@@SmallADVentures1973 thanks man, appreciate you checking it out! I'm behind on watching videos I need to get caught up on yours here soon
Nicely done. Great looking build as it certainly catches the eye.
@@olezippi thank you! Appreciate you checking it out
Fantastic looking build! Awesome work.
@@MadGeniusProductions_MGP thanks pal, appreciate you checking it out
The seat belts look great! I couldn’t figure out why you said it wasn’t a good idea.
@@gatblau1 thank you, it was a bad idea because it was so small lol. I couldn't film any of it because my giant fingers were in the way the whole time trying to make such tiny pieces 😵💫
Looks really good to me, nice work buddy, 😎👍
@@ramblers69 thanks pal, I'm glad you like it! Appreciate you taking the time to watch
Very enjoyable build video and excellent work! I definitely picked up a few things, and I'm all pumped up to go build!
By the way the belts look great, I've installed way too many 1:1, they look about like that, and as tedious to do!
@@BigSkyModelWorkshop thanks pal! Glad you enjoyed it. And yeah, I too know the pain of trying to install a harness to FIA-spec while half upside down inside a jungle gym of a cage 🤣
