1/12 Porsche 935 Martini - A little bit extreme

When I got this kit I just instantly fell in love and I couldn´t hold my fingers of it any longer.. :lol:

It´s the Tamiya Porsche 935 Martini from the 1/12 big scale-series.

Here it is next to the 1/24 Mercedes DTM car and that too is quite big for a 1/24-scale car. :shock:

This kit is a re-release from Tamiya and it includes pe-parts such as seatbelts, brakes and other goodies and the quality is the normal Tamiya-quality with good fitment of the parts etc.

So the idea is that it will look like the real one in the picture and hopefully it will turn out good too :)

Wish me luck ! :wink:

Nice project!

Good luck! :)

Looking forward to this build, love Porsches, the 1;12 kits are very well done, I have this kit also, the re release, the pe parts look very good, especially the belts.

Great idea, your very brave to cut into a very expensive kit.

hi,
very nice project! have a look at this web site: http://www.gunnarracing.com/. they have a Porsche Kremer 935 K3 - Crawford restoration project going on. it is well documented , even if the last update is from 2007. maybe it is a later model, but it is always a 935 ( for the porsche aficionados : please, don't shoot me!!!)

Good luck man! Sounds like fun project!
