My Porsche collection continues to grow.
I recently bought the Beemax 935 K2 sponsored by Ricoh (who are Ricoh? no idea...) but I didn't like the colour scheme.
I've been watching some very informative videos on You Tube recently about the racing 935's and their derivatives and was taken by the car driven by Paul Newman, Rolf Stomellen and Dick Barbour in which they won their class and came second overall in 1979's Le Mans 24 hrs.
So I got a set of the correct decals from www.lemansdecals.com and went to work.
The kit itself is pretty good although the supplied window masks let me down by bleeding paint under the edges (Probably user error..) so I have tried to cover this up by making the black edges a bit thicker with a paint pen.
The decals them selves were pretty good but I quickly learnt that they need hardly any time in warm water before they start falling off the backing so I had to adjust my timing accordingly.
Anyway, I enjoyed it.
