| Porsche 936 LeMans 1981 (updated June 2023) This car was built during our club 24 hour Le Mans build in 2011. The actual car, driven by Jackie Ickxx and Derek Bell, won the 1981Le Mans race. I bought a decal set from Fred Cady himself a few years back and wanted to use them on this model. The internet was scoured to find enough pictures of the car so that I could get the correct placements for the decals and I think I got most of them. I was never happy with the decals on this build. The Fred Cady decals did not have the correct number and colour of the stripes, the stripes did not go over the air intake hump and most of the 'Jules' scripts were oversized. Studio27 released a better set, but again, the stripe was dead straight, impossible to conform over the air intake. Indycals released a set of decals that were much better and the one section of stripe was curved to go over the hump. (Shunko decals has also released a proper set) Using masking tape, warm water, decal solvent and a stiff brush, the stripe and a number of 'Jules' decals were removed and the new decals attached Base Kit(s): Tamiya 1/24 scale Martini Porsche 936 Turbo (kit number 24012) Finished: Jun 2011 (updated June 2023) Modifications/Additions: - Scoop above driver opened up with rotary tool - Details and antenna added to left of driver in cockpit - Aftermarket photoetch seat belt - Metal screen added to rear NACA ducts - Bare metal foil under marker lights and brake lights, then Tamiya clear colours used on top - Decals are from Indycals (with some leftover Fred Cady decals) - Paint is Krylon for plastic White from a spray can, weathering done with pastels and acrylic flat black Awards: Toronto Model Car Show, Toronto, ON Sep 2011, 3rd place Competition - Closed Wheel Click on Thumbnail to see detailed image.
