Lowenbrau Porsche 962 – Daytona 1986
Starter 1/43rd resin kit. The rear fins and wing were warped and the fins had sink marks in them. I straightened them with a hairdryer and filled the low spots with CA before rescribing and cleaning up the body.
The front wheels are chrome plated and look nice, but the rear wheels are aluminum and were oxidized dark gray. Steel wool and polish on the lathe seems to have done the trick. The one on the right is how they came out of the box. |

The blue and gold is done with the original decals from the kit. They responded well to a hairdryer and solvent but I had to be careful around the wing area with the heat. No cracking thankfully.

The main painting and decals are done and the windows are installed. Some detail painting needs to be done before final assembly.

Nice work! Great to see someone build one of these old kits.
I'm amazed you managed to do the blue areas with the decals. That gives me hope for my pile of 962s :-) |

A good decal solvent and a hairdryer work very well to get them to conform without cracking.
