Hello! It’s been a long journey to finish another Porsche model kit but finally It’s over and I am able to present you Porsche 917K from Fujimi the winner at the Le mans in 1971. The Car itself is the 70's legendary racing car developed as Porsche 908 was not able to surpass the Ford GT40. It is equipped with 4,5l horizontal V12 cylinder engine and it has a specially-built lighter magnesium tube-frame chassis, whereas all the other 917Ks had an aluminium one. If it comes to the body the car has vertical fins and two air boxes on the tail section for better aerodynamics and cooling. As a result, the 'finned' 917Ks were faster than the 1970 versions and Porsche became the champion at the international manufacturers championship. K stands for Kurzheck which means a short tail. Which was evolved at the racetrack with gaffer tape and aluminium sheet as the initial 917s aerodynamics made it nearly undriveable at higher speeds BTW The long tail version had a maximum measured top speed of 386 km/h (240 mph). Ok so now about the modelkit, honestly, It was the worst model that I have ever build. I know that I haven’t made them a lot but number of crooked parts or the ones which just didn’t fit were huge. Experienced modeller for sure would have done it much much better but torn decals and the front hatch looking like tank hatch… This kit just went wrong :D Nevertheless I didn’t throw it to the bin and decide to make a video out of my not so good work. I wouldn’t recommend this kit to beginners but everyone who would like to find the limits of patience feel free to buy it :D Is there any model kit which challenged you so much that you wanted to throw it out? Share your story in a comment, enjoy the video! Thanks a lot for every like given, cheers!!
Recording just for entertaining purposes, there might be as many ideas for doing it as number of all diecast in whole world :D
I am a beginner but I am not afraid of mistakes :)
