Hello! it's been a long journey to finish another Porsche model kit but finally it's over and I'm able to present you Porsche 917k from Fujimi the winner at the Le Mans in 1971 The car itself is the 70s legendary racing car developed as Porsche 908 was not able to surpass the Ford GT40 It is equipped with 4.5 liter horizontal V12 cylinder engine and it has a specially built lighter magnesium tube frame chassis whereas all the other 917Ks had an aluminum one. If it comes to the body the car has vertical fins and two air boxes on the tail section for a 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 with the racetrack with gaffer tape and aluminum sheet as the initial 917s aerodynamics made it nearly undrivable at higher speeds by the way the long tail version had a maximum measured top speed of 386 km/h (240 mph) Ok! so now about the model kit. Honestly it was the worst model that I have ever built 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. Experience modeller for sure would have done
it much much better but torn decals and the front hatch looking like a tank hatch….this kit just went wrong 🙂 Nevertheless I didn't throw it to the bin and decided 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 just feel free to buy it! 🙂 Is there any model kit which challenged you so much that you wanted to throw it out share your story in the comments! Enjoy the video! Thanks a lot for every like given ! 🙂 cheers!
