Jacky Ickx & Rothmans Porsche - WIP
![Album image #1 Album image #1](/albums/img/4/3/2/246432-10911-33-720.jpg)
Here are the 4 Starter kits with the one thing that unites them: the Rothmans blue. (and the fact that they are Jacky Ickx piloted Porsches of course)
![Album image #2 Album image #2](/albums/img/4/3/3/246433-10911-96-720.jpg)
This is the 'central theme'.
![Album image #3 Album image #3](/albums/img/4/3/4/246434-10911-64-720.jpg)
The 4 models are in different modelling status.
![Album image #4 Album image #4](/albums/img/4/3/5/246435-10911-77-720.jpg)
The period reaches from 1983 to 1986.

![Album image #6 Album image #6](/albums/img/4/3/7/246437-10911-12-720.jpg)
![Album image #7 Album image #7](/albums/img/4/3/8/246438-10911-65-720.jpg)
![Album image #8 Album image #8](/albums/img/4/3/9/246439-10911-22-720.jpg)
![Album image #9 Album image #9](/albums/img/0/7/8/261078-10911-69-720.jpg)
I finally managed to prepare all the Porsches, put them in white primer, give them 2 coats of TS-26 pure white, and mask the areas which need to stay white.
![Album image #10 Album image #10](/albums/img/0/7/9/261079-10911-40-720.jpg)
Porsche 959 Dakar 1985. Tamiya masking tape was used, and where needed I used some liguid Maskol.
![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/0/8/0/261080-10911-14-720.jpg)
Porsche 959 Dakar 1986. Same masking procedure with Tamiya masking tape and Maskol.
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/0/8/1/261081-10911-37-720.jpg)
Porsche 956 Le Mans 1983. Again the same masking procedure with the help of Maskol at the rear wing supports.
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/0/8/2/261082-10911-20-720.jpg)
Porsche 962 Le Mans 1985. One last time the same masking procedure of which I start to get the hand of now 😉
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/0/8/3/261083-10911-21-720.jpg)
And then the Rothmans blue areas were sprayed with Zeropaints ZP-1077 Dark Blue.
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/0/8/4/261084-10911-40-720.jpg)
I had to spray a lot of paint to reach the desired dark blue; at least 5 or 6 coats were given, each time the paint looked a little darker.
![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/0/8/5/261085-10911-41-720.jpg)
Unlike what most people experience, this paint didn't dry up flat. I is still pretty glossy, and also it took about a week to really harden.
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/0/8/6/261086-10911-73-720.jpg)
This is probably due to the fact that I sprayed 6 coats at the same time which causes the first layers to take more time to dry underneath the top layers.
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/0/8/7/261087-10911-98-720.jpg)
But after week everything was completely hardened, and I did some small 'retouches' here and there to get rid of small mistakes due to overspray.
![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/0/9/0/264090-10911-90-720.jpg)
Next I applied the decals of the "Rothmans striping".
![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/0/9/1/264091-10911-43-720.jpg)
Porsche 962 with striping in place.
![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/0/9/2/264092-10911-16-720.jpg)
Porsche 956 with Rothmans striping applied.
![Album image #22 Album image #22](/albums/img/0/9/3/264093-10911-19-720.jpg)
Porsche 959 Dakar 1985 with Rothmans striping in place.
![Album image #23 Album image #23](/albums/img/0/9/4/264094-10911-78-720.jpg)
And Porsche 959 Dakar 1986 with Rothmans striping applied.

I tried their primer (white) and was very happy with it, until the moment I needed to apply tape on my model for a second color... the you peeled it all off... primer, first colour... till the bare model... It seems their grey primer would be better?

Nothing bad happened anyway😉 No, but I have to build at least 3 or 4 Thierry Boutsen cars before the end of the summer (special assignment) so I will have to put some other projects on hold... More about the special assignment as soon as I'm allowed to give more intel😉
