Jacky Ickx & Rothmans Porsche - WIP

March 25, 2016
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)

March 25, 2016
This is the 'central theme'.

March 25, 2016
The 4 models are in different modelling status.

The period reaches from 1983 to 1986.

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.
10
June 2, 2016
Porsche 959 Dakar 1985. Tamiya masking tape was used, and where needed I used some liguid Maskol.
11
June 2, 2016
Porsche 959 Dakar 1986. Same masking procedure with Tamiya masking tape and Maskol.
12
June 2, 2016
Porsche 956 Le Mans 1983. Again the same masking procedure with the help of Maskol at the rear wing supports.
13
June 2, 2016
Porsche 962 Le Mans 1985. One last time the same masking procedure of which I start to get the hand of now 😉
14
June 2, 2016
And then the Rothmans blue areas were sprayed with Zeropaints ZP-1077 Dark Blue.
15
June 2, 2016
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.
16
June 2, 2016
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.
17
June 2, 2016
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.
18
June 2, 2016
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.
19
June 16, 2016
Next I applied the decals of the "Rothmans striping".

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😉
