Question for OP:
What brand might be selling vacuum formed clear parts? Seems like you found some as seen in photo #11. I've seen some for airplane/jet canopies, but none for cars, so I wouldn't know where to look.

Hey Treehugger, the parts in the picture are part of the kit. But funny that you mention this topic because I actually dealt with this question myself recently. I finished two 964s earlier this year (Revell and Fujimi) and the clear parts in both kits were of very poor quality. Searched for aftermarket replacement and found nothing. So I decided to try myself at vacuforming and made the clear parts myself which turned out to be pretty decent (after countless tries and errors) I have not posted pictures of the builds yet but intend to, keep an eye open. You are right, there is definitely a lack of aftermarket windshields for cars...

Alexander, I'm really sorry about this mishap!
They show us the difference between a normal modeller and a master modeller: mishaps happen to both, but with you there's nothing to see afterwards!

If you only knew how many car models I had to repaint! I honestly think most of them, partly or in whole. It is a rarity a paintjob succeeds at the first try. I don`t even call them "mishaps". Just "happy little accidents" like Bob Ross 😄

Exactly, the lullaby channel😄 no, the guy was really great.
But on the topic of repaintings again, I actually counted the car models which are right now in my home. There are a total 16 on display and I had to redo the paintjob on 9 of them! Partly or in whole. So that is actually not the exception but the rule 👍

Anyway, your car paint jobs here on SM are the reference for me, no kidding!
Thank you also very much for the detailed description about used paints, 2K stuff and thinners etc in your build logs 👍
Fortunately, I don't normally need such high-gloss finishes, but I have helped other modellers (no SM members - yet) several times by pointing them to your build reports.
Thank you very much, your documentation effort is highly appreciated!

Mr D, I must admit I had to google what "Rudge wheels" are. but it seems to be an own VW/Porsche design that differs from Rudge wheels. USCP sells them separately too.

Thank you for showing how you attach the small PE (like name badges) on the body. I'm stuck on a couple of cars at the moment trying to figure out what to do as I was worried about using CA and causing the same issue you had with your grills. I'll have to pick up some of that Micro Liquitape.

I gotta admit, I'm gonna have to get some of that Liquitape. It certainly does the job. I do however, wonder if it lasts? We've all glued bits back on, that have fell off our models, just from age alone? You would have to carefully replace it, so as not to upset the paint?

Hey Bozzer, I first used this method on the 964 Carrera 2 I finished earlier this year:
Porsche 964 Carrera 2 *Velvet Red Metallic* | Album by Alex G. (1:24)
The "Carrera" emblem which is a PE part is firmly attached. If I wipe with my finger over it or even pick on it with my fingernail it doesn't move. Seems like the glue solidified over time and the bond became even stronger. My gut feeling tells me not to worry too much about the parts "falling off".

I have a bottle of the product, never actually used it, always thought that it was just PVA glue in a much smaller bottle..... but certainly seems to work in this case

Agree with hiveloc. That desert camo pattern is so very well done. I'm thinking of the hours spent on this figure alone, not to mention the rest of the masterpiece.

Thanks a lot Mr James, also for the many kind likes. Much appreciated from you. - The American uniform desert camouflage of the 90s was a challenge, but modeller friendly. With the new digital camouflage patterns however I cannot cope. Some trial and error, but no satisfying result yet.

Maybe this technique might work:
Uniform base coat. Then application of the various colors that make up the rest of the pattern with a very stiff brush (cheapest bristle brush) that is dipped perpendicular into a very shallow puddle of color. Stipple off as much color so that you are left with individual dots from each bristle. Then tap the figure.
I used this method for my scale 1:72 canadian soldiers and was quite happy with the overall effect.

Thank you all once again for your kind comments. We are looking for a new home for this special collection, preferably a museum with a connection to WW2 military history or aviation history. We are already in contact with a small number of museums in the UK but talks are at a very early stage. This would be a straight donation with no strings attached an we would arrange delivery within Europe including the UK but we would need sponsorship for a transport to the US. Any networking connections are more than welcome.

This is a beautiful kit cast in immaculate resin with nice photoetch parts.
Thank you Snake Models for this special one.
Below I list a few things that caught my attention during the build. Maybe it will make assembly of the model even more enjoyable for others.
Kit and instructions contain some mistakes, some omissions and some queer stuff.
- Parts 7d and 13c were missing in my kit
- the wheels (part 1) actually consist of three parts
- part 6D is already cast onto the engine
- part 23 actually consist of two parts
- the exact location of the PE parts in step A is unclear
- in step A you need three pieces of PE2. The fret gives you alltogether 8 pieces designated PE2. Point is only: two of them have different shapes. Those two resemble the ones in the drawing. Only that the drawing is wrong. You need three of the six with the short lever. Then it works.
- some PE parts are labeled "L" and "R" in the instructions. There is no corresponding lettering on the fret.
- two PE parts designated 43 have different dimensions.
- in step B four PE pieces are labeled PE25 although two have different shapes
- PE31 is not labeled on the fret
- right side gear. PE57 exists in two shapes.
- there are no designated positions for quite a lot of the PE discs, although I feel, they are needed.
- Part 61 is redundant.
For Decals No 5 (two different shapes under the same number), 8, 9 and 10 no locations are indicated in the instructions. Neither did I see any of them in my references on the real vehicle .

Thank you very much Gorby & Christopher! 🙏
@Christopher: Welcome back to the BEST HOBBY in the world! 😁 The greys are AK Real Colors RC252 Light Ghost Grey and RC251 Dark Ghost Grey. Those colours worked for me. The instructions although said I should use Medium Grey for the darker tone (which would be RC249), but that tone was too dark for me. Maybe another brand's Medium Grey is not that dark!
Best regards!!!
