Porsche 935 1976 Martini Racing aka Jazz

Ooowwww... never been here before. Well not as a motorsports modeler at least :D

Normally I build road cars, but this car is special. Those who have looked at the title can already see where this is going. Sort of...
Yes I'm creating the Porsche 935 from 1976 driven by Jacky Ickx. The car that was used as inspiration for my favorite toyline and 80's series; Transfomers. This build is going to be the real car, but in my heart it will always be Jazz :D






Some real life references







And of course some pictures of Jazz himself.



And an example of the toy in its car (or Alt) mode.


This is an old kit for sure. Plastic feels old and thick, but it fits lite only Tamiya can provide. Nice and snug.


So... keeping de model simple. Just cleaning up the parts and make sure it looks good as a true curbside model. Sanding seams, scribing panel lines, removing the fastener clips...


Than a simple primer coat.


And here is where I stepped away from true OOB... those rims. There are awful. A small hour in Blender and the rim centers are coming up nicely.




Next time... the rest of the rims.
