Fujimi Porsche 911 1/24 1972

My next build on this forum will be the roadgoing Porsche 911 S from 1972. I very much like these old Porsche 911s. This one is very special, because it was build only one year. It's the oilcap on the right backside of the car. It was often mistaken to put fuel in. So....they dropped it the next year. I'm going to use the great Fujimi enthousiast series to model the car.  Here's a picture of the box.

It's content.

This is the color I'm going to use. Viper green it's nice and retro.

In the end my goal is this.

So, lets get started.

First I always dryfit and get a feel for the model in hand.

I want the rear backside windows to be open. I gently carved it out.

At first I wanted to use the carved out windowframes. But they are very fragile. I decided to use aluminium. Before I carved out the second windowframe I made a template of it.

This was placed on a aluminiumsheet and cut it out. I used a thin saw.

It all fits nice.

For the  famous oilcap/door I used this template to get the right shape and carved it in the model.

That's it for now.
