Porsche 917k No.26 - WIP

1
July 5, 2025
Anyway, I removed the mold where the hook was and drilled a hole. The cover was thick and it was sticking out more than the body, so I sanded the surface to roughly match it.
2
July 5, 2025
I'm planning on using etched hooks on the front cover, but I'm not sure which pin to use since I don't have any reference material.
3
July 5, 2025
This time, I didn't washed it first because I'll going to apply etching.
4
July 5, 2025
Since the jaw are separated, I glued it and filled it with instant adhesive.
When filling the gap, it is convenient to use an instant adhesive with a high viscosity.
For Axia's instant adhesive, the first number indicates the purpose, the number in the middle indicates the drying speed, and the last number indicates the viscosity.
5
July 5, 2025
There was also a sunken area in the marked area, so I filled it with instant adhesive.
6
July 5, 2025
There seem to be many variations of the 917k, but the car I'm building has to fill in the marked parts.
7
July 6, 2025
The rear of the body is also separated, so I need to clean up the attachment surface. but I think the clip will get in the way. So I made a silicon mold for duplicate before removing the clip.
8
July 8, 2025
I also coated the adhesive surface on the back with instant adhesive.
9
July 8, 2025
The car I'm trying to build needs wings, but when I attached the wings from the etched parts, the width of the wings was too short.
10
July 8, 2025
The wing length is 20.7mm.
11
July 8, 2025
The body's attachment surface was 22.45mm (the photo shows it as 21.5mm, but it probably moved a little bit while shooting)
12
July 8, 2025
The middle was cut to increase the wing length.
13
July 8, 2025
And I overlapped the pla-plate and increased it by about 1.7mm. It was 0.05mm short, but I left it in consideration of the thickness of the paint when painting.
14
July 9, 2025
The car I wanted to create would require modifications to this as well.
15
July 9, 2025
This time, the gap was deep and the sunken area was wide, so I filled it with poly putty.
16
July 9, 2025
The modified wings fit well.
17
July 9, 2025
It fits so well now that I think I'll need to make some space later to account for paint thickness.
18
July 10, 2025
Sanded.
19
July 10, 2025
When I tried to temporary assemble it, the fenders (front fenders too) on the top and bottom did not fit together properly. I wondered if the 917k was originally like this, so I searched, but it couldn't be.
20
July 11, 2025
I found another part that needs to be filled.
21
July 10, 2025
Fixed.
22
July 11, 2025
I don't usually modify handlebars, but the spokes on the handlebars in this kit were so thick that I decided to use etching.
23
July 11, 2025
After cutting the spokes, I assembled them using only the center part.
24
July 11, 2025
I trimmed the etched parts that needed to be assembled.
The wiper was drawn in an ambiguous direction in the user manual, so I folded it in the opposite direction and then folded it in the opposite direction again, and it broke.
So I transplanted only the blade etched part to the original part. (I think I like this better)
25
July 11, 2025
The quality of the transparent parts wasn't very good, so I sanded them.
26
July 11, 2025
And I also polished it with a compound.
27
July 11, 2025
This kit includes masking tape for the windshield, but it is not pre-cut. And the shape is not quite right for the front windshield.
28
July 11, 2025
Since the masking seal for the headlamp wasn't included anyway, I decided to make it myself.
29
July 11, 2025
Applied.
30
July 11, 2025
The inside of the body shell and some parts was painted black. This time, since there were etching parts, I painted them with Vallejo's Premium paint.
31
July 12, 2025
I had a hunch that something needed to be fixed, so I used the Multisurfacer in Modeling to paint over it.
32
July 12, 2025
As expected, there are places to modify.
33
July 12, 2025
There were some areas that were not sanded as well.
34
July 12, 2025
This area also had an uneven surface.
35
July 12, 2025
Same problem.
36
July 12, 2025
Required fixing too...
37
July 12, 2025
After cleaning up the surface, I painted it with white surfacer.
38
July 12, 2025
Since the decal for this car is not available for sale, I had to make it myself, so I drew it in a vector program. Since it is an old car and there is no data, finding the information for the sponsor mark was much harder than drawing the picture.
39
July 12, 2025
I printed on normal paper and did a fitting test.
It fits well. 🙂
40
July 16, 2025
Now I painted Gloss White.
41
July 16, 2025
Masked.
42
July 16, 2025
I'm not sure exactly what color the actual point color is, but I think it's fluorescent red.
But I forgot that I used up all the fluorescent red I had the last time I mixed the colors.
So I mixed fluorescent pink, fluorescent orange, and magenta that I had to make something similar. (The bottle on the left is Gaianots' enamel paint.)
43
July 16, 2025
Painted point color.
44
July 17, 2025
Since I was ready to apply the decals, I printed them out on decal paper this time.
45
July 17, 2025
I stick them all on. There weren't many so I put them on quickly.
46
July 20, 2025
After drying, I did the first coat with UV cut clear.
47
July 20, 2025
I finally washed all the parts.
48
July 20, 2025
I was trimming the parts and pre-assembled some parts.
49
July 20, 2025
The injection quality of the tail light was not good, so I sanded and polished it.
50
July 20, 2025
I removed the plating to replace the fuel filler handle part with an PE one.
51
July 20, 2025
I think I'll paint it chrome and then glue it like this.
52
July 20, 2025
When I duplicated the rear clip, the rod wasn't molded. So I drilled a hole and inserted a suitable steel wire.
53
July 21, 2025
PE only had two sets for the rear wheels, no sets for the front wheels.
54
July 21, 2025
I had no choice but to roughly cut it up and use it.
55
July 23, 2025
Attached base of tail light.
56
July 23, 2025
When the muffler is attached to the holder, a pin pops out through the hole.
57
July 23, 2025
So I cut off the pin and drilled a deeper hole.
58
July 23, 2025
I painted all the remaining parts as well.
59
July 28, 2025
Overcoated. Super Clear III
60
July 28, 2025
I also painted the remaining parts.
61
July 28, 2025
Overcoated again.
62
July 28, 2025
Sanded.
63
July 28, 2025
But the decal was too thick and it peeled off.
64
July 28, 2025
I roughly painted it with a brush and then coated it with clear coat again.
65
July 29, 2025
Polished.
66
July 29, 2025
I painted with Vallejo.
67
July 29, 2025
I used chrome tape.
68
July 29, 2025
Ready to assemble~
69
July 31, 2025
I don't know if it hit something, but the paint came off, so I roughly fixed it.
70
July 31, 2025
I painted pannel-line.
71
July 31, 2025
I assembled the parts that needed to be PE.
72
July 31, 2025
I painted the seat belt with AK's Real Colors Markers.
73
August 2, 2025
Now I started assembling it in earnest.
74
August 2, 2025
Front interior done.
75
August 2, 2025
Engine area assembly done.
76
August 2, 2025
I cut and attached chrome tape to the rear side of the tail lamp.
77
August 2, 2025
The rivets are expressed with metal stickers. They look a bit large in the photo, but they're not that out of place in person.
78
August 2, 2025
Interior and under body done.
79
August 2, 2025
I don't know when, where, or how it was stained, but there was glue on it. 🙁
In this case, it is better to let it dry completely before handling it rather than wiping it off hastily.
80
August 2, 2025
Problem solved.
81
August 3, 2025
Attached windshield.
82
August 3, 2025
The rivets on the headlamp cover were expressed by attaching metal stickers.
It looks a little big in the photo, but it's not awkward in real life.
83
August 3, 2025
Assembled frunk.
84
August 4, 2025
Attatched head lights and wiper.
Since the wiper blade did not touch the windshield, I applied a small amount (about the volume of a mosquito's tear) of adhesive to secure it in place. 😉
85
August 4, 2025
I had to trim it down a bit because the frunk wouldn't fit snugly against the body due to the marked area.
86
August 4, 2025
I attached the rear clip that had been removed.
87
August 4, 2025
finally, I finished it.
88
August 4, 2025
Is it pretty? 😉
89
August 4, 2025
Thanks for watching.

In the FEW grainy shots I could find of that car, it looks like a one piece nose with different headlights - not different enough to worry about - and there are NO visible seam lines for the bonnet and no pins, as there was nothing to secure. Also, assuming you are building the Ikuzawa car, it had no naca ducts next to the headlights.

Interesting, there are so many 917 variations

MS K Autor
@bossy122 - Thank you for your kind explanation and I also learned the term NACA duct for the first time. However, the car I'm trying to make is not Ikuzawa's car, I don't know exactly which car it is, I just know it's car #26 from the slot car merchandise.
@George Williams - I agree. 😉

Nice detailing work going on here.

Alexander Grivonev
Very nice progress, what programs do you use for creating custom masks and decals? Looks so effortless on your part. A skill I'd like to learn 👍

21 July 2025, 13:20

MS K Autor
I'm using Affinity's Designer & Studio. These tools are easy and light, powerful.
Above all, it is cheap and has no dirty policies like monthly subscriptions.
The downside is that it does not support the *.ai and *.cdr format, so you will need to transfer it to a format such as PDF, ESP, DWG, or SVG.

Spanjaard
@Alexander, if you want to play with vector graphics, Inkscape is not cheap, it is just free. works in Linux (and also windows). works like a charm. you can even scan decals and convert to vectors with it.

21 July 2025, 16:49

István Szücs
Incredible work!

21 July 2025, 18:31

Mike Thomas
I'm with Spanjaard on this one. Inkscape gets my vote, too. It's a wonderful piece of software...especially for the price! 😉

22 July 2025, 04:26

MS K Autor
Yeah, Inkspace looks cool too. 👍

Alexander Grivonev
Funny that you mention the AK markers, my flat black apperas glossy after application for some reason...

31 July 2025, 09:21

Guido
Nice progress. Looking forward to the final result.

Please tell me where you got that emblem sheet from 😮

3 August 2025, 13:14

MS K Autor
@Alexander - This is an "MSM Creation" product, and I know Hobby Design also offers epoxy emblem decals.
Search for "MSMA033 European car emblem stickers."
For reference, I purchased it from the seller listed below: detailshop.co.kr/us/..p?goodsNo=1000080680

It's abnormally clean for today's standard. Almost no advertising.
Weird to look at.

But a stunning end result

Very neat work, I just wish Meng would make a 917 in 1/12 and 1/24 like their GT40.

Yngve N
Great as always. And the explanation with each picture makes your albums like a "how-to-book".
- What is the multisurfacer you mentioned in picture #31?
- The stuff you're using in picture #7 is it the same as Green Stuff World Is producing? Silicone Mold - BRICKS (Green Stuff World 8436554369065, No)

1 9 August 2025, 12:53

MS K Autor
@Yngve N - #7 is the Silicone Putty(It's not a pre-made mold.)
greenstuffworld.com/..bumQlnEJajZ3XttJ8Zzo
The multi-surfacer is a product that can be used on various materials (PS, ABS, PE, metal, resin, etc.) with a single surfacer.
This surfacer has a similar concept to Gaianots' multi-primer. The product I used is from a Korean paint company called 'More Modeling(or MOMODELING)'. I'm not sure if it's available overseas, but I understand there are similar products available in China too.

Thanks MS!

Bookmarked. Your photos will likely be very helpful when or if I tackle the Martini boxing.
