Another Tamiya 1\/24-scale model which will be of interest to sports car enthusiasts is the Porsche 961 in its 1986 Le Mans trim. This is a representation of chassis number WPOZZZ93ZFSO10016, as driven by Rene Metge and Claude Ballot-Lena in plain white “unsponsored” livery. <\/p>\n
The model is of the “snap-loc” type -meaning that you do not have to use cement to construct it (though I would advise you to) -and as such it is meant primarily as it motorised children’s toy. <\/p>\n
However, if you dispense with the electric motor and do a little detail work, it will make it good showpiece for your shelf or display cabinet. The mouldings are good and detailed and the decal-sheet is of very high quality. <\/p>\n
My only gripe is that for some reason Tamiya has not supplied transparent parts h r the headlights, instead moulding them into the bodyshell. This means you will have to paint them an artificial-looking silver. <\/p>\n
That said, the kit represents good value at \u00a37.99.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":739,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","categories":[],"tags":[167,38185,225,34569,213],"issue_decade":[121589],"issue_year":[121659],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issue_content\/51416"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issue_content"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/issue_content"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/739"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51416"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issue_content\/51416\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":226405,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issue_content\/51416\/revisions\/226405"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51416"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51416"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51416"},{"taxonomy":"issue_decade","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issue_decade?post=51416"},{"taxonomy":"issue_year","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issue_year?post=51416"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
