HI!... Well I started to build the Rothman's Porsche 956 today. This is as far as I have got. I didn't like the wheels. They were too yellowed from age IMO so they are currently submerged, going the the whitening process. Sorry for the weird colour picks. I was having camera issues. :(

HI!... Well I got the wheels all whitened. Hard to tell with the camera pics but it's like night and day. 10 times whiter. lol!

It really shows. :y:
What process did you use - hydrogen peroxide and UV?

HI!... Yes I use H/P in a glass bowl with aluminum foil wrapped around it. Shiney side towards the bowl. Then I have a desk light with a true ultra violet light in it that hovers about 2 inches from the bowl. I leave it like that for about 3-4 days.

HI!... Well I got the body cut out finally and the driver all painted up. Hopefully going to paint the body and sticker it in the near future. I had to order the Tamiya colour specific paint. None of the LHS's carry it in stock. :whistle:
