Hey guys,
After having studying it for a huge amount of time with the gang (Allan, Lee) some years ago, and after having bought Tim Ketzer's Entex Porsche 2 years ago, it was time to start building a Slave One.
I've started with IMHO the most difficult part of this build : the wings. It's quite hard to figure how they built it besides the obvious parts. Doing the right cuts is a chore.
Im sorry for the solvent marks on the black styrene, not very pretty ! But invisible once painted.
The triangle ribs are the first cut Ive done with my CNC for one of my modelling project. Pretty happy ! I got it working !
I think I nailed the shapes/angles/cuts. I think the short Morser Karl part I glued on the black styrene (when you look at the front) should be a long one, cut to size. Well, I'll try to check it on the real model.
I dont have my Porsche at home so I cant go further..., I will just finish this wing assembly (I have some cutouts to do and some scribing...) and Im going to build the second wing.

The 312T spoilers :
The one on the right (the yellowish) is from a vintage kit, the blue one on the left is from a new kit. As always, I prefer to remove the chrome to get a strong bond.
