Tamiya Newman Porsche 956 "1985"
































Well I finally got the new body (TBG), painted and NIP vintage decals applied. Here's a few pics :

I remember this kit from way back and seeing it on the shelf of the hobby store. I always liked the Black white and Yellow color scheme.

Excellent job!

I love that car!!! I wanted one When it came out, after I had bought the Rothschild 956. I had painted the body all black. Never did buy a new body to paint it like that.

HI!... You mean the ROTHMAN's 956. I have one of those too. Still have to paint the body though. Built it from a NIP kit.

Oops, yup, lol!!!

Sorry to kick up an old post, but this is fantastic! I just picked up an all original...trying to decide what direction to take it. I might be reaching out for some guidance!

Here are two other options I did with TBG bodies and custom decals.

There are so many other 956/962 liveries. Not sure what to try next...

Does anyone know of a secret source for differential parts for an MK.7 chassis...I'm having a tough time tracking it down.

i'm not sure i can be helpful, but those parts look very similar to traxxas fiero pan car diff parts. Maybe you can retrofit those parts to get you up and running?

It took me some time to find one, ended up with winning a bid on Ebay. Tamiya 50173 is the gear set you want.

Thanks for this information Mr therigliveson
