Porsche 962C Hasegawa
Oh no! California Steve has returned!
And it's about time. Oh my how life gets in the way. All good, and I figured since seeing all the really great race car builds I would throw in my humble offerings.
A basic, and I mean basic kit. But a lot of fun. I built this OOB because the yellow color just caught my eye. If you do a search for images of the 962C their are so many different paint schemes to choose from.
Well that's all for now. Have fun and take care Gents and Lady.

Thanks Jaime. It is good to be back. Some really great posts. I have been following but not gluing things. I shall change my ways.
Great to hear from you.

Why thank you Tom. It was a fun little build. I have a question for you. The F-4-F on flotes is that the one you built for the Chino Planes of Fame? That is one of my favorites.

Thank you very much Alan. Great to hear from you.

That sure will stand out in the cabinet!
California Steve said on November 8, 2020
Thank you very much Haslam. It almost glows in the dark next to the camo painted builds.
I might have to make a shelf for the shiny things!
Thanks again.

Steve! Have missed ya, boyo. Haven't seen that icon in too long.
That's a very cool lookin' automobile you did. Nice shiny paint.
But shouldn't FromA have a toZ after it?
California Steve said on November 8, 2020
Hello Bill! You know, I really have to look up just who the heck is From -A .

That's a nice Porsche, Steve @stevenflowers !
OOB looks great!
I am realitvely new to iModeler, but, judging from above gents comments, I welcome you back here!
California Steve said on November 8, 2020
Thank you very much Spiros. I took a look at your builds. Very very nice! I too have two boys both in their thirties now. Your boys looked like they were loving the trip to the plane museum.
Thank you again Spiros.

Spiros Pendedekas said on November 8, 2020
Yep, Steve @stevenflowers, I have been bringing them to the base I work since they were a few months old.
So, it's in the breed!
They are 5 and 3 years old now, addicted to planes and aviation!
Glad to hear you have two boys too!
Thanks for kind words!

Amazing 962 Steve but what is really amazing (other than your return) is that there was a road spec version of this car! For actual use on public roads with other motorists!

Here's one in yellow to compliment your racer. One for the track, one for the road! I do wonder how many 917 genes still reside in the 962 as the family resemblance is there!

Way cool Josh! Please send me the street car. I can't imagine driving this on the street.
In the kit they give you a couple of options for the rear spoiler. One inside the whale tail and one {get out your Dremel tool} of a stand alone spoiler. Thanks for sending the photo and the welcome back.

Sharp finish. I was wondering where you were. Welcome back!
Eric Berg said on November 9, 2020
Looks great. Nice to see you back with this Porsche. Imodeler needs more automotive builds like yours.
California Steve said on November 10, 2020
Thank you very much John.
California Steve said on November 10, 2020
Thanks Eric. It was a fun one.
Richard Mcstay said on November 12, 2020
Awesome mate!
Yes, I'm tired of working for a living cutting into my model building time!
Good to have you back.
California Steve said on November 13, 2020
Hey Richard! Great to hear from you again. Glad you liked. I just picked up a old Monogram Lola Indy car model. It's the STP Vince Granatelli issue. I couldn't help myself. At a whopping $16.00 American what could possibly go wrong?
Maybe I should have left off the last sentence. Haa!
Madness and Chaos to follow!
