Highlights of the 51491 Porsche 956 Body

  • Material: Flexible polycarbonate chosen for impact tolerance and ease of finishing.
  • Inclusions: Includes window masks and a selection of decals to recreate period-correct markings.
  • Driver Torso: Comes with a driver torso to enhance the cockpit realism.
  • Compatibility: Designed specifically for mounting on the RM-01 chassis.

Is additional reinforcement needed for contact racing?

For close-contact racing, consider reinforcing vulnerable mounting points with lightweight tape or internal supports to reduce tearing.

How do I prepare the shell for painting?

Clean the inner surface with isopropyl alcohol, apply light tack over areas to be masked, and use polycarbonate paint in several thin coats.

Can decals be layered for custom liveries?

You can combine supplied decals with aftermarket stickers, but seal overlaps with a compatible clear to prevent lifting.

Will the driver torso accept additional paint?

Yes, the driver torso can be detailed with acrylics or model paints; seal with a matte or satin varnish once dry.

Does the body include fixing hardware?

Fixing posts or screws are not included; use your existing RM-01 mounting hardware or compatible aftermarket posts.
