This kit is designed for preparers, painters, and collectors who want to go beyond the pre-decorated car. If you enjoy working with an airbrush, paints like Vallejo, Tamiya, or Kaleido, and like to reproduce historical liveries or create original decorations, this is your starting point. It is also a very interesting option for those looking to replace the body of their Scaleauto Porsche 959 Raid and take the opportunity to give it a completely new look.

Recommended preparation process

As this is a white body, before applying paint it is advisable to:

1. Clean the piece with water and neutral soap to remove residues from the manufacturing process.
2. Gently sand the areas that require it to ensure a smooth surface.
3. Apply a layer of primer compatible with the body material.
4. Proceed with the chosen decoration using acrylic paints (Vallejo, Tamiya, Kaleido) or airbrush.
5. Protect the finish with a matte, satin, or glossy varnish according to the desired result.

The Porsche 959 Raid: an icon of rally-raid

The Porsche 959, in its competition version for rally-raid, is one of the most admired prototypes in the history of adventure motorsport. Developed in the mid-80s, it combined cutting-edge technology —four-wheel drive, adaptive suspension, twin-turbo boxer engine— with an aggressive and distinctive aesthetic. Its participations in the Dakar Rally, culminating in a memorable victory in 1986, turned it into a legend. Reproducing it in scale, and doing so with your own hands, is a way to pay tribute to that unrepeatable chapter in motor history.
