SLOT SOUL: Porsche 917K

SLOT SOUL
Fly Porsche 917K

2007 has to be the year of the plain kit. Slot.it, MB Slot, Ninco and Spirit all release slots in plain kits so you can create your own piece of slot soul, a unique liveried slot car with your own character. I find that there is nothing more enjoyable as racing your own personal liveried slot.

I thought I'd start sharing some of my sprayed and liveried slot cars as I really enjoy this aspect of our great hobby. If you're a first timer, this section is designed to inspire you to start down the road of producing your own slot cars. If you have already explored this aspect of our hobby, I hope you enjoy the photos. I encourage you to send some photos of your cars in so I can share them with other readers.

This slot started life as a Fly Porsche 917K kit car. I felt the livery was a little on the boring side so decided to give it a face lift. You can read a 'How-To' on the relivery process for this slot here: http://manicslots.blogspot.com/2007/12/how-to-917k-respray.html

The decals I used are produced by DMC but there are plenty of other excellent decal manufactures. I source my decals from Pendle Slot Racing: http://www.pendleslotracing.co.uk/
