Porsche 997 GT3 RSR

Is Profil24 the only company making a kit of this car? I saw this kit on ebay and wanted it badly, but that is way too much money for a kit.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Profil24-1-24-Porsche-997-Flying-81-Le-Mans-2011-Studio-27-Tamiya-Top-Studio-/260895647578?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cbe97a75a#ht_4254wt_1163

I know it is a limited run, but $300 for a model car is crazy talk.

Here's one for less from France:

ebay Item number: 390354371635

You may even find them cheaper at other online stores.
Then there's a chance someone may still produce a transkit ( for less $ ) for the Fujimi 911 GT3 RS. There were plans at least :-)

I want the decals from that kit. Does anybody know where i can find them?

Lesley

this thread has some good info in it. Would the slot car body be very hard to make fit on the Fujimi chassis?

My good friend Kevin at StradaSports has them listed at a reasonable price.

Yes, mail profil 24 and ask if you can buy a set.

try, even if I suspect I read the ceased the production of that article because they ended the cartograf decal sheet.
U may also try obtain the 997 RSR using the scaleauto slot body and fitting it over the fujimi kit.The fits is nearly perfect,only u have to change rims (imho they are horrible in fujimi box).scaleauto is for 25 euros on ebay.

Decaldoc makes a good alternative for the flying lizard cars printed in alps.

@jedi801:You may use the ScaleAuto RSR for slotracing, but the body´s dimensions are absolutely wrong if you want to build a model just for display. The Carrera RSR seems to have the best RSR body and fits on the Fujimi chassis very well

Mike

here it is Scaleauto body vs Fujimi body.I suggest this choiche only cause is much cheaper than but a complete slotracer.Down here in I cant find the carrera body alone.Have to buy the complete car.
U only have to open the bonnet air intake.

Scale Auto RSR / Fujimi GT3R

This photo shows it all, the Scale Auto RSR is out of dimensions

as well as the profil 24 is then.

..that seems definitely too small. I still think is the overall look of the model and its setup with wheels that have to be convincing.

http://soldatino.multiply.com/photos/album/135/Comparazione_Porsche_997_GT3_RSR_scaleautoprofil24 _124_#

and when completed with decal artworks it looks convincing to me:

... as you mentioned, the Profil kit has mistakes, and the model with decals has the same mistakes, obviously the coloured decal take away the attention from the not correct areas of the model

OK so for the interior and chassis I will go with the Fujimi GT3R.
http://www.hlj.com/product/FUJ12390

For the body the Scaleauto slot car body.

For the wheels it looks like the Hobby Design GT3 wheels.
http://www.hlj.com/product/HYDHD03-0145

And for the decals, DecalDoc.

http://www.decaldoc.de/0000009f901261702/0000009bb00b1b102/0000009dc40cc1002/0000009f471496209.php

Is that it? It looks like the body will need to be modified a bit to be more accurate.

exactly.If u want a more precise body u must choose the Carrera digital,even if I am sure also with scaleauto u can have a decent replica anyway.

The Carrera Digital body looks great, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. That ebay auction says he only ships to Germany and I'm in the states.

These Carrera Digital bodies seem to be all over ebay.de, but I can't seem to find them in any US online shops. Is this a German only part?

Yeah me too - also in the USA looking for that body - anyone have a link?? - Thanks - John

I got sick of looking so I ordered one from ebay.de. It ended up costing about the same as a compete slot car kit, but this comes unpainted so I went that route.

It 's any shop, anywhere, where I can buy in kit format, the carrera slot bodies?
I only found the complete slots.
Thanks for the advice...

Here is one.

Does the slotcar body fits the fujimi kit(street version)?

Lesley

The street version is the kit I bought. I believe the kits are the same though minus the decals.

Is Profil24 the only company making a kit of this car?

Last October, Matt Wells (owner of Scale Motorsport) told me we is developing a transkit to do the 2011 Lizard cars. He even printed ads of this transkit in the Tamiya Model Magazine. You could send him a mail to ask him the status of his transkit.

Would the slot car body be very hard to make fit on the Fujimi chassis?

The Fujimi chassis need some adjustments to fit the Carrera body, but it is not too hard to do.

I have posted my WIP in this link:

http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=6946182#post6946182

I am using the Fujimi chassis and Carrera body.

Davide making such? didnt know it, must give him a call asap then...was this novegro expo Roby?

Wow, this tk looks really really good. I only hope it's also for the #81 car and the price is fair.

Lesley

Interesting that someone would take the time for this after I've collected almost all the bits for my #80 and #81 Flying Lizard cars - I'm only waiting on my wheels and bits from Mike at Scale Productions and the PE sets from HLJ - John

Paolo > Yes, it was the Spring Model Expo

Lesley > Sorry, I did not explain correctly: the transkit will not include any decals. What shown in the photos is the Decaldoc Flying Lizard set, for exhibition purpose only.

Robi

Nick - I got my wheels from Mike at ScaleProductions yesterday - WOW these are great and well worth the wait. These wheels and the window frames are my first items from Mike, but they won't be the last as he provides some fantastic bits to detail out a scale replica. Thanks again to you, Sam01 and Duncan for helping me get all my bits together to build the Flying Lizard cars - only waiting on the PE sets from HLJ now. - John

There are some news about the above mentioned transkit:

Hey RobiJ - is there a projected price for this trans kit? and who to contact to get one? it would be perfect for making the "Blue" flying lizard car and not having to use an entire RSR slot car body. I have modified one of my RSR bodies with the Fujimi GT3 rear so that it is ready for the "orange" flying lizard car. - John

Thanks for sharing, is decal doc the only source for the flying lizards decals?

Hi John, as far as I know there's no projected price yet. You could contact Davide directly (he speaks English) for further infos:

Bye :)


P.S. I read you're working on more than one interesting project, won't you show something in the future...?

Thanks for sharing, is decal doc the only source for the flying lizards decals?

I guess so.

I've heard rumors that Matthew at SMS is going to do a set. Can anyone confirm that?? I have just picked up the 2007 "Flying Lizard" SMS decals from Mac at Mac's Modeling. Hey for anyone here in The USA not familiar with Mac at Mac's Modeling give him a look - check out his website - prices and shipping is reasonable - he has a lot of hard things to find in stock and he can get anything you want he doesn't have in a couple of weeks. I have been shopping with him now for 2 years and I am very please with his prices and service. Never had a problem And he carries all auto sports - Bikes-F1-sportscars - and any other genre you might be interested in he can get, plus he is working on producing all his own AZRM products - - John

Sweet SMS does have them!!!

Around 60 euros...

Wow, 60 euro for a few parts. That's a lot of cash. He told me the TK would 35 euro's shipped. I think i'm going to stick with making Belcar GT3's.

Best regards,
Lesley

Yeah I can confirm about the transkit - I emailed David - transkit will be 60 euros plus shipping and he says it will be available in September - John

See the photos in the previous page:

Transkit will include photoetched parts (latest infos - 2x wing supports type, front and bumper grilles, side lights, pedals, brake discs, hood pins, seat belts harness, windshield wiper) and the beautiful 18" BBS rims (Scale Production)

I didnt know about the PE parts, wheels from scale production, but if you count everything together(TK, fujimi kit + decal set) then price is about equal to a profil24 kit. Would you agree.

Best regards,
Lesley

Would you agree.

Yes Lesley, despite the P24 shape is not so accurate and the BBS from SP have no competitors. On the other hand, with the transkit a fair amount of surgery is required.

Bye: Roberto

Hey guys - I received a email from David - he has asked me to explained that the 60 euro price was just a forecasted approximate price. He has told me that to produce a quality photo etch set and quality parts for the kit in Italy - the price would be higher than than of a cheap transkit, but he is hoping that he can keep the cost of the kit down to 45 euros for the kit worldwide. David is trying to keep the cost as low as possible without sacrificing quality. when you consider the price of the SP wheels the kit is more reasonable - This is an economic option to buying a slot car body which sells for 30-45 euro by the time you get it shipped to you. - John

As far as the extensive surgery goes - I have made these changes on a slot car body and a Fujimi body and it is not that difficult - so I expect the transkit to be a fairly simple task for the modelers on this forum. - John

The mentioned photoetched set

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a163/RJ1108/Various/Screenshot_fotoinc_FB.jpg

Its still a nice t-kit.

Roberto.

Is there the possibility to sell the parts separately ? For example, divide the TK into three parts: the resin parts, the PE parts and the SP wheels. In this way the cost can be lower, and we have the choice to buy only the necessary. In my case, interest me only the resin parts. I already have the PE and the wheels.

Hi Cristiano,

as far as I know to split the tk is not foreseen, sorry.

DN Racing updated the RSR project. More photos here: https://www.facebook.com/people/Dn-Racing/100001947298055?sk=wall
A note from him - The decals are from Studio27. A bit undersized, they are also fragile and tend to crack; all the blues on this livery have been painted.

Looks like a nice "piece of work" - not as attractive a livery as the "flying lizard" ones, but still it is another one for the collection. - John

Indeed, but i'm going to stick with my 24H of Spa or Belcar Endurance Porsches, so i don't need the TK. I would love to have the PE set. Looks amazing.
