1/12 Kremer K3 Porsche 935

Hello,
i try to build the Kremer K3 Porsche 935 in 1/12 scale
That famous cars was the winner of the 1979 LeMans race.
It was the first,and only as far i know,sportscar who could reach the first place overall against the prototype.
Try to create an good enough model out of the Tamiya Porsche 935 kit.

Major changes have to made to the body work.Mainly the whole body is different.The engine and interior needs not so much attention.
But here a pic to show which car i mean.

Got an old build Tamiya Porsche 935 and lots of new sprues at home.Should be possible to build something K3 like out of it.



First step will be some templates for the wheel arches and the fenders.



I was sure my next build would be an oob build after the Zakspeed car.
And i put my new Tamiya Porsche 935 onto the bench.
But when i searched the web for reference pics,i stumbled over that beautiful Kremer Porsche.
And thats it. I have to build my own one.
The very successful "Numero Reserve" car is a must.But i also like the "Apple" livery car a lot.Will try to create a mold for these.
And the 1980 "Jägermeister" car is also possible.But the 1980 cars needs even more changes to the body.

Regards Christian
