Porsche 911 GT1 '98 LeMans 1:43
Hi everybody
After about three years on AF this is finally my frist finished model to show:-) It's the sister car of the 1998 Le Mans 24h winning Porsche 911 GT1. That was the last time Porsche ran a factory effort to win the race which they did after the GT1 cars had failed the over all win in the two previous years. This was Porsche's first full carbon fibre car after the previous two GT1's had been made with composite bodywork but based on metal structures. The kit is from BBR and wasn't exactly trouble free. If you haven't seen it yet you can have a look in the WIP thread: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=763905 But now for some pictures of the finished thing:      Thanks for watching . Hope you enjoyed it! Cheers Jaykay |

Very nice, I don't really like the wheels though.

Truly amazing work in 1/43 scale all the added parts really make a difference. The wheel nuts you turned look great the rear tail lights are stunning. Can't wait till you finish another one.

Re: Porsche 911 GT1 '98 LeMans 1:43
The result is great, but seeing all the mods you done.... in few millimetres...just incredible. I'm doing a 1/43 delta, my first: I taken courage and also some inspirations from your job. Yep, incredible job.

I still can't get over the scale, this is a beautifully built model. I really enjoyed the wip and seeing this finished makes me look forward to your next one. A great build.

Quite simply stunning!
Other than that I'm lost for words! Now you're on a roll finishing kits, how about that MP4/4 ?

I agree entirely. Superb job in such a small scale. The finish on the carbon is particularly good. Well done.
