Porsche 3.0 RSR 1976

Hello,

Wow, this swidish RSR is nice and can be sure you won't meet so much same RSR on tables of expos! Well, exept if Joka-1 is on your road!

With a little search, I have finely find this brand. That is DMC, right?

And this 3.5CSL, poooh! yes, I am in love!!
About that, is there a nice kit of the Bat-BMW?!

Tomorrow, it is Renaissance open doors, I will dream in live

ahaha..yep yep...we must make team work at all Lars !
we just need some more pics. they are too nice really


Lolo, yep, taht is the company making the decals. I suggest anyway to buy theme from the german guy selling theme in ebay (abc-shop.de) . he is much faster in delivery, even if a little more expensive.

Ps: bat bmw?, only an old arii kit with terrible wheels, or a much nicer and much rare batmobile done by marui

Paolo. You got the same pics that I have too.
We need some more from back side .

If you haven't seen this site yet, it's worth a look. Lots of historical RSR photos!

When my body arrives, I plan to do the Henninger Beer white & red #74 that raced in the IMSA series in the mid-seventies.

In the production of my bodies, some testshot were failed.
I will anyway not trash theme. we call theme "the cadavers" but u know..even if holed, unmoulded or destroyed, there is always a way to save part of theme.

So happens I kept with me one of the most damaged ones, not suitable for sale, and decided to try save it and make some cool experiments on the body.
The main problems seems were around the lower part of the mould, so had to rebuild in plasticard a big part in the rear lower bumper (double curved area, not so easy..)

So first of all I open completely the holes created by air bubbles, giving theme a squared shape and refilled with huge plasticard..







my idea is to make something similar to the completely holed vents as seen on some IROC cars or on jagermeister car. they look way cool so cutted

[lovegt40]

progress

[lovegt40]

was nearly done with the rebuild of the rear lower vents...





when the dark side of the cutting blade took me and ..











some parts as the front bonnet need to be thinnered with drill..




this resin is real easy to sand and cut. It really seems to be working with ordinary plastic









and meanwhile I sand, drill and cut this unique car...my Kompis is sooo interested in my work...

Now btw I have to stop for a while, cause my initial idea to use the 935 basic toy-ish chassis for this car cant go on.
I cutted all the car with the (foolish?..) idea to make , maybe, a full detail Jagermeister RSR, but the interior provided in tamiya 935 is too basic and mistaken in too many parts.
The cockpit for example has a great space for the 1.5 battery..that completely changes the real space in the car..ok maybe for a closed curbside, but no way to use it in a full detail model.



as well as all the front and rear area are just plastics to close the lower part of the model, while I probably will take the engine, or part of it, from a fujimi enthusiast model 911s I already ordered time ago.



probably I can also use part of some old esci 934 modelkit to detail the front part, cause in the italian kit it was anyway much better than the nothing provided in tamiya 935. The usage of the lower part of tamiya kit allows me to save the bodyshell for esci´s lower kit leftovers...



so, really all the main internal parts must be taken only from the newer 934, and all the measures fits even better. I am nowadays waiting another tamiya jag 934, but think it will need some weeks before arrive to Sweden, so for now the "vivisectioned" car can sleep well in her box..



all this internal parts from the original 935 kit can be used only for a curbside model then, but this isnt a problem cause I already plan to make several versions using my "cadavers"..

Paolo, nice cutting! Full open is always better than no open!

[gtziaf]

Oooo! That is serious Paolo...

[lovegt40]

eh eh, tahnk you my friends
I must study careful the pics, as I already asked to master modeller LucaC74 , about the detailing of this car.
Also the rollcages are different in some pics, even if I suspect some of theme must be replicars or modern clones of the 70s rsr.
Look here what I mean:



and here:


or here..


I must anyway wait the 934 to fit it well, and mostly start plan the engone bay and the front trunk. The car was fitting anyway good with setup from 935...

and here a very nice link imho about the replica build of a nice car in Holland:

And nice cutting for the doors and other parts. It looks so easy!

I really have no idea Lolo.
Think yes, it can be a psychedelic porsche, but nearly surely she is a modern/historic racing ones (from the rims) like many others nowadays reusing marjuana scheme of the 70s




from her rear 935 biplane wing I think she should be also an IMSA or american racer. They made several copies of the psyche schema also in Cayman interserie cup, even if this RSR is imho a lot nicer and aggressive than caymans..
