blast from my past...Porsche safari martini 1/24

[lovegt40]

yes, is a blast from the past cause I remember I started this car back in 2015 togethere with my 991 rsr.
I made a multiple start but yes, is better to divide each one into single wip. so here the start...

I started this body using the parts from esci/heller 934 rsr, and cutting and reshaping all the wheel arches. At the time nor tamiya rsr and revell rsr were availble on the market, as well as neither the recent model Luca did for arena in 1/24 was existing. I just had those old studio27 decals (that many report as too bad) and started it.
The tires are coming from italeri esci range rover. In those days I restarted this model to do something different, and today more easier for me to complete.

the car is this. Many replica cars are around. I like all of theme, oncluding the most recent ones.








I had also an unknown origin resin ducktail, copy of the part included into fujimi carrera rs recently reissued.

and my first test were made on 2 fujimi carrera body (fujimi in red, italeri revell in yellow) but becoming the revell 964 a rare kit i prefer to keep it safe











the body in this model is still at today a nice one.

since my start of some yrs ago, the rear bumper must be modifed








lifting all suspensions




















I dusted a little the wheels and the lower chassis. I know the very hard part is still to come, cause st27 decals have some problems...
