911 SC/RS Mashup

Hello All,

Starting with the chassis of a Tamiya 934 last year, I decided to build a "street" version. Then I tried putting a 930 Turbo body on it, planning to make it look like Magnus Walker's own early 930. I didn't like the impact bumpers, however, and sidelined the projected. Fast forward to the present: Scale Production RS 3.0 body in Tamiya Mica Blue:





Here are the wheels, which started out as 15" Campagnolos. They were enlarged to 16" by Michael Newport, AKA Wheelman, on Facebook as Buckeye Scale Auto parts.



Although this is a street car, it wears four 934 slicks, which I haven't finished detailing yet. The Idlers scrips are silly, I know; this car will have no RWB association. I just thought they were cool. Plus there will be some circuit-inspired influence, as you'll see...





I highly recommend this transkit for the Tamiya Porsches; it's a lot like the styrene body on which it's based, only prettier and without mold lines. It is very easy to work with and was prepared for paint in less than half an hour.
