WIP: 1976 Porsche 930/934 Turbo RSR road/track refugee

[p3nt]

Hello all, long-time lurker, first-time poster.

A bit of a zietgeist-y project here, with the 50th anniversary of the 911, Tamiya's release of the Jagermeister 934 last year, and the rising profiles of Singer and Magnus Walker.

Going to generally try and keep this late 70s/early 80s period, so glassfibre rather than cf.

Base model:
Tamiya 24328 Jagermeister Porsche 934

Additional parts:
Eduard pe seatbelts
Hobby Design resin Sparco Evo seat
MFH 1970s prototype tyres
Racing 43 pe wheel fans*
Tamiya 911 flatnose interior

Modifications:
Front splitter
Front diveplanes*
Vac-formed windows*
Headlamps tinted yellow
Rear window tinted yellow
NACA duct in the right rear wheelarch
Drilled rear bumper
Exhaust silencer
Gurney flap on rear wing

* maybe

Initial test fit:





MFH 1970s tyres

Good things:

MFH tyres fit on the front rims perfectly


stance appears to be generally 'good'...

Less good things:

...if a little high at the rear. Front wheels also look a bit too far back maybe.


And tyres fit a little less perfectly at the rear- predictable, given these are meant for Porsche 917s etc. Rims will need to be widened.


some large gaps between the two halves of the body.


The wheel fans are from a Lancia Delta:
