ESCi Porsche RSR Turbo
I was very curous if this kit has any potential so I opened took a close look at the parts and the instruction and thought about taking some pics for everyone interested to buy this kit...
I think that now with the pics anyone can see if is interested or not in the kit since being old product has nothing to do with the usual Tamyia quality... The kit I'm talking about is this:  Now let's take a look at the main parts... Here are some shots of the body...It has some mistakes and two big molding lines running from the start to the finish...Not too much but the front bumper needs some work!   The seats look like crap I don't know why...I don't think that the original are like that...  The undercariage has no detail to it but it fits great in the body it fits perfect to the body...   The windshield...  And the only one parts tree...  The tires are like shit...Too bad molding...  Decals...  And the instructions...not that they are neede but...  so you know now how the kits look...You know if it's up to your skill or if it has the potential...

And something to help you out a little bit more take a look at the body after I filled the mold lines gave it a good sanding and sprayed a good(but not heavy...) layer of primer...
   And the tires after some sanding...

Starting to look good!
The kit all in all seems very good, except the chassis, but almost nobody will look at that, so I think there is great potential in it ! Keep building with the attention you've done the first steps,and we 'll be in for a stunning model olivier Oh and could it be possible to have some close-up pics from primered rims?

About the older Esci kits, I build some in the past, and I have some others waiting, and although they are not as finely molded as fe. Tamiya, fitment should not be a problem.
Basic kits, but with a little attention to detail, you'll end up with a fantastic replica, which not many others will have. You started very well! Keep 'em coming.

Hey, ESCI kits can be fun. No, wait, they're a royal pain.
Make something good out of this one. So to show those toolcutters what it's supposed to look like. And speaking of which, is this going to be in Martini colors or are you doing something of your own?

Well I wasn't going to start the kit...I just did the first steps to see if it worths the money spent...
I was just going to store it and built it later on... But after cleaning the body and having it for two days sitting in my desk I really want to start it after I finish the GT2... The main problem of this kit is the very basic interior and the very very plain undercarriage...But I think that with some scratch building will look great...I'm so tempted to try my hand at it...It seems like a chalenging model... Octagon of course in Martini colors... If I find inside this week a Tamiya silver and a Dupli-Color chrome(for the wheels and rollcage)I'l propably start it... Thanks for your replys...(Sorry for my english...) P.S:I'd love to see one of them built if you ahve any pics...I think Veyron has seen some pics...
